Definition of a Vexel (quick summary)

Tue Jul 7, 2009, 6:25 PM
PLEASE READ THE ARTICLE HERE.


Just spreading the word on what is, and isn't a vexel. The recent debate has sparked the solidifying of the term. It will most likely not change, as this is what the majority of the community agrees on. If you have a problem with teh defintion, do not take it up with ^Jules1983 or ^shebid, but please go directly to $Moonbeam13. Here's a summary of the article.

A vexel on deviantART is accepted as
:bulletblue: A full raster piece taking after the look of vector (The layered look) OR
:bulletblue: Raster layers along with vector layers (For example, a solid raster base with vector gradients) OR
:bulletblue: A vector piece (excluding gradient mesh) with raster elements (Textures, patterns, dropshadows, outerglows)


The following is the set of rules which must be followed in order to create a vexel that is valid
:bulletwhite: No airbrushing or painting to blend.
:bulletwhite: No blurring, smudging, sharpening, burning or dodging (Most filters would not be accepted, as well as the cutout filter).
:bulletwhite: Glows used to cheat blending, as opposed to using several layers or gradients, are not allowed.
:bulletwhite: Brushes allowed for a) Decoration, b) Hair (Stroke path.) Brushes should not be the main part of the piece. If the piece more brushes than hand-rendered shapes, it would no longer be considered vexel.
:bulletwhite: Photos overlayed over your finished product are not allowed.
:bulletwhite: Soft, feathered or photo brushes are not allowed.
:bulletwhite: Brushes used for texturing are allowed, provided they lightly texture and not take over.
:bulletwhite: Solid layers or gradient layers must be visible (Even if barely)
:bulletwhite: Textures, patterns, outerglows and dropshadows are allowed, as long as they are not overbearing. Use your discretion wisely.
:bulletwhite: Photograph backgrounds are not allowed. (This would be mixed media, as you are mixing both the medium of vexel with the medium of photography)
:bulletwhite: No gradient mesh, as it doesn't have the layered look achieved in vexel art, layers need to be visible (no matter how finely blended)
:bulletwhite: Each layer must be manually and individually rendered, so that excludes the use of LiveTrace.

I had another nightmare. This one felt so real that I wanted to cry when I woke up.

So I woke up on the morning of, but I didn't have enough time, I wasn't prepacked (even though I plan to be), I didn't have liquids in a quart-sized bag, no carry-on.. I mean, it sucked man, it really sucked. Then I had realized I hadn't printed out my itinerary thing. So even though it was early in the morning, I went into my neighbors house. I couldn't remember the password on orbitz, so I logged into my email. Guess what, the people who owned the computer made it to where you couldn't log out of their hotmail. So I was screwed. Then I saw the clock (no makeup on, mind you) and there was 10 minutes to my departure, and I was at home. It takes about 20 minutes, 30 even, to get to the airport from where I live. Man, It really sucked. I missed my flight and everything was horrid D:

ARE NIGHTMARES NORMAL FOR GOD'S SAKE?

We are the water of the oceans, the wind above the clouds, the earth beneath the sun, the fire erupting from mountains.

We are giants and ants. We are princes and paupers. We are comedians and sadists.

We are good. We are evil.

We are life.
DUDE. I had another nightmare. This one was WORSE ;_;

I was at the airport, NO luggage or ANYTHING. I was about to get on the plane and they yelled that it was too full so I waited, and when the next one came, I had my luggage so when I opened the plane door the plane flew off and exploded and shit. So I was like.. woah, wait a sec, I didn't even get a boarding pass..or go through security. So It took me forever to find the counter to get my boarding pass, and after I did, I went to security, and the emo boy at the counter asked for the ID I never made. And also, I never printed out the stuff in the email so I was 100% screwed.
