[viollus]

@illiria2000

About 10 to 12h total. I didn't made it all at once. Every video is one session about 3h-4h long

[AgciaEkstra]

i love you viollus :)

[royalconcrete1]

sweet of you to say "dont be terrified of illustrator and that you were afraid of it at first too". That is very encouraging of you. thanks

[royalconcrete1]

plum amazing, I bow to your mastery of illustrator

[nadadenadak]

can you do a non cartoon character? like a hulk detailed or any "hero" of the games......btw Amazing Job!!!

[viollus]

@nadadenadak

Sure, ther is no difference in technique. However, when it comes to characters like Hulk and his overwhelming amount of details (all thoes veins and wrinkles) You really, REALLY should reconsidey using PS od Painter, amount of time and work that you would spend on vector is astronomical compare to hi res bitmap.

[Bohvey]

Is there a book that you would recommend that gives more depth into the techniques used to create this piece? I have been using illustrator to do my "inking" and then coloring in photoshop. Thanks and you do great work.

@Bohvey

Sorry, don't know any good books about Illistrator. However I would recoment you to visit vector.tutsplus.com - lots of good illustrator stuff for beginners and advanced

[hmbn614]

on the helmet did u make the stroke the same color as the gradients or did u jus take the stroke off?

[viollus]

@hmbn614

HI! Ther are no stroke, I expand all of them into shapes. Helmet outline is a solid colour shape on bottom of the obiect, covered by 2 obiects with gradients with diffedent mixing styles and some opacity.
