Never heard of Dave Mckean, though you can bet I'll be researching now. I like the celtic feel of it all. I expect the picture to jump to life and tell of a story of a diamond dog like moulin rouge, but perhaps with more pulp. Thank you so much this was an honor. Btw the drab colors work for you. You give them personality with refined features. ^^

People keep asking how was your day? It's like saying, "How was that drive-by shooting?" You don't care how it *was*, you're just happy you got through it. (Angela Chase)

I figured you'd like it. ^.^
And yes, it was terribly creepy to be using the warp tool on my own face and then blacking out the eyes. But It was still kinda fun. I'm quite proud of it!

Dave McKean is a crazy-cracker, but AWESOME artist. He was the creative force behind Mirrormask. And thanks for the compliments! I'm quite proud of my work on this one. I can only hope the third part of the assignment comes out as good.

There was no tutorial. We were given examples of his work in class, and told our homework was to make a self portrait in his style.

Dave McKean is my (art) god and this is done amazingly well. I wish my school cared who Dave McKean was.
:icondirtybutterfly:
It was a fun project. What school do you go to?
