New Artwork - Urban Dreams
This new piece is based on a picture of my friend Niki. I have always thought she had a very appealing face and thought it would be a good challenge to create something around it. When working with faces in artwork it's very difficult to retain all the beauty that someone contains.
We are naturally drawn to facial symmetry. Studies have shown that the more perfectly aligned and symmetrical a person's face is, the more attractive they appear to other humans. When recreating or editing an image of a person, just the slightest adjustment can throw the entire face off-balance and create a very unflattering counterpart. Before this picture the only female face I had worked with was Jessica Alba. She was very intimidating, not only because I looked her straight in the eyes for hours on end but because every single time I accidentally moved part of her face she would completely lose her beauty.
This continues my effort to urbanize my style for a while. I went on a nature spree for quite a while, and now find myself very drawn towards the feelings of the city. I wanted to show the great connection one can have with a cityscape, no matter how unnatural they may seem. There can be beautiful man-made creations with art seeping out of the alleyways and most unassuming places you can think of.

Well you certainly managed to compliment an already beautiful face. I think she has a very skeptical look on her face, makes me wonder how much faith she had in your ability to pull it off.
