 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!

Believe me or not, this was my first idea, but didn't have the chance to take the shot. Great job sir, I immediately recognized you :)

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.

Great finish Chris I thought it was you.
Who else would wear a fancy necklace in 1889. :)

They had t-shirts in 1889 :)

One of my favorites - the different textures work well. The expression is a little chilling.

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.

You actually look like van Gogh here!!
Although his self portrait was more based upon emotions (he felt at that moment) than upon real resemblance.

Fantastically done. I especially like that in 1889 you would be wearing a tshirt :)

Hey Vincent...you are looking younger every time I see you.
How's your ear?

As crazy as the original? ;) It certainly has the right look & feel
