Second Entry for the "Good vs Evil: Bring Your Vision to Life" contest.

First found here -> [link]

I've been wanting to use geometry combined with a "realistic" image for some time now and this was the perfect opportunity and I'm happy with the result. Don't know if I could have pushed the textures in it further but I didn't want to go too crazy and overwhelm it.

Took far less time than my first entry though I didn't time it as well as the other.
Kept this one quite loose and only refined the details on a few bits, namely the figure on the rights features.

I like the contrasts in this one and they probably sum up the theme better than my previous entry (though the point of that one was to blur the boundaries and make you think).

Any feedback you can give would be great.

Excellent self portrait.Good composition and contrast. Geometric designs go well with it. Figure on left has more depth to it and I like it a bit better. The rectangular shape gives the impression of a mirror image but the light and shade oppose this.
:iconalexikaine:
As is often the case the left figure works and yet is the least worked (or maybe because of it). I think maybe the lighting on the right side "washes out" the details of the face and reduce it's depth: another contrast to add to the pic I suppose =D
I'm still really pleased with how the geometric designs work ^-^

If anyhting I'd feel tempted to soften the right figures lip line 'slightly' very very slightly. but girl your work is getting better and better. If you do ever make a print of this please can I have a copy?

Thanks for the tip about the lips. Been thinking about getting a decent A3 printer sometime soon so that print could happen.
