Toccata & Ewe in D Minor..


I've not messed about much with Adobe Illustrator in a long time... I remember back when I was Teaching Cont. Ed back in Detroit that I'd used some of my comp pay to take a reduced price seat in a 12 session course on the program... I remember getting a handle on some of the aspects and then we got into advanced functions of the Gradient Mesh tool. Then my head just collapsed...
None the less I'm starting to dig back into the program... I'm so comfortable with Photoshop, that its both trying, and rewarding at the same time to branch out... Regardless I've been getting more Illustrator assignments and I need to sharpen my skill set in Vector Graphics...
This sheep is the result of some early tinkering, though I'll admit I did a little stuff in photoshop prior to posting. Mainly, I added come color adjustment and textureing... I'll try to do some more of these in the future so that I can get some more practice in... If you can think of animals for me to tackle please drop me a post in the comments and I'll look into it.

Hope you dig.

really like the treatment of the grass dude-has a funky 8 bit kinda feel to it. Great work!

Dig it. I haven't used Illustrator in a long time, opting to use Flash since I'm more familiar and quicker with it. You have inspired me to go back and become more versed in it.
