Description

Somewhat of a draw-this-again of shesta713.deviantart.com/art/K…


I'm not 100% happy with it, I may work on it some more at a later date.

Woah! I never realized gradients and vector images could play nice with each other until now! Or is that many layers of vector shapes and brushes just combined together to look like gradients?

Many layers of shapes! Some shapes are solid colours, while others have gradients or lowered opacities.

I never would've guessed how different shapes could be layered over top of each other to look like that. That's awesome!

Damn, this looks so great: the colors, the composition... Beautiful. I didn't know Vector could look so fine, I'll have to study this technique !

lovely sense of motion and color.  The only suggestion I would make is a little more definition in the fins

Featured here: Complementary Colour Feature!This is for :iconrainylake:'s Project Feature contest
I've always enjoyed complementary colours in artwork. I think they can really make artwork pop and stand out, unlike a monochromatic scheme or a piece with perhaps too many colours all over the place. So without further adieu, here is the feature!

Serene, beautiful colors. Maybe you could have added a touch of sharpening at the most important area, but still, the overall impression is strong.
