Description "We are each our own devil, and we make this world our own personal hell"

AHAH! It is done !! Started this...2 weeks ago maybe? Anyhow, I wanted to experiment with combining different mediums. The very first layer (aka background) is simply a mix of watered down acrylics and watercolor thrown onto a sheet of sketchbook paper xD The next layer (the black fur) was done with solid black acrylic paint on printer paper with the fur effect done with white colored pencil. The third and final layer (skull) was hand drawn and inked with pen and then colored in using a teabag. After all of the layers were placed to my satisfaction, I took a picture and edited it using Adobe Photoshop Elements

I could not be happier with the results!!This originally started off as a random doodle/vent art/experiment/ character creation (still need a name for the guy) and was later used for an assignment in my printmaking/art class ^^ LOVE how it turned out!! There are a few flaws with the skull itself, but aside from that I am pleased Lemmy know what you guys think!!

To me it literally looks like a paper skull laid over the face of a wolf
