Totem

Yep, I fell for the disease, I think you should too,

for [link] <-- totem pole project. Yes.. I am hopeing to win that subscription but Im submitting early, wich meens someone will mow my lawn like a thicket of dead leaves.

Yes, the rules state not to be wider then 79 pixels, but further down in the comments someone asks a question reguarding width, the reply made me at least think that this is ok, as the top and bottom of the totem remain the set 79 pixels. If they dont accept it, Ill just have to deal.

Time taken? Longer then intended, It was almost done last night (2 hours), then I realized... I had only used the colors on the totem base, and not the pallet provided below, so I had to go back and add the colors I missed wich drastically helped with the lighting. Believe it or not, this started as an angel.. it ended up a dryad. Go figure.

Its also a self portrait, Im shy, and often depressed, People think Im pretty, but all my life Ive lived as the ugly duckling, Nude because of societys expetations that my personal life needent be private, and the eye, signifying the publics ever watchful eyes on everything I do. I love this piece.
