A self-portrait of sorts :P I wanted to do something on canvas after a long while. Done almost entirely with palette knives.

It looks nicer IRL because the texture and color show better. The incredible amount of layers is also why the paint is still wet, and the lighting sucks, so a better photo is hopefully coming up later.

oh god, the texture is probably so amazing to touch, it certainly looks amazing. Very interesting composition as well. The palette knives give an awesome effect.

excellent range of light and dark. It seems almost monochromatic. Bold and beautiful.
