member since: 3/16/2004 Have meant to try this and never have, Steven, but your work here is fascinating and arresting. The man of the woods, with a commanding look, telling us to take care with our world, perhaps. Very nice work for the self-portrait theme.

  I love what you've done here. The texture and shading are wonderful... and the expression spot on. Very intriguing. A winner in my book.

  Nicely done Steven. The texture wrap is superb, and the low key works perfectly.
