Former thread titled "Needed: a VERY large resolution picture of a celebrity."
Preferably female, preferably good looking.

I need it for an Illustrator project where I have to do a photo-realistic image in vector graphics. I'm going to be starting at it for a while, so a cute female is preferred :p

It's going to be an 8x10 and I need to be able to zoom in really large without pixelation.

I need to do just the face, so a full body shot would not needed.

So something in the area of 2400x3000 would be great.

I'm not opposed to re-drawing a male, but facial stubble is hard to re-do in vector.

In attempt to make this not be locked for leaning towards a babe thread...

That's how much I've done so far. Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that this is in ILLUSTRATOR... which is vector... if you don't know the diff. between vector and raster/pixel, just smile and nod ;)

Added some semblance of a nose. Needs some work on the blends, but it gives a better look.

about 4 hours of work thus far. Last time (also my first time) I did one it took me about 15 hours to get this far. :)

Comments are welcome. :)

I've worked a lot on the shading on the right side... It looks a bit better if you cover up the left side with your hand or something, but I hope to get working on some of that tonight.

This is the first chance I've gotten to work on it since the last update... sitting at around 7 hours.

Almost there. A couple more hours of work, and half an hour just staring looking for obvious mistakes. It's mostly work on the hair which will make the shading around the left eye make sense and look better... Still have to touch up the meshes around the right nostril and add some shading to the upper lip (It took me like 3 hours to do the shading on the upper lip! ;) )
Then I gotta add the necklace and some boney looking blends to the hands.

After that... just minor corrections.

Spent a week doing other crap and totally forgot to work on this.

This will probably be the last post about it, because any other changes I make will probably be minor. Comments and suggestions are welcome :)

(Should I post the cropped version of the picture I worked from?)

what the hell is wrong with her nose?

She just has a button nose. It doesn't stick out far on the bridge... that or the lighting is really bright.

I am talking about the skin... it looks like it has cracks on it.

You're forbidden to look at Alba again. I'm sure you don't mind.

Wow, you're really used to super-airbrushed pictures, eh?
