“Self-portraits are something I learned to dread at a young age.
Even the simple request to "represent" who I was as a person through art, not even a direct portrait, was a task I avoided.
My first attempt below was the best I could do—a cumulation of the sinking, sticky void that was my sense of self, or rather lack thereof.
The second attempt was aimed at something more objective—a character designed through the same process I use for many of my OC's and DnD characters, illustrated to try and capture the essence of the core traits and features, and something I could truly see myself in one day.”
This client has given me permission to share their portraits with you.
