This is a scanned imaged of myself for my art project on expressive figures and faces. I have tried to express energy in the floating hair whist coving my face with a mask.
I like it a lot - the only problem with using flatbeds like this is burning out detail on pressed on surfaces - i.e. your hands. it may look better if you take a quick digi shot of the hands in similar poses and partially composite them in to reintroduce (a little) detail.
I like this one a lot! The 'creepy' aspect draws you in for the fact that it isnt what you expect, you cant see the face and yet as a whole its so expressive and interesting. Great job!
