This was very skillfully and artistically done. You are the master of vectors and textures.
The eyes came out incredibly beautiful, and you know that I am an eye guy. The eyebrow is totally cool too.

Pretty! Are you showing any of this in an actual gallery (as opposed to on line) wherever you are locally? If not, I really think you could do a really fabulous, successful showing, and make some serious money at this. Gifted. Fabulous, as usual Troy. Infinite blessings!

My problem, and many other artists' too, which is sad. The SVG's are slowly mounting up on my hard drive- ha! So you have never ordered one of your prints from DA? I wondered how the quality (colour, paper, resolution, etc.) was on those? Heard any mention of it? I have been a bit reluctant since for my SVG stuff it would require conversion to another format. So far, they are not accepting SVG as a printable format, and the raster stuff, if it has to be resized, even slightly, it becomes pixelated, which sucks.
So with the vexel stuff, are you saving it in a large raster format, and are the pieces originally Vector? For ex., are the textures vectorized first, or are there elements that are vector and elements that are raster? Just curious. Thus far my vector stuff has been solely SVG, but saved to PNG for the sake of displaying them on the web.
Perhaps the various contests will bring in a little something? You know...do the stuff that could possibly make some money, as it is still a creative design endeavor, to fund the stuff you really want to do and have printed and shown. I have been thinking along these lines here lately. Apparently, there aren't too many folks out there scanning the various on line galleries for undiscovered artists to snatch up for job/gallery prospects, like Nashvegas is with musicians and singers! I'm a bit naive and extremely idealistic (:
Infinite blessings!

yeah i plop my pure vectors down as png
i usually sharpen them just a bit and resize them smaller as i think that makes the smaller versions look better
but if i call them vectors they contain nothing else
then with the vexels i take that file and do other stuff. I love the results here without creating huge and complex svgs
everyone and a while ill bring the texture in to inkscape and trace its path and use it there. Then i consider it a pure vector when its done.
except for some of my quick halloween jam stuff (where i called them all vexels because I wanted a horor category) ive seperated them out correctly
ive paid for my da subscription so far with contests
thats nice!
ive never orderd a print from da
some day i will! but damn im poor

Thanks for the info! I asked because thus far mine have been strictly SVG, but I love the texture effects you have created. I still haven't gotten the hang of the pattern feature on Inkscape- I have used the "Objects to pattern" but it still has a small space around where it tiles (unless I create a really large pattern area), and then I can only create the pattern within the SVG I am working on- it doesn't save it to Inkscape to be used in another SVG, which I believe requires text editing, which I am clueless about. I have toyed with vectorizing things I have created in Photoshop, and that works fairly well.
Poor- me too (I'm in the negative as we speak), but I am glad you are making a little something with those contests and able to afford the subscription service, which is a hopeful thing (: It'll happen. I do believe.

Oh don't be modest (speaking as an overly self-critical person myself)! Not just blowin' smoke up your butt- you ARE really talented, and have a knack for this vector stuff as I do, seriously. I'm 40, and only within the past few years have honed my skills to my own degree of acceptability, and you are quite a few years younger, already creating some fabulous, professional art. Art school would absolutely love you! I've only been do+ing digital art, vector in particular, about a year, still fairly a newbie myself, still many things with the program to learn and discover, some I am naively unaware of, but what you have, and indeed myself is those basic drawing and painting skills, imagination, creative experimentation, ingenuity, innovation, and thinking outside the box, that makes for a finished piece that looks like you've been doing this for years (:
Another word for simple is elegant (: Sometimes more shtuff and detail is a big cluster fark, overdone, and redundant. I've managed to cluster fark up a lot of things, being to overly detailed in an OCD way, and have to remind myself that simple IS elegant- kind of a Zen thing. Zen and the Art of Art. Zen and the Art of Playing Violin- someone needs to write these books, if they haven't already been written (:
Infinite blessings!

To me this is probably one of you best pieces to date! I love the darkness to the left, and the light on the right... Such contrast really frames the face! The textures are awesome and true to your wonderful work!!!
Love it!! Faving now!
