    Self Portrait

    I have been totally uninspired all day, but I still tried to make something in photoshop, I started over on at least three things that didnīt work at all, so finally I just took a picture of myself and starting messing around with it. I suppose it turned out kind of interesting, I would rather call it that than bad lol.

    Wow nice!!! I love that piece! NOT bad at all, Simply a work of art... You should add that to your personal portfolio or gallery. Love the grunge and the expression, makes you think

    Very lovely Vafann. Very pretty girl. If you see her, tell her I said so.

    If I have any suggestions at all, it would be to open up the eye just a bit more, especially at the bottom. It wouldn't hurt to warp the (what do you call it?) design there to pull both leaves open a bit and rotate it if necessary. It's very symmetrical, but I can see where rotating it would take it out of the frame. I guess you could enlarge it a bit. Or not to any of that. I'm feeling like I offer you meaningless critique sometimes, especially when your work stands up quite well without changes. But you said to keep it coming, so there! Your projects lately have been very impressive.

    Thank you so much Clare! Yes I do want you to keep them coming, peopleīs critiques are waht is helping me to learn to be better. Also, when I know that something is wrong, but canīt really see what it is exactly, or donīr know how to fix something, youīre suggstions always make perfect sense. And in cases like this, what you said about the design thing, you are confirming my thoughts about it, so that I know that itīs not only me whoīs seeing it. I love your suggestions, they are all always valid.

    Vafann oh Vafann, i remember your first days here and you asking for help with some layers to your head. Now look at you all grown up and running coming up with all of these very individual and personal creations only you can conceive.
    You could put one new one of your up any day, and nearly everyone here would know it was your creation, without your name being next to it. Take credit and accept it mate, truly you are growing.
