Self Portrait

I am working on my self portrait. I actually drew this a while back, but left it black and white. So now I'm going to add some color and hopefully use it as my profile picture and possibly for business cards or whatever else it will fit into. I'm pretty happy with it so far after about two hours of working on the color.
