This is how I feel when I am burned out!!! I get an image from of an intensity to stay awake and to try to be focused, especially in your facial expression. The whole message seems to come accross throught the artwork rather than different bits giving off different messages.

I like the way you have done the burned out bits. This looks as if the fire / burning has come from the inside, which those tired limb pains do. You know when you burn paper from underneath and it first starts to blister then the hole appears like a little volcano - this is how these wounds look. Then the flame ripples out in a circle.

This peice still has a focus on the eyes which is good because it still gives the viewer a firm relationshion with you - if it was too blurry around the eyes and nose then I think this would be lost.

There also seems to be a sense of maybe floating within water here, maybe also a dream like sense - the bit like you get when you are on the verge of sleep and the flashes of images apprear that make no sense at all.

I would suggest that maybe you try blowing the perspective a little more - like being close to a wide angle lense - this I think might add to a sense of paranoia.

Well done. This fits in very well and is very well thought out.
