It's a manga-style self-portrait, inspired by Hiromu Arakawa's self-portrait.

My self portrait is modelled on a fennec fox, a small desert-dwelling species of fox that has really big ears. (They really exist.) I drew it in pencil, based on a previous fennec fox sketch, inked the lines I wanted to keep in pigment pen, scanned it to my computer and coloured it using microsoft paint. This is one quarter of the original self-portait's size. Real fennec foxes don't have such long tails, or wear glasses.

Come to think of it, it really isn't much like Hiromu Arakawa's self portrait. But her self portrait was the first I've seen which looked unlike the subject, but was still very awesome.

I like your avatar! Simple, balanced, and recognizable without effort. Well done!

I have yet to watch Van Hellsing. Probably end up not watching it.

Thankyou for complimenting my art! ^_^ (Their resemblance is uncanny.)

I think I endured 5 loooong minutes watching it, boring.

well, I used to have a setup where I had all the movie cable channels, and would do 3d Art whilst listening/watching the same 20 movies for 6 months at a time...

If you watch it as a drama, you'll hate it. But if you watch it in sort of a 'Mystery Science Theater 3000' viewpoint, it's a rollicking laugh...

Exactly one of those - I'm currently using the very same image as my desktop wallpaper! ^_^ spooky lol. Then again it was one of the best images on google images, so maybe not so spooky.
