Is it a self-portrait?

Call it self-portrait of loathing if that suits it better.

Haha just checking :D Now that I know it is a self-portrait, it bears more depth :) I like it aesthetically as well anyway!

That reminds me a lot of political cartoons from the 20's or something in terms the caricature... maybe later, I mighth ave my decades mixed up.

Not particularly pleasing to look at, but it's probably one of your better ones.

Yeah.  It wasn't really meant to be pleasing (idol's creepy vibe was more what I was going for), but I do think it's one of my better.  It pretty much came out of the peak of my drawing-spree, so that probably explains why (though half the inking was done yesterday).

I like it. There is a certain sense of hopelessness involved, which I suppose ties in with the loathing you were trying to capture. It's definitley not beautiful in the conventional sense, but neither is that which you are trying to convey. Well done.

Damn, that's really fucking cool.  I don't check out the art board as much as I should.  I like that drawing a lot, Que.  You've definitely got some talent.
