Narcissus

For our second assignment, we had to design a character from mythology that transforms from one form to the other. I ended up choosing Narcissus as I wanted to play around with how a human would turn into a flower. As it turns out, a pretty boy is harder to portray than I thought - how do you create a face that is objectively beautiful when beauty is so subjective and yet show a hint of the ugly personality inside? -- but this assignment was fun nonetheless.
