Description
There's been a lot of Vector portrait type things loitering on DA so I thought I'd join in
...and yes - I am a child of the 80s
Illustrator CS using a lot of shape blends.
It does need to be viewed full sized to appreciate it. SO DO IT!!!

I will try again at the g-mesh soon I hope - but you've chosen the apt user name for sure!!!!

Having spent my adolescence in the 80s, I really appreciate this homage to a fun time. A little bit Patrick Nagel-ish...now just let me dust off my Duran Duran records...
Beautiful smooth vectoring once again.

I love vectors of women... I love how you kept the skin pure white...

In this particular case, it was because I didn't want to attempt colouring it - but I think it turned out very nice (and very 80s

Thanks - I think you'll like the next vector portrait I'm working on which should be finished in today's work lunchtime.
After seeing the overall standard of what's out there, I've decided to try for something a little more realistic looking!

Now that I've seen a lot of similar stuff out there which I really like, you'll be seeing a few more vector portraits from me (particularly as I manage to do them in my lunch breaks at work)

Thanks for adding one of my pieces to your favs.
Nice gradient mesh on this one; i've used this image for a comp also [link]
had the same problem with the lack of one of the eyes though, it just didn't look 'right'
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Glad you like it - You version's pretty sweet too by the way!
No Gradient Mesh on this baby - just old school shape blends (although with current Illustrator versions, you do get the added coolness of 'live' shape blends so you can experiment a bit with the actual colours).
