TAVIS halftone self portrait - full 1080p

This is my first animated self-portrait, and hopefully not my last. I started by drawing with pencil while looking in a mirror - no photographic references were used in making this. I then processed the pencil drawing digitally. The halftone circles are drawn and animated with some custom c++ code, using the CImg library. This is a 38 frame sequence that loops infinitely. Please let me know what you think in the comments!

Music is: Ravi Shankar playing Madhuvanti at the Shiraz Arts Festival in Iran. The music was provided to the public domain by Dr. Lloyd Miller.
