A recent rework of an older piece for a fan. I've considered off and on creating a series of mug shots using popular childrens story characters... not sure yet if it would keep my interest though.

Anyway... "Hard Times in Neverland. Tinkerbell's Adventures in Reno."

Hey, I'm from Reno too(well, originally). I think you're the first 775'er I've seen on here. I like the "Empress" piece on your site.

Seriously, nice job. Tink always was a troublemaker....

Thanks everyone. I've got a friend who wants to model for one of the mug shots so it looks like another may be in the works shortly. I have no idea what character I'm going to parody..... a male this time, any ideas.

Requiem - Saw your post in the zombie thread. Thanks ! I visited your site. I really like the self portraits. One of the recent ones, ( all black, with you screaming in the corner) is very cool !

merlyns - I agree the lips are a little big. Originally I was attempting to make them look puffy, suggesting, along with the black eye, that she fought like mad when they arrested her, but, alas, it didn't work.

Requiem: Uh..... Rrriiight ...... No problem. Smile

Lunayasha: Not sure what you mean about the smudge tool in PS. I've used it before... not that impressed with it (meaning the smudge tool of course, not PS in general.) Perhaps I'm not using it correctly.

requiem-on-acid · Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2003 3:30 am

hahahahaha I once used smudge tool, and people on this forum told me to put my hand in a pile of scorpions

I guess using smudge tool is a major sin over here

I love your work Matthew

(Sorry for thinking you was a girl, I dont know virgil sounds girlish to me)

Finally I found some people from Reno. It's a rare thing like that, which compels me to post. I was born and lived there for a good part of my life. Anyway your picture is great. I think the lips are perfect and it makes for a good facial expression.
