That's kickin'


Decided to make a some-what of a self portrait with a touch. I thought it looked like me but apparently my mother didn't think so xD
So now I don't know if I should consider it a self portrait. :P

I liked playing around with the color palette. And this time, I tried something different. Instead of using 100 layers, I only used around 12 or 13 and merged them as I went along. It does make painting more fun!

Took roughly 5 hours in Photoshop Cs3 with my Wacom Tablet.

Awwwwesome! This is incredibly realistic, and the details on--well, everything--are just fantastic. Bravi. :D

Art is all about mistakes and knowing which ones to keep.

Oh, just kidding, I see your summary says you used a computer:)
