This self portrait was inspired by Rembrandt's Nighwatch. I had a helmet, breastplate, white ruff collar and a Rembrandt light setup, but the result didn't feel like me. So I replaced the helmet with hair and a lot of hairspray, changed the white collar for a purple one, added some color around the eyes and adjusted the lights to better fit the mood I was after.
Sometimes what you set out to do isn't what you really wanna do :o)
Love it!
Thanks Greg!
I really like this. The purple around your eyes really works with the collar. And the hair is great. Well done.
Have Fun,
Jeff
Thanks Jeff!
The color around the eyes was the final puzzle piece that brought it all together.
Fantastic! Love the hair - so jealous.
