Hello Kitty

So i was messing with this custom 'raised look' oil paint preset. Desperately trying to make it look not at all like what you see here. So i finally gave up in disgust and moved on.

So then today i looked at it again, and kind of liked it's Japanese quality (for lack of a better way to put it). I then spent a lot of time mucking with a self modulated interactive warp in multiple steps to get it to this final place.

Now how can you apply this to your life. Here's an art strategy. Try to follow where Studio Artist is taking you. As opposed to trying to bend it to your will. You may end up in a totally unexpected place. And that's a good thing.
