Exciting New Portrait Option: Alter Ego Portraits

Alter Ego Portraits in pastel or oil.  These unique portraits can be created from life or photos. For an alter ego portrait, you are depicted as two or more characters who represent different sides of your personality. Either you or the artist takes photographs of the subject dressed as two or more alter egos in different poses. After discussing with the client on the best images to use, the artist creates a composite portrait of the alter ego characters interacting. What would your alter egos be and what would they be doing?
