Space Van 100% Vector
Ohhh boy it has been a while... Both in Dribbble posting, and in doing this 100% vector skeuomorphic style! This was insane, about half way through this project I felt like I didn't know what I got myself into. How do you get through skeuomorphic rust? By creating the biggest one you've done yet. Believe it or not, I had to step about of Adobe Illustrator, as I completed this entire illo for a promo for Corel DRAW. Corel just released their new graphics suite on MacOS... It was quite the learning curve, but it does have some amazing tools in it, especially their streamlined gradient tool (perfect for this style).
Anyway my friends, I'll definitely come back to this style every once in a while... The digi paper stuff has just proved to be a bit more lucrative for me lately, in both demand and execution time lol. I'd always go back to my vector skeuo roots though, truth be told, a lot of my digi paper techniques in lighting and shading come directly from this style.
