I don't... do Vector. I'm just hoping this IS vector... heh. I was encouraged to enter this contest by ^DomiSM even though I am horrible at vector. In the spirit of Vector Week on #projecteducate I tried. This is probably the worst vector ever to hinder the face of dA... but oh well. Always worth trying a new art form once, right?
GIMP path tool, laptop track pad mouse, 2 hours and over 50+ layers.
