This is my entry for the Art Explosion contest hosted by @juliakponsford. The theme this week is vicious which for me immediately conveys images of violence and anger. I didn't really know how to approach the theme. I was messing around with some phone editing apps and some art happened spontaneously. It's really quite cool how many different ways you can rearrange a photo with just a few taps.
The Entry
The Process
I used this metal selfie from when we were having a time on one of @crimsonclad's Full Force Thurday radio shows. It's probably the most vicious looking photo of me I had that I could try using. I first put it through a filter on Prisma and then take it over to Mirror Lab to experiment more.
I used Mirror Lab to come up with these images.
I then take them over to the laptop and lay them on top of each other with different transparencies. While doing this I noticed this dragon-deer-assassin forming in the middle and used a combination of pen and brush tools to highlight this form.
I then use some royalty free images of blood splatters as a background and finish the art by equipping my vicious creature with some knives.
An early iteration of the art.

Wow!! nice work. I am also participating I invite you to go through my Post
Thanks for dropping by. Your entry is really good!
This is awesome thanks for the entry!
Thank you. Always a pleasure being a part of Art Explosion.
This is pretty cool. The first thing I saw was the skull at the top. Then it was the eyes of a man. Everything brought together is a great piece. Awesome job!
Thank you. It was pretty cool how all those images just happened naturally. The skull kinda happened as an afterthought after I noticed the blood looked like eyes which aligned with the bottom of the horns. Phone apps are also pretty neat, anyone can be an artist. I didn't expect this to come out like this, but it sort of fell together.
That's cool. You have a good eye.
Like your style very much. Nice job.
Thank you. I think my style keeps evolving as I work with different media. Glad you like it.
