Well done, its pretty clear your form is very great

Must have been a real pain making this, must have taken a fair amount of time as well.

Wow! I was very pleasantly surprised to see that this wasn't charcoal (as it looks from far away) but words! Amazing job!

I've looked at this image several times. And I still can't understand how on earth did you manage to look it like it's traditional art. The simple black lines manage to create a very realistic image and I think the text forming the glasses is what gives this the extra twist that's needed. Well done

Actually, it's all text. Probably hard to see it since it's so small, but i needed to fit in the ID box. We got penalized for using any lines, not that i did, i got a 90% on this.


Anyway, thanks.

Shameless typography whore.

I like this a lot. I liked it before I realized it was text, and now I like it all that much more.

Well I finally got round to commenting on this. It's been in my devMessages for a long time!

This looks really good man. It's a tad depressing to me because it reminds me of a Nirvana song by the same name. Either way... I love how it's all words, yet looks like a drawing. If I only looked once, I may not have even noticed.

Simple analysis but what ever. Peace.

Very cool design. I always love self portraits. I like the words above your eyes Very cool concept.

I like it a lot. Different from your normal stuff. That's what makes it interesting. It really looks like it is drawn with pencil or charcoal. Amazing.. what digital effects can do. I really need to learn how to do stuff like this.

No digital effects, it's aaalllll text, you could probably even do it with mspaint.


Thanks!
