self portrait. finished??

This is my Salvador Dali style self portrait. I like it, but I don't feel like it's successful in completing the project. For me, Dali is much more surreal and I couldn't find patterns in the shapes and colors to put in subtle images as Dali did with Lincoln in Dalivision. It doesn't seem surreal enough to me, but then again, I'm not much of a surrealist. I also had a really hard time getting smooth strokes. In Dali's work, you can barely see the beginnings and ends of his brush strokes but in Illustrator, the strokes were obvious.
