(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Growing up, listening to rock music and dressing differently to others made me eventually become
almost an outcast to other kids my age listening to mainstream "music" and dressing how everybody
else was. I never was able to fit in and even though I did have friends I felt alone. I began to change.
I wore what everyone else did. Listened to what everyone else listened to even though I hated it. In
other words you could say I put on a mask. A mask to hide the person I really am. And as I've grown
older i've come to learn that you will only ever be truly happy is if you are comfortable in your own
skin. This is what inspired this piece. I hope you like it.

Love it buddy, great work.

My only cnc would be the BG, is a little awkward with such a beautiful focal. Maybe next time work some of the manipulation into the BG.

But the manip was awesome. Keep it up!

The concept and end result are extremely nice and it's great manipulation. Just being very picky and providing some constructive criticism though I would made the eyes a tad darker and also the highlight within one of the eyes should be on the other side to make the lighting spot on! Also again the light could be a little darker towards where you have blended the face into the hand (but only around the lip area), the tears or whatever it is dripping from the eye could also be slightly more opaque? Overall though it was a great manipulation just remember tiny little details Smile
