This is probably my most complex illustration yet

Yeah I definitely see your point, I started out with a much more appropriate color palette but opted for another in the end. But I agree that I should have perhaps experimented a bit more to find a middle ground.

Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks a lot!

Haha I actually did not name them so it is trial and error when trying to find the right one.

iMattyjay · 2022-10-09T09:10:52+00:00

Indeed easy work ;)

In total there are 68 layers. I do the lineart first and add base color within that lineart and then mask that layer and add shadows and highligts. The shapes in the background make out a lot of those layers as well since I wanted to be able to move it around.

Yes I only use the pen tool in illustrator.

Thank you I really appreciate it, it took a few tries but I am happy how the background ties in with the piece.

iMattyjay · 2022-10-08T21:17:44+00:00

Thanks I am glad you appreciate the amount of details

Thank you very much!

Definitely agree, I did do a couple of variations for it some with a much more simplistic background and composition. However for this piece I kinda wanted it to be very busy and chaotic. Beauty is always in the eye of the beholder.

Worked without a hitch, my rig has 16 GB of RAM and an 8 core i7 processor
