Oh no they let me use photoshop

Actually a mistake
There's quite a few things going on here, but that is fine. I think. This project was for making a face with several other faces (er, pieces of faces). The "face" part of this project changed when it become obvious everyone was creating completely unholy monsters that can be barely considered human, let alone a face.
The "new[er] project" assigned was to make something with filters, so I slapped some filters on this piece, because why not? So the background has a simple grainy filter, just because, and the actual monstrosity has copy on top of it with a "cutout" filter, which I learned was Photoshop's butchered version of "image trace" on Illustrator (AI has much more capibilities, photoshop only can use so much colors).
Layers
I wasn't sure if I was going to label the layers, but I assumed I would be scolded for having a bunch of randomly numbered layers. This is definitely not that much layers, or at least what I am used to.

Computer Version that looks better yes it does


1. The emphasis would be the word "Recluse", as it is one of the brightest values in the piece, and it follows against the leg of the spider.

2. The landscape goes completely around the bag, and the spider not only connects perfectly in the back, but wind around half the bag.

3. The dashed lines on the top of the design were pretty unique, I suppose, as no one else did that. The lines was to help make the piece move around the bag, as well as giving it an 'old' look to it. Everyone knows old things were always recluse and closed off.

4. My word, recluse, means to be shut off from the word, it can be either a way of living or a way of viewing. Also recluse spiders. When I heard of recluse, I thought about lake houses on a small lake up in Maine or something (totally not thinking of the lake houses described in Stephen King's novels). The brown helps give it that sullen and old look.
