Ritual Mask

This is a little exploration I did at the beginning of the week. Being more and more in touch with Vectors, I got very inspired by some of the awesome Illustration I came across on different blogs, and wanted to try it out.
Never liked Illustrator before, never took the patience to get to know the shortcuts and tools, so I think the only thing that was left to do is try it out! The whole thing took me about 6-7h to complete - since I never bought vector packs I decided to illustrate all the ornamental parts by hand.
For the first more complex Artwork I did in Illustrator I'm pretty happy with the outcome, but tell me, whta do you think about it?
// UPDATE: Well, I was still not comfortable with the colors, so I started tweaking and texturing in PS. So here's the new version which I really prefer.

Sehr schönes detailiertes Bild, auch die Farben find ich passend.
Ich wollte mich auch mal mit Illustrator und Vektoren näher beschäftigen, aber irgendwie kam es nicht dazu, einmal ein ganz einfacher Apfel war das erste und letzte Ergebnis, was ich je mit Illustrator erstellt hab obwohl die Möglichkeiten des Programms sehr interessant sind.

Kann ich mir denken, ich werkle schon ein paar Jahre mit Photoshop herum und bin immer noch oft überrascht, wie umständlich ich manche Sachen mache, weil ich mich mit manchen Funktionen bisher zuwenig beschäftigt hab
nice work. very stylish
