Here a self portrait after a long time.
What do you think about it?

I agree with Ted. I think it's fine for the image to fade into black, but there's too much black for my taste. I would rather see more of your face.
Even though you lit the face from below, it might be useful to look at Rembrandt lighting. It's from above, but it shows a way of partially illuminating the dark side of the face.
I totally agree with the comments above, you need a little more light.
I would make the same comment as Dan, plus the ones I make on your Self Portrait (2) image.
The light is hot and hard and coming from below. It strikes both shoulders, which is a bit distracting. Your cheek is quite "hot" and the all important eye is under exposed.
This is an interesting experiment, but I find it is not working particularly well for me.
