Day 23 of 30 day self portrait. Back to my creepy angst ridden roots ya'll. ;) This is inspired by Life and a Blue october song again. "razorblade" It's about sexual abuse and the main message is letting go and being proud of that. Well, I myself would prefer this route. I'm not much for forgive and forget I guess.

I'll put it the Nude gallery so kids don't have to see it. Why dont we just hide EVERY picture? the thumbnail can give a brief written description of the photo or keywords. lol I'm half joking. ;P

What an amazing shot. I don't know how you managed to get such perfect lighting with a self-portrait. I'm to scared to even try setting up photos of myself.

Heh. I just looked at Elvis' censorship self-portrait, so I assumed this is his shot of you after you hacked at his tongue.

You definitely have a way with the dark pictures, both emotionally dark and visually dark.

This is brilliant. And I agree Crystal...we may as well hide every image before they censor it for us. LOL!!

An excellent piece of work. This is really great and your use of colour adds a lot of life to the image. Well done!

Yeah, your shot rocks! This is the kind of photos I would like to see here at DPC more often. Great use of reds to create hightlights. Love the lighting from the left. So much drama in here! Your facial expression is great. More like this!

Your hubby said it would rock and it most certainly does. One of your best so far in my book. Awesome job, young lady!

That is sooooo gothic, Dracula-esque! Really well executed (no pun intended LOL) Would make a cool poster for Halloween!

No smartass comments from me today! You look too mean to mess with LOL

You've done an interesting job with the lighting and red coloration, and I like that you only used a LITTLE bit of red in your eyes (instead of simply flooding them like pure evil).

Reading your message reminds me of a display case here on campus, where sexual assault victims have displayed their angst-ridden letters. (No, the offenses did not occur here... this campus is too tiny for much crime!)

You could always post that on your front door to keep the criminals away!!!

OUCH...violent, but very well done. The reds have it.

Yowsa! lol Violent content warning! hehe Very dark and foreboding.

Generally not a fun of violent themes, but I think this one is well done. I like how the knife is hiding your lips.
