Digital painting: a self-portrait -- something of a Chuck Close Experiment


Click image to enlarge

This is something of a Chuck Close experiment in painting. The portrait on the left is composed entirely of hundreds of mini-mes, colored and shaded differently. The portrait on the right is the portrait on the left, drastically shrunken and softened. Below is the photo I used for a starting point. I blew this picture up and replaced blocks of pixels with the shaded "mini-me" images.
