self portrait

egypturnashAn element for a ground-up redesign of my own website - this is in the background of pages of thumbnails. Thus, the color scheme was mostly already defined; the yellow-green and red are part of the overall look of the site.
It almost looks like me for a change.
The beziér curves and control points are not a screenshot; they're complete fakery. The 'rasterize' effect came in handy here, especially as part of a few appearance styles.
(Alternate URL if the one above is being balky. The original one may work now, too. Lesson: avoid ' in filenames.)

Date: 2004-09-02 10:02 am (UTC)In fact I just realized that I think the one I drew is impossible: since the string's a closed loop, wouldn't there always be an even number of strands going between the hands> And here I have five lines in the space there. I love it when I get away with things like that.

Date: 2004-09-02 09:41 am (UTC)The cat's cradle is supposed to read as a blown-up screenshot of curves being edited in Illustrator - it's a somewhat self-indulgent bit of humor. Hello, I am Peggy, and I just loooove Illustrator.
I've been drawing myself a lot recently, roughs and finals. I think it's because I like myself a lot more now.

Thanks for the explanation on the cat's cradle. I really didn't get it as being AI at all, it looked more to me like you were making reference to older graphics, and your liking for those as you mentioned a while back in LJ. But I really like the rest of the piece. It's so soft and smooth, but not in the usual AI kinda way.
Glad to hear that the journey of self is going well for you, too! It shows, if nowhere else, in the expression of your portrait.

Date: 2004-09-02 09:10 am (UTC)But, I must agree with Kamenkyote: Something about the "faux-vector thingies" just doesn't jive. Perhaps making the lines narrower? Ever-so-slightly darker?
It's still very cool, imo.
