Description Oooooooookaaaaaaay *takes deep breath*

I already reached the keyword limit, so you can probably expect a looooong description

This is a New Year's Eve themed illustration – 100% Vector, done entirely in Adobe Illustrator. Most used tools are probably brush, pentool, pencil, blend (!), gradient, transform, transform, transform. And symbols! Gotta love me using some nice symbols

City scenery highly inspired by New York City, if you know me, that shouldn't come as a surprise
Typical architecture, subway station, deli, garbage

And of course the obligatory New Year's fireworks. They were the first thing I did, originally wanted to focus on them, but hey, I get obsessive and end up adding a million tiny details

Yeah, not as long, I have no more stamina

Hope you like it

(I wanted to upload a print file, but I guess it was too big or just a bad moment for me/dA; hopefully I can that later )

100% vector makes it even (~20%) more cool. This has probably taken impressive amounts of time to complete. The fog from the sewers is also pretty cool for vector.

I like the details, like the guy in the sewers, the cat in the background, or the very well hidden graffiti. Wonder who could have done that.

Happy new year too!

It took me like 15 hours I guess. I started on saturday and finished on sunday. But there was not much else to do those days anyway
The fog is a "simple" blend, it's one of those things that gets a lot easier once you understood it And if nobody zooms in on the piece

I usually get lost in the details at some point
The graffiti is more or less my signature, thought it fitted well on the wall

Happy New Year to you, too

You're welcome Anne You see? What happens is that you have a style that is rich in details, and you create lovely atmospheres in your illustrations! I love that because you manage to engage the viewer in a way that it's like a "visual transportation" into the scene!
