Nice one. as a fellow vector artist I would advise you to try and avoid using pixel effects when painting in illu'. that's my opinion :-)

Thanks for the comment and your opinion. I guess I should get more comfortable with the gradient mesh tool but my PC has trouble with it at times. I'll give it a try on my next illustration.
