Artist's Comments

I still protest that the category has to be "people" and not "portrait"... :|

Changed the weird part of the background to look more smooth and natural. Hope it looks ok now. :)

If you aren't fond of the beach background, there's a more pop art traditionally vectoresque background altertative here.

Anyways, here's my second gradient mesh and first gradient mesh portrait. I know it's not all super realistic, but I still like the outcome. The hair was a real bitch, I must say, but that was mostly because it was trial and error.

I hope you like it. I really hope :iconblissfullysarcastic: =BlissfullySarcastic likes it! :giggle:

Outline of background
Referenced stock:

Original background stock photo by :iconjennifermary: ~jennifermary [link]

Ponytail stock by :iconshelldevil: `shelldevil [link]

The photo of the girl is quite small, for working with vectors - 400 x 359. That might explain why I've had some troubles! :lol:

The girl's name is Andrea. She is from Roseville, California. She has a profile by the name of dangerbitch on livejournal, but it hasn't been updated since around 2005. If anyone knows her, please contact her and let her know I made a portrait of her. :)

Edit: Omg! DD!!! Thank you so much, :iconvashtastic: =VashTastic for suggesting it and :iconikue: ^Ikue for featuring it!!! :love:

Great-great job. :love:
The background is a bit weird for the rest of the picture because the actual girl is amazingly smooth, BUT you did a fantabulous job anyway. :la:

YOU FINISHED IT! :la:
And it looks awesome. The background has an interesting contrast to the rest of the picture as it's kind of pixellated as opposed to the human subject. But it's still really cool. :eager:
