It's too dark. All you can see is a dark face.

Very nice work. Good blending. (And IMO, you're not ugly as you said in your SBS)

nice entry author..it would be more cool if you can add some depths in to the cracks

Made cracks appear deeper.
Darkened mask to match face a little more
Not making it any lighter though...

Well I hope you get better, Becca.
I believe it would look more interesting to have only half of your face corrupted. Use some texture like this (http://www.sxc.hu/photo/1186892) instead of tree bark & fill the background with 2 gradients of oppossing colour, red/ black, blue/ white, you get the idea. This would bring out the duality that is present in every human.

got to love this one

Hey Chappy... may I smooch you into next xmas LOL... thanks for all your support

Super...

Awesome interpretation of source image!! Very Creative results. Best of Luck to you

Love this!! Really needed a chuckle this morning. Great work! GL

Very sloppy in high res...

Fantastic work...facial expression is fabulous...good luck author

CMYK.. no it isn't... but nice try.. (it's called a smudge tool for a reason genius (your moniker not mine) You really should try producing some of your own work.. it would be a big help in the commenting area.. but then hunting down sources is such hard work isn't it?

You really need to stop making things up.. it's getting a bit.. well obvious your just searching for wrong things just to have something useless to say on entries where you dislike the author... just the truth man.. you really need to be placed and I'm the only one not afraid to do it .. smooch

oh lord here we go again.............. author and cmyk I'm going to bang your heads together .. the work isn't sloppy.. it is kinda cartoony but not sloppy.. gl author

Was talking about hard edged bands at top & bottom of body that are obvious in high res, and need blending. The smudge work is fine. No need to flip out.

BWHAAA HAAA HAAA... genius LOL,, Print version is just fine, and Now I'm going to keep them because they are endearing now

It's better be careful, it looks angry! Can get confused between finger and worm... ;D
