Description
This is my first project for my intro to architecture course... I know what you're thinking..this has nothing to do with architecture!!!And you are right! lol
The project was to make a visual representation of ourselves to present to the class. It was also supposed to show some intuition about expectations for the course (hence the cathedral in the background).
The image describes my inner commentary and how it is expressed in the many layers of who I percieve myself to be.
The project was mostly about being able to present and communicate a message, since a huge part of architecture is pitching your idea! Your Idea could be really great, but if you can't sell it, it will go to waste!
Also, there was lettering at the top, but that was just there as project requirement, so I removed that in Photoshop
Would have liked to have not rushed this so much, but deadlines are deadlines.

You're absolutely WRONG...this has EVERYTHING to do with architecture...the architecture of the MIND!
Art, comcis, ancient history...you were DESTINED for Dino-Girls! It has all THREE!!
Actually, so does Hawkman and Hawkwoman...er Hawkgirl..there are only a few comic characters that explore ancient history...you may have a niche.

A ton of interesting linework to look at, here (if it'd been me drawing that head, I would have lost patience with texturing the hair like you did--kudos, man!).
And, it may be weird to say, but you drew all of the teeth really, really well. The mouth on the forehead adds to the image.
I like how the text might slide into the brain like a patron at a fun park, or like M&M's from a plastic candy cane at Christmastime. These associations may not be what you intended, but it's fun to think about.
I should mention that I like this image a lot.
