Love is... Vexel contestAbout the contest
It's all about LOVE and what it is for YOU. Is it your boyfriend, wife, dog, playstation? Or maybe an old CD album? Whatever LOVE IS... to you I want to see it!
Rules
1. Only Vexels are allowed. If you're unsure what Vexels are please follow this link: http://jussta.deviantart.com/journal/The-New-Vexel-Definition-214219979
2. If you're using any kind of stock please credit all artists.
3. You can enter as many times as you wish but you can only win once.
4. To add a little twist you must use ONE of these colour palettes, that means no adding extra colours or mixing two or more palettes (you can use different opacities and gradients of course):

The New Vexel Definition1. Vexels- what are they?
Vexels are layered raster shapes of solid colour or gradients/ solid shapes/ raster shapes with look of vector.
The word 'vexel' is a mix of words 'vector' and 'pixel'.
2. The difference between vexels and vectors
The most important difference is that vexels are created using raster layers while vectors are created using vector layers.
Rasters are based on pixels (little squares) and each square is given a fixed colour. When you expand it you can see pixelation.
Shapes created using vector layers while expanding stay crisp and don't lose their quality.
Let me explain the difference on this example.

The image above is a vector. When expanding it to 300% it will still stay sharp:

If the same image was created on raster layers it would look blurry after expanding to 300%:

3. What is allowed and what's not when creating vexel art

Fridaylicious#38_Butterfly

:iconjussta:

What is Fridaylicious? It used to be a weekly themed art feature. Now I'm thinking about posting these articles every 2-3 weeks.

It has been a long time since previous Fridaylicious article was posted. It happened mainly because the new browsing system but also because... well... I had better things to do.

This article is dedicated to ~malivampir who somehow 'forced' me to post this ;)

Sit down and enjoy these beautiful pieces of art. Remember to comment/fave them!
