Disgusting Me

Thoughts

Similarly to 'Specimen', I feel uncomfortable looking at this. For a while, this was all I could see in the mirror because I was so repulsed by my own reflection that I made a face of disgust. Now, I only look like this when I accidentally catch myself on my switch screen or with the front-facing camera on! I spent a long time trying to render a close likeness, but I think the imperfections are what make it better. The features being slightly wrong (eg. weirdly bulging eyebrow) make the impression more disarming and add to its effect. I tried experimenting with a more loose, impressionistic background and I'm still unsure if it was successful.
