This is, I think, the weirdest thing I've ever done lol. I got this idea from the Wacom Good vs. Evil contest but I was too late to enter, it doesn't matter, I wouldn't have won anyway. But I still really liked the idea I had and wanted to challenge myself to actually do it. This was made entirely in Photoshop with my tablet. I had no references apart from a photo I took of myself with my webcam (webcam=shitty photo) to get the shape of my face, eyes, nose, and mouth right. Everything else was done by hand myself.

And ya that's supposed to be me. It's supposed to be somewhat of a representation of the mental demons we all possess (some more than others) and must grapple with on a regular basis. The good and bad thoughts intermingling and fighting against each other. The primal, savage nature inherent in our subconscious versus the social compassion and reasonable humanity that tries to suppress it. Dealing with a mental illness can sometimes feel like this. I always tell people “If you lived in my head you’d go crazy” lol. So I guess this is a little visual look inside my mind.

I think I'm starting to get a little more used to CG and Photoshop. And once again this was all done from me teaching myself through trial and error. Please full view cause there's a lot to look at and a lot of detail. I'm pretty pleased with the end result. I'm really impressed with the flower. I usually suck at drawing things like scenery, animals, furniture, etc. Which is why my drawings almost never have a background lol. I got the colourful swirls from a Photoshop disc with some cool brushes my boyfriend got me. I'd love some feedback for this.
