Description Picked up the tablet again today for a while! I like working in this extreme contrast style; it's sort of easy to do ^_^;

I'm extremely happy with this final product. It looks pretty much exactly like me.

Cool cool. With the amount of shadow around the eyes, did you try blacking out the whites too? It might look interesting.

Hahaha, how could I not try that? It looks supremely creepier! Thanks for the comment

I wish you could edit comments, because I almost always forget something. Anyway, how exactly did you do this? Were you tracing a photo, or was it freehand?

Thanks so much ^^ I did it in a few steps- I did a quick line sketch on top of a photo, then did a quick tone sketch on top of that, then (painstakingly) cleaned up the shapes one by one, all in Photoshop CS2 via Wacom. I had a few sittings, est'd about 4 hours or so.

Haha, that looks awesome. It also looks like you're 28.

Nice portrait!.
You kinda look like you could be the villain in "Psycho".
