My commentary is needed (people noting me) so here it is: I am tired of plain and predictable beauty and I think there are less than few things beautiful about me, I do have a creepy gaze and lots of dark thoughts on my mind. I think this self portrait expresses just how I feel today.

This is an interesting picture especially after reading the artist's statement. i like the use of minimal colours except for the face and background. Why is the background red and is it related to the splatters on the shoulder? Red is often associated with anger and blood, so just how dark are those inner thoughts.

I really like that facial expression, it is so very human. It looks relaxed, almost smiling but the eyes aren't smiling. For me the look has more of a "you've attracted my attention. You really shouldn't have done that and you really don't want to know what I'm thinking about."

For someone trying to show a darker side this is very well done. So sweet, so innocent, so predatory!

This is great. The artist has developed a unique style of her own, and I like it.

The hair that covers half of her face adds together with the secretive eyes to a light and mysterious atmosphere. Well done.

The colours are bold and greatly used. However, I find them too bold right under her nose and around the mouth. The bluish colours draw attention to them and makes her look unhealthy and ill. But still that's my oppinion, and they do somehow still blend in in this piece.

The anatomy is great, and I especially love the curve of her back and the eyes. The smiling eyes are drawn so they look directly at one, and I love it when that succeeds, well done ^^

I don't have a scanner, I always photograph my paintings, I am convinced that a good camera produces much better image of what the painting looks like in real than any scanner.
