Brain Surgery

It's a self portrait! The original version had me frowning, but it creeped me out even more than this does.

It's called "Brain Surgery" because I'm horrid at actually fitting things on the canvas I'm using. (See "Where's The Foot?"). So the top of my head's lopped off, which reminds me of brain surgery.

Maybe I'll come up with something better later on, but it's 3:45 am and I've been working on this thing since around 7 pm yesterday. If you can think of something better, please let me know.

This is... about 20 hours' worth of work over a week.

For the last six hours, I had my eyes painted in, and they were staring at me.

Likes:
Eyes, especially the right one
Bangs
Lips, sort of
Nose, sort of (I spent at least an hour on it alone.)

Dislikes:
Left side of the face
Shadow on the left eye
Nose - something about it is bugging me
Shirt - It's pretty much BS'ed.
Chin & Neck

I might touch it up a bit. Maybe.
