Hey, this is James Sivonen. This is my completed self-portrait project. As you can probably see, this happens to be my face photoshopped onto the body of a knight on a horse. I chose this because I am a complete medieval-geek, and I thought this represents that side of me. As far as my expression in this image, I chose an intense stare that I thought would be befitting of the knight's pose (and a bit humorious). Aside from cutting out my face from another image of me, resizing and positioning it, I brought in a couple other elements. I used the burn tool to make my face blend with the painting , the eraser tool to shred the edges, and the blur tool for finishing touches.
