Late Night

This was a fun drawing. It's not perfect, but that's why I don't do this for a living. :)

Here's a 2560x1440 wallpaper size in all its glory: http://cl.ly/DVAH

I was tweeting progress along the way which was fun. Here's the various stages:

This is probably the most extensive drawing I've done that is completely in vectors. It takes time, but also nice to know I can scale this at any size without losing quality.
