So...a couple of hours ago I was just fiddling around with some apps while looking for a way to censor the nipples in a photo for social media, and ended up doing something completely different.

The original image was this: https://purpleport.com/portfolio/gerard/image/6586998

I just couldn't seem to find a single satisfactory way to censor the nipples, but I followed my instincts down a different route. On one smartphone, I restructured the image in MirrorLab and spruced it up a little in Snapseed, then on another smartphone (an ancient relic which I only use for editing) I painted and styled it in iColorama, and lastly on the computer I retouched it and repainted the facial features in Photoshop.

I'm glad I give myself space for spontaneous productivity, because sometimes the urge takes hold of me (in fact it is often born of frustration) and I follow it down a rapid, entirely novel stream.

I didn't have a plan at all for the end result, but at some point I caught distinct Art Nouveau vibes and took it in that direction. What do you think?
