okay, in the scheme of things this is lame, but for me it's a big deal. i'm finally getting into illiustrator and working with vectors. This took TOO FUCKING long to do. I started from sketch, went over every line with the pen tool, then converted it over to Illiustrator. I can't figure out gradiants yet as I'm having trouble cutting up vectors, but it's a start. That took too too goddamn long.
