Is the reality shattering? / Gazing into the abyss... (entry for the artexplosion contest)

Hi :)
Here is my entry for the current artexplosion contest hosted by Hive account@juliakponsford. The theme is "self".

Is the reality shattering? / Gazing into the abyss...

Though I had an idea of a possible background story, I won't tell anything about it :P It's up to you. Giving the picture a title was already more than I planned first, but i felt that it should have one (or two at the same time ^^ )
I was also thinking about giving hte picture a title like "Honey, the mirrors cracked again... Am I really this ugly?" :P

The creation process:

1. step: some sketchy lines to outline the idea itself
2. step: clean lines
3. step: moar lines! :D
4. step: some shadows and highlights
5. step: the abyss gazing back + citation
