 I don't know what possessed me to go the self help route....

I would love to say that I knew how to do this technique off the top of my head but I can not. If you would like to make a portrait like this, follow this tutorial.

Oh yes, displacement maps ftw! Great example of how to properly use that tool, and very nice lighting as well. Congrats on the nice finish :)

Jason's advice to schizophrenics is really quite startling. He basically says to listen to the voices. And ... I think he's right. Since I've started listening to the voices I've become much richer and the people who were in my way, well... they've been taken care of. I recommend this book for anyone who uses earbuds or is psychotic.

Well done on the artwork/photo. And I'm all for self-help books (i buy them and never read them). The type seems a bit weak in the book title ... but DON't WORRY about it ;)
