Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 50mm F1.8 Nikkor + IR remote + 2 second timer so I could use both hands. Dark brown fabric hung in the background with tape. 88 shots to get the composition right. Black eye liner to draw the eyes and smile. It's been awhile since I last drew on myself for a photo; I forgot how hard drawing on uneven surfaces with my non-dominant hand was :lol: GIMP for post editing. Grunge detail extraction protocol. More curves to tweak contrast and colors.

Additional Comments
Redoing a really old concept. Interpret as you wish.
