I can't wait to actually start painting! won't be long now....
(post-challenge)
this was a last minute entry, i figured it'd get around a 4.5! i tried to emulate the idea and feeling that van gogh had in his famous self-portrait, and used several different masks to create different brush sizes of the oilpaint filter, just like the original.
thanks for all the great comments and votes, it's a pleasure to get this high up in such a challenge!

Very well done, Chris! Helps too that you do have a bit of van Gogh about you. Do you actually have bi-coloured eyes or did you change the colour in one for effect?
That's a result of dodging and burning too late at night. ;)
Yeah, you gotta watch that d&b after midnight! Still makes for a very cool image.

Reminds me of some Tretchikoff work! Great challenge fit! The PS paint filter is noticeable yet, unlike other entries where it has really been smashed, the effect, not too mention the basic colours are complimentary. I'm not sure a blue T was available in 1889 though :) Top Marks. Looking forward to your technique.
This has a Grant Wood look to it (Man & Woman with pitchfork).
Great texture as well.
I'm going to take a guess and say this is Chris (Mrchhas).
Either way you did a great job on this. Well done.
