Talk About Green...

After much swearing and table banging, my first Illustrator image. Man, do I hate this program. I'm assuming after outrage, impatience and bewilderment, defeat, understanding and acceptance will eventually prevail.

A big "inspired by " to Ragnar (?). I think that's right...

craig,

while everyone eventually finds the application that works best for them, I encourage you to keep at it with illustrator. It is very powerful and allows you to designs, compose and create on an enormous scale.

I know it can feel like a 24 gear Big Rig or the cockpit of the space shuttle at times, but I think you will really get a lot out of it in time.

And this is a great piece with good contrasting linework. nice job.

Looks GREAT to me... keep with illi. Its my current weapon of choice and I cant imagine really using anything else. What you said about Illustrator is the same way i feel about Photoshop. But vector art is sooo worth the growing pains of learning a new program. Keep it up!
