Self-Portrait Illustration

A new design I made to represent myself with. with exaggerated facial features (as if my facial features are not exaggerated in nature already) and visual styles and themes I'm fascinated about and I see them as elemental aspects of my character and my art and writing.
Big, hairy, semi defined eyebrows, long eyelashes, big forehead and jaw, forehead veins, dark wrinkled unhealthy areas around my eyes, big nose.

All of these facial aspects are there. Also added hints to certain visuals I'm a bit obsessed with, Gothic character designs with the dark eye circles and pale skin that never knew the sun (but with a twist for I'm with brightened brown skin). My Egyptian and Arabic ancestry. My fascination with folklore arts and ornaments and visuals. My love of Fantasy. My obsession with the Norse and Semitic cultures.

All of that I tried to reference in this art.
