Here are a few digital representations of myself...
First two images are Photoshop/Illustrator combos.
These were done in Illustrator. The body I did for a project but then I used the head to create what I call "memoticons" for my blog

Do you all have any idea where i found this thread? Do you? The second page!! My oh my......I mean.....uhhhhh, anyway yeah. This isn't really done yet but I gotta revive this thread!
UPDATE: Yeah, I just updated the pic. I think it looks better, and I'm done for now, even though some areas are obviously sketchy/notgood.

I WILL KICK ASS THREAD FOR YOU hehe
IMPOPULAR will become popular
Nice to see some who continue improve selfpotraits here
P-rik, thank for your comments. I�m also enjoying of your speedpaintings and I hope you post more selfpotraits here
Exclamation, I cannt give some exclamations for you works but those are cute :D It would be cool to make own icons for MSN smiles though its too small resolution.
Mega Muffin, it looks like you continue draw same potraits at BW again and again. I can give you some tips. Think of a head like as the block of stone and you need only be careful, think more, see more and work with less strokes. Try use bigger brushes. You look so frustrated to get not right painting. You nailed me with the expression.
Omi-kun, What a cute boy! Like as Dragonball Z little guy :D very good drawing, I see. No depression now? Otherwise this potrait will remove you from any depression :)
Kalakal, Artrage app? I forgot this and must try this again
I feel myself that Im doing repeated strokes. So I need more time working on potraits. One week for inspection, correcting, as like working seriously with traditional media. No looseness with digital ! Im saying this for myself |

I don't have a new one but...
Tomasis I just have to say I really love this latest one from you! I can't say this with certainty because I don't remember everyone portrait you've posted, but it seems to me like a big improvement! I really like the colors and texture. Anyway, just wanted to give you some kudos. Keep up the excellent work. |

Eheheeh haven't done much lately. I've kinda been back into drawing the last few dayz and here is what I came up with this morning... I keep trying to stay away from the smudge tool, partly because I am working in higher res (art teacher's reccomendation after he tried printing out a few of my other, low-res SPs) and partly because I think it's becoming a bad habbit. So I've done a few, this being the third, but it's the most finished. I started it out wanting just kind of a normal type thing, but this is what it transformed into!! I did artificially modify the contrast/brightness and used some things that can only be done on the computer, but I mean, whatever. BTW, I'm reading IT right now, lol. Maybe IT creeped ITs way in a bit...hehe.

megamuffin, I see you did put a lot time to get right eyes. This is good! but try vary values. not brighest whites or darkest black at large areas at overall. I wanted to do quick overpaint of your pix, but I didnt know how do you look like
norke, very nice especially as first attempt. I suppose you paint other things a lot?
