A bit of Progress

I did promise in my last post that I would post the work on my self portrait today, and I was about ready to get in bed (lame I know, but waking up at 3 AM everyday of the week begins to catch up with me by Fridays, so lame I will be) but a promise is a promise, right?

So, without further ado, my (less than fantastic, but proof I haven't died and really am working on stuff)
self portrait

The general idea is that my head is swinging open on a hinge from my silhouette, but somehow I can't get it to look right. (in this particular image, I haven't quite finished the side of my face/ mask bit, but progress continues. So if anyone has any ideas on how I can make this suck less, I would really greatly appreciate it. Feel free to leave comments to your hearts content, and they can even be critical as long as you back it up. A simple, "This sucks!" Is not very helpful for anyone involved.

Also, if anyone knows anything about bad RAM on macs and how deadly that is to my computer, I would love to know what to do about it as my poor computer has started making these really terrible alarming beeps.

Anyway, enjoy life, live, love, be happy :) and don't die
