I think this is filled with many symbols, as a self-portrait is meant to convey...I like the way it turned out...different than a lot of self-portraits. Of course, this is my self portrait, haha...so it would be different - well, now that i've confused everyone!
I love the softness to your self portrait. And the saturation balance with the colors. Very nice!
What really intrigued me the most was the blur effect (if thats what you used). How you blurred out everything else, except your head, but then the top and forehead where blurred out as well. A very different approach, but it works very well. It's appealing to the eye, and the parallel black boarders compliment the piece too.
And I'm sure all the ladies compliment on how handsome you are, lol. Excellent self portrait!
Thanks for the view. And yes. The Gausian Blur effect was used with a heavy "feathered marquee tool". I like it because it gives it a neat filter, for lack of a better term. The movie Swordfish used the same thing with John Travolta in the coffee shop/bank thing. Anyway...and the black border I love because it reminds me of a director cut in films, ya know? widescreen. gotta love it...haha...
and thanks for the - you're awesome!

That is truely a neat way to apply that to your work. And it speaks well with this piece. Keep up the good work. (I like the black border for the same reasons, I actually would like to work with some film someday...just to get a taste of what its like).
When is enough enough... What difference does it make when popular artist vent vent vent and support a site that tolerates deviant behaviour. HA! no wonder its all in a name.

Your Darkest Dreams is a monthly feature devoted to sharing dark photography works from DeviantArt. Often misunderstood as "morbid" or "depressing", Your Darkest Dreams seeks to show this kind of photography in a new way: by showcasing art that is thought provoking, but at the same time unabashedly displays the beauty in darkness.
I can't believe so many artists dedicate their efforts and time to create authentic works of art for us to USE freely! In the world of 3D stocks [ most of it unknown to the photomanipulators ] you can find truly inspiring fantasy and surreal elements that could never be captured by a regular camera. And the best part is that most of them come in a transparent background, so we can simply click and drag onto our work. How fun, fast and easy is that?
A former volunteer with the Artist Relations team, `kuschelirmel has always been a wonderful role model within the community.
With a vibrant and eclectic gallery that would make anyone proud, her dedication to providing informative and easy to follow tutorials, journal CSS, and inspirational stock is clearly long overdue for recognition.
