It Never Leaves My Side

Uhhh. I drew this picture, why??? :) I don't feel qualified to critique your work but here it goes.
First Impression: What cool stuff was done to the walls. But, you said it was just your basic PP and you really dont remember. Guess its paint overspray. I didnt recognize the face as I've only been here at DPC for a few months, but its safe to say itll be recognized from here on out.
Composition: The paint cans were genius. even though there isn't much color in them, the little they provide makes an interesting balance to rest of the pic. Good placement. Im a fan of the minimalist type picture and this one has a some of that for me with your position in an almost empty room. you did a nice job of including just a sliver of the ceiling for proportion.
Technical: I dont care for the heavy shadows on the lh side of your face... awwh nevermind. The shadow is a little "monster" looking though so I wonder if a slighly different light positon might have given it a little more shape.
Challenge: Seriously now, you took the "mundane" idea that a shadow always follows you around, added a cool environment and turned it into an interesting picture. IMO thats what makes this pic "cool"(is cool only an 80's expression?).
As always, great job and I personally don't think people vote you up just because you are recognizable. Pretty sure your pictures would garner high scores even with one of ROFLMAO's wood modeling figures :)

P.M. if you have any questions and keep shooting.
