Description
A project for my Illustrator 2 class. Yay! This one took me FOREVERRRR!! Because people seem to be interested in my vector illustrations, here's some progress pics:I started with a sketch in Photoshop, inked it with the pen tool in Illustrator, then changed my strokes to ink brushes. The background is a texture from Illustrator.

Awesome piece. Just all around great, from the background texture to the detail. It also has a very authentic feel which really adds a lot, in my opinion.
