This is a very interesting concept and I actually think your concept alone would make a great assignment all by itself.

I agree with the previous critique that you could've played with the shadows on your skin a bit more. Try looking at some photography or looking in the mirror with some interesting lighting going on. You said in your description that you also wanted to depict a struggle between your inner darkness and I think playing with the shadows could've really helped portray that as well.

I don't personally agree with the previous critique's comments on your features. Afterall, you still want people to recognize that it's you.

I do agree that one of your eyes is larger than the other and while I would normally pass that off as perspective, it would've been the other eye to be larger (the viewer's right).

Overall, I think this is tackling some very personal, deep issues and the attempt to visually tackle and communicating those issues is a brilliant idea. That's why I think this would make a great project for an entire class because it forces introspection (right word there?).

Overall, a very beautiful image and I *love* the relation to the soul and identity. Great work, Keith.
