Description I drew this for a game app. He's your basic thug, the kind of flunky villains send out to do their dirty work when the bashing of heads is required. He was a gas to draw. I envisioned him as kind of a cross between Fred Flintstone and Alex in A Clockwork Orange. This matches what was in my head pretty closely, which is ALWAYS satisfying.
This is pretty much pure vector, primarily using the pen tool, but also using several custom brushes. No mesh. No raster effects. Some of the brushes I used on this were created by HumanNature here on IW, and I thank him for making them available. They're pretty awesome. I'll probably be using them again in the future.
Enjoy.
