Description

I feel like... this is really me... more so than any self portrait I've done thus far in my life. And it's not as simple as "it looks like me". In some ways it does, and some ways it doesn't.

I don't think I could ever explain in words. Maybe I'll try some day.

For those curious as to how I put this image together, I took two photos---one of a busy street through a car window on a rainy day, the other of myself (and the cat XD).

I used the photo of me to draw myself. I added some simple gray tones under that, lowering the translucency so as to see the image underneath. I put all that over the the other photo. Between those two, I added the shiny thingies. And... that's it. Didn't take me that long, but I like it very much.

If I could live in that moment forever...

EDIT 3/31/09: Changed the colors and brightened a bit. Hopefully it's easier to see now... and it matches my new journal CSS. :3

Very nice, it reminds me of perhaps a younger version of my aunt. Shes a cat lover!
