Description
I had to do a self portrait assignment for Digital Imaging class
and the first part I cannot post here because we had to put ourself into a famous painting 
but the second one we could do anything. I've never been quite fond of self portraits so I decided to do something easy take a photo I already had of myself and then took a patch of tiger fur from one of my photos I took at the Cincinatti zoo and overlayed it on
I did edit some of the stripes to make them longer and or shorter and add new ones. I also took out my eyebrow since one of the stripes kinda took that area over anyways. I then proceeded to make my eye more cat like which I then ended up taking a photo of my cat Beau's eye 
After getting a photo of his eye I shaped it to the area I wanted as well as dialated the pupil more.I actually am not too fond of this picture...it was really easy to make and I didn't put that much effort into it...but what do you know my prof. just loved it
she gave me a 100 and stated"Eye creates a strong focal point...interesting use of line in highlights of hair(veritcal) and stripes on fur/skin(horizontal) and curling lines of flowers."
so it looks like if I don't like the outcome of my image she will love it.[link] Original Photo

The eyes are almost scary!
Almost looking like a cat there! Not a bad thing, it is the strips that do it!
Pretty cool! How was your grade on it?

Such a great idea and a lovely selfportrait when we come to it. Very anthro. :3
I really like the "cat-feeling" here and the flower behind your ear, I think I have a pretty much similar one to put on my hair. But it's silver. Anyway. The stripes and the eye are all great and this whole photo just has that awesome mysterious feeling cats have in their eyes. I'm not that sure about adding white, which some of the comment suggest, because I think it would make the mysterious less effective. Dunno. Great it is as it is.

I do love what you've done with the eye. I was thinking originally that it might have looked better with some white fur around the face, but the more I look at it, I think it would be distracting. The fact that you've used red/orange colors unifies the whole piece and allows the viewer to focus on the eye. Is this the same professor that didn't like your flower/butterfly hybrid?

Yes its the same teacher. She's the only prof except for one that teachers lighting.

Thats why she is the prof and you are the student; it is a great image.

I really like the concept for this picture and the eye is really beautifully rendered, the only thing I think I would change would be to maybe add a little white fur around the eye the way a tiger has got, I think it would give the eye even more emphasis. Keep up the great work!

Brilliant! I love it, ewm! The eye is so neat. I wear contacts and I've always wanted those ones that are like cat eyes because they're awesome. Haven't done it yet, though. *sigh* Ah well. This is an awesome piece!
