The narcissist by vikdaddy

The narcissist

I was inspired today! For a while I've always wanted to try and process an image to look like it's part of a comic strip, but I'd forgotten all about it. I went to the gym, and during my drive home I suddenly remembered.

Admittedly this is particularly narcissistic of me (hence the title), but I have no excuse and tried to make light of it! It took a long while to edit, as I'm not particularly au fait with Photoshop. I read up on a couple of tutorials but decided to make it my own slightly.

I want a new camera! Do I need one? Of course not. But I really want a micro 4/3 camera, and I'm veering towards the sexy retro-looking white Olympus E-PL2. The great thing about these types of cameras is that they take D-SLR-like quality images and allow you to change lenses, but are compact. They're smaller because the mirrors that allow a D-SLR to reflect the image you see in the viewfinder is removed. I'm sorely tempted, but I shouldn't buy one for a while as I've just ordered Suman's 30th birthday present...

love the comic shot Vik. Nice one. You need to learn more 'i'm ripped humor' My buddies on my college swim team were fond of "do you have a band-aid, because I'm cut!". Always good for a laugh.
