I know a lot of people didn't want me to colour this, but honestly I don't give a shit. It's a self-protrait, I can do whatever I want to it. Hell, I can even burn it now, if I want to. :)

I *love* it. I love the shading in the blues, and I love the striking red to the right. I love the contrast between the soft, flowing cool colors, and then the harsh red lines. And the shading on your face is just *specatacular*.

And hell, even if you did burn it--at least I could say that you shared it, and I saw it, and appreciated it. That's important to me.

I knew that even colored, it'd still look spectacular!

:( Don't burn it! I'll buy it, seriously.

It was stunning in black and white. And it's even more stunning coloured. I am still utterly in love with it.

I actually really like the coloured version (although I also liked the original). But the shades of blue you used really stand out - awesome job!

Me too.

The blues are great, I like the way the snail had a shadow snail on it. Its not entirely in the same style is there any reason for that?

I think it's fabulous. I think it is an amazing self-portrait that can really give people a sense of who you are in one shot. This accomplishes what words can't.

The colour definitely makes a difference. I liked the b&w but I love it coloured.

I think it looks like you are breaking free of a web. Slow, maybe, persistently, definitely. Despite energy pushing and pulling at you.

You're beautiful.

While the whole image seems to just... suit so much of what you've written, I continue to be head over heels for the snails. ^_^; But perhaps I'm silly.

I think it's gorgeous in colour and I love the vivid blues. It's one of my favourites now, I think.

Well I really like the coloured version. I think it gives it a life that the b&w didn't necessarily have. I love it :)
