Unflattering Self Portrait--from bad to worse

I was looking at this picture I took of myself--I always look a bit mad in them--both in the angry and insane way.

so I think, I'll muck about with it, see what I can get out of it.
I tried an effect caled "black velvet"--sounds kinda tacky and fun, so....


Eeeeek! It looks like the ghost of Vlad the Impaler!! So I try a negative of it


Oh, that's sooo much better--now I only look like Rasputin.
Bitch slapped by vanity. The humiliation!;)
