This is an illustration of John Locke from Lost! This character has always been one of my favorite characters on the show. I did a painting of him a few months ago but since then my style has turned into one that is more vector based so I wanted to do a vector version of John Locke. The black smoke went through a few changes. First I just drew in the lines to place the smoke on the picture and then after that I added detail to it but in the end I decided that I liked it much more as just a solid black mass. To me it felt more imposing then it did when it had detail.
