Description

***UPDATE (9/19/2012): The portrait is now updated in better quality and cropping.

My Self Portrait from my Spring Semester of Freshman year in college.

Apologies for not remembering the actual specific dating of my portrait but I think it's worth mentioning that this is my first submission on deviantart.

The portrait is meant to be inspired by Rembrandt, thanks to his views on extreme tenebrism. You can see that it's kind of like the same posture as the artist...which I have the link below.

Anyway, it has been a while since I have done self-portraits (I'm guessing it has been a year?). I must say, though, my mind echoes the words: "Damn I'm good" and I eventually grew to accept that this portrait is "good". I still have yet to retouch this portrait (for example, the background still needs to be a bit more dark) but so far, I am going to keep this as just "good".

I like the dark brooding quality of this piece - especially with regards a portrait where it hints at depths beneath the facial expression.
