Here is my final project for my Facial Expression class. I wanted a subtle mix of joy and curiosity. Dito, the character depicted in this image, is from my in-progress comic book, PERPENDICULAR. He is a mute young man who has found a clear interest in butterflies for their renewing characteristics. He thinks that the caterpillar's transformation into a butterfly, something grotesque turning into something beautiful, is something that all humans need to go through before reaching enlightenment. So I drew him with a bunch of butterflies in his hair. Originally I wanted this to be a picture of him with his hair kind of pixellating into butterflies, but when I couldn't get the effect right, this happened. The painting of Dito himself was rendered entirely in Corel Painter X, save for a preliminary, traditional sketch. On the other hand, the rollover image came as an afterthought. I wanted to prove that I could draw the human skull with no reference, and evidently I drew Dito's face too long. Poo. Anyhow, the skull was rendered in PS and colored in Corel Painter X. The flash animation was created in FLASH. Roll your mouse over it to see the skull, sillyheads. I had a lot of fun with this image and I hope you all love it as much as I do.

The shape of the ends of his hair remind me of the tail of a treble clef and I find that awesome
The rollover image is really neat too; I ended up rolling my cursor over it a few times intrigued by the transition haha; love how you've used desaturated colours and a moth(?) for the second image, so I perceive this piece to be something of a transition/connection between life/living and death/decay
just my thoughts haha; awesome work! ;u;
