  1. I have just realized how much better AD-AI integration became in 1.6 release! I had problems with outline sizes before - like if i do outlines thicker than 4 px and try to copy and paste them from AD to Illustrator they were pasted like and expanded stroke with too many points, that is - were unusable. So i had to decrease stroke thickness to low (sometimes 0,1 px worked) and then increase it again in Illustrator. But since 1.6 release i just copy/paste strokes of any thickness - that saves time! Also, with complex graphics - when you paste one shape into another and so on - it is pasted perfectly to illustrator now, and before it usually became rasterised... Thank you guys! 

     

    I'd like not to use illustrator at all, but many other people rely on it... Violent world, nobody understands me...:86_crying_cat_face:

  2. I like it and the homage to Pamela Coleman Smith (artist of that Tarot deck that Insecto mentioned). The one thing that bothers me is how the tail knots up. It just knocks me out of the picture and doesn't visually "follow" because of the flat illustrative style and especially with the abrupt color change. IMHO, that knot could just be removed and the curve of the tail between the beginning of the knot and the ending be continued. If one looks at pictures of snakes moving, they don't knot up. It seems that knotting only happened when two snakes encounter each other. And by continuing the curve, it echoes the curves of the background better and thus makes the illustration seem (to my eyes at least) more whole and harmonious without losing that engraving look that you have done so well. 

    Well i have to think about this. Thanks for your advise ;)

  3. It reminds me of some old tarot cards illustrations. My grandma used to have one of those decks at her house. I remember spending hours just looking at those scenes. Congrats man, super cool!

    Yeah, this kind of graphics is one of my inspirations. I love the mystic look of old engravings, folk art, stuff like that...
