Haha, I think if you look closely, it's where it's supposed to be, only hidden in the dark. I can just make out the lines for fingers, clenched into a fist...I THINK.

Simply fantastic. I love how you handled the skin tones with such aggressive brush strokes of color

Love the colours and the blotchy painting.
Once I listened to somebody say that portraits are the most serious work of the artist. I somewhat agree; what could be more important statement than a painting by yourself about yourself? It's the maximum possible concentration of vanity and self love.

You make me jelous. Maybe i should just draw a bunch of self portrait. It makes me feel like all i think of is myself, but they're so fun to draw ;__;
I need to get painting.

The textures of this are so gorgeous, as are the blends of colour. This portrayal has a lot of personality, if not enthusiasm.

visionsofJellyfish [2009-01-23 01:08:31 +0000 UTC]

i hate self-portraits too. especially when people do them of themselves where their face is dead center frontal with no expression whatsoever. you however have a very expressive painterly application of the oil and picked a great pose. and i am so thrilled to find something that was done in the physical world and not photoshoped! doesn't anybody do any real art anymore?!? ... sorry i'm ranting but i love the emotive quality of your piece - you're a very skilled painter.
