This is an entry created for the "Discovering Contest" in
My first entry was not satisfactory enough and prompted me very much for improvement. So I chose a subject(I was browsing through DevArt and this one caught my eye [[link]]) Thanks to I was able to complete this one.

It took me over 20hours and I had to do it in one sitting coz pieces once cut, had to be used before I forget where to put them. Even with just black and 2 shades of gray, it had over 100 pieces (small and big). The worst part was the hair on the left side. 80% of black in that is just one piece. Took me 90mins cutting just that one piece. The eyes are those which I enjoyed most cutting. However, I ended up with what is one of my masterpieces and big giant head ache.
