My VectaDesu #12 Entry (Original size 3100 x 5600 pixels)

Original fullsize as download.
Based on scan [link]

No full colour shapes were used and it is not painted, but all done in Illustrator. Everything is meshed.

To proof it was not painted I made a screenshot from a outline preview.

Everything is created in Illustrator. I wanted to try out the "mesh tool", so this is my first time using it. It was a pain at the beginning and with many trial and errors I started to get the hang on it. However during vectoring I still had to do some parts multiple times before I was satisfied. Along the way I got myself trying out different methods to create a part, so in this work there are several methods I used. (You might be able to see the difference in some parts)

I wanted to try to create something realistic/3d-ish, but it didn't really became any of these. Don't know how to call this work.

Anyways I hope you like it.

Comments/remarks/suggestions/hints/tips/critiques etc. are appreciated.
