Because it's fun having two guys kill themselves over a girl.

Anyway, yay, my first Illustrator piece... took forever, still getting used to the controls.

The samurais were done first in one file. The geisha is another file. The final file is a composite of the figures and the background plus one other layer for the shadow in the foreground and the flare in the back.

Hm... well that's about it. No gradient mesh yet, I'll get round to figuring that out another day. I have to say I prefer Illustrator's color controls. I guess it's just the way the program handles color, for whatever reason the color seems deeper and richer than in Freehand.

wow...simply beautiful. love all the rich colors :heart:
woaaarr first fav to me, for a change :bulletred: :w00t:
Very nicely done!
Like yamiza said, the colors are great. The lack of extreme contrast adds to the general flavor of the picture, methinks.

The perspective is nice and fits with the theme and style, and I like how you textured the ground around the flare in the back. Veddy nice.

That's cool. The geisha looks kinda evil. I like her kimono too.
Beatiful. You are right about the colours in Illustrator. Thats something I really love about that program.
Very lovely I like the story you tell in this image.

Your work is always fabulous, girl !

I have to try using Illustrator one day, because I'm also used to using Freehand.
