Created sketch, scanned into Photoshop, opened in Illustrator, re-illustrated with mouse and Wacom. Took 16 hours (including 5 hours for the characters, which were created for various Sketch-Of-The-Days images). Its in the style that I've been working on since my BFA thesis, capstone project.
The original is a 27x27 inches (68.58x68.58cm), 300mb file/image. Printing it at Kinkos and framed it for a friend.
