Another weird self portrait

I have been totally uninspired, and couldn´t come up with one single idea for any kind of Photoshop project, so I just started messing around with own face.

Talk about self-mutilation.... lol... happens.... even to me.

hmmmmm... if you change the dark mat on the face to green it might look better.....
Lol Dv8! I actually think it was a stroke of genius to be able to create a palette of such absolutely hideous colors, I will probably never be able to do that again (thank god) lol! :)

I know the feeling..... You don't know what you want to do... you don't know how to do it... you end up creating something but don't remember how got there.....

Vafann, I love the newer version but I can see the potential to make this first one a powerful work. Fool around with contrast, bring out elements of the face -- the eyes tend to disappear, and maybe an overlay of color like the lizad suggested. I love work that is mysterious and even bordering on morbid I suppose though I don't think of it that way. It is just at the dark end of the range of artistic expression and so it is an echo of the darker range of our emotions. And so on and so on, lol.
