Self Portrait

Ok This isnt technically a painting, I’ll explain the process, It is intially a photograph of me!!! changed in photoshop by adjusting the curves, and painting over the image kinda like rotoscoping. I did however paint in the make-up and the metal bits and the goggles,oh and the eyebrows!!! and little bits of the beard! anyway It has had alot of changes with filters and colour adjustments. Its my new pic… I think I like it, thats me peeps, well an apocalyptic version anyway…hmm…nerd..hmm

pps a few ppl have asked me that I should do a whole show like this, and I am seriously considering it, however I would like to exhibit the girls first… oh and hopefully it will be in singapore, but dont quote me on that!!! Ive gotta finish more girls first, anyway Im rambling! blah yeh meh lah

    Cheers Ram, yeh I find this process quite interesting too, just sort of stumbled across it really, I used to do some photo retouching so I knew how to improve a photograph, and I had been experimenting with photoshop for some time now, I have finished another one, but its a little different I’ll put it up soon! (but my wacom tablet is broke sooo…)
