Untitled, Distorted and Green

Looking for depth here but not for proportional accuracy. The distortion is very deliberate. The idea is to draw you into the eyes and force you to recognize something as human while consciously understanding that it absolutely is not. Oil on canvas board. 16"x20"

Interesting concept. Very nice work. I especially love the under lighting on the jaw.

Interesting interpretation. Is this what is called "turning green?" LOL

This is mezmerizing! I really like how you have placed the figure in the space, leaving the "empty" canvas on the left to balance the more detailed darker figure on the right!

Very mezmerizing with the the eyes and face almost like a little porcelain figure only green which is not bad for a color scheme, and not too bright on the eyes
