Description
Where sanity ends, gradient meshing begins.This is 100% vector! 16 layers of gradient mesh, all done in Adobe Illustrator.
This one almost drove me crazy, but was a good exercise. Inspired by *soulsurfer 's digital painting 'Peace Of Mind' using same reference picture from [link]
Hehe, you could scale this to cover an entire city and it would still look flawless... just gotta love vectors
Comments and all that jazz appreciated as always. Over and out.

Holy Hotness, Batman. Did you figure out how to put strokes around gradient meshes? I figured that one out the other day.

hmm, not really sure what you mean. i would copy the shape before turning it to a g-mesh then i would use that shape for strokes...

Instead of copying the shape, you can open the "Appearance" window, and then with your g-mesh selected, click "Add New Stroke" on the side menu of the "Appearance" window.
It saves you lots of layers, and consequently headaches later on.
You can also use it on type, so that the stroke only shows up behind the text instead of in front of it.

This is very, very smooth indeed! I'm loving the look of the gradient meshes here, and it's awesome how you've totally gotten it down. Meshes are something I still have trouble with, so major props for this piece
