Great stuff :)

I think Pathfinder is an under-utilized illustration tool for developing characters, with artists often using the Pen tool so that they don’t have to think too much about how each element fits together. It takes a visionary, such as yourself, to see how the different pieces will fit together in the final stage and how they can be combined together using Pathfinder. This is a method that I would use to create a logomark, which are often simple shapes and don’t have much color (if any). Seeing you do it for a more complex piece is inspiring, and it even gets more complicated when you’re working with a very colorful piece like this.

Well done Zena!

Because that is more the focus and not really the finished art.

Nothing about this pencil says “danger.” Adding a point to the end of that pencil would subconsciously add a hint of danger to it. I challenge you to follow this tutorial, and try making some edges sharp, instead of curved. You’ll be surprised at how fast this character will begin to look dangerous, or scary.

I love the trippy look of it. But would it look better with a point instead?
