I was in a terrible mood last night, and this has come of it. As I was doing my artwork, my mood began to splay out a bit. I stayed up to all hours getting this one done, and I just finished it today. Funny, similar to Cricket's piece http://cricketwings.deviantart.com/art/Nefertum-67003032 this is also a very personal piece, so please, no criticism.

This piece is a self portrait of sorts that is about the lesson I learned this summer while out in the woods for a month. I think it captures my mood a lot. I had fun with it.

Part of what's cool with this one is that my skill is expanding. I not only used filters and overlap and eraser to make the images fit, I used the pen tool (thanks Cricket), the brush, dodge, burn and other stuff to make it fit the mood.
