F. Nietzsche gazes into you




I couldn't ink it so I pixelled it!

Steps and such at Pixelation.

well, i think it's completely natural that you couldn't ink it, but you could pixel it. Nietzsche wasn't a mind of his era. He was a mind of the future eras.
I think that the abyss is totally impressed. You created "Nietzsche's self-portrait" as it should be. Your free will (your urge to ink it) was totally collapsed by determinism, which never makes mistakes.

JesusGun, I'm glad you liked it :)

Griffith, if I put distance on the top value then the top value becomes less red (as the only way to go up from it is by lessening its saturation) and I didn't want to do that.

"composing it with jagged polygons was a good idea--and executed well. i might have taken it a step further and angularized the hair and mustache (specifically those gray streaks on his hairline).."

I didn't do that to retain at least some semblance of subtlety.

I didn't know why I put in the blue highlights but your explanation tickles me :)
