Vector Illustration

For my next project I created a vector illustration using only Adobe Illustrator. This began as a more collaborative project, as we folded a sheet of paper in three then blindly and randomly drew the three sections in segments without knowing what the rest of the body looked like. I chose the following image to recreate in Illustrator:

I added color and used artistic license to make it more personal and what I believe to be aesthetically pleasing. I then came up with a concept for the background design. Due the the Florida State Fair being in town, I decided to use this as inspiration. I wanted to create a unusual, foreign feel to this image causing it to feel a little barren. I used a bright color scheme to contrast with the deserty ground. I believe this fits well with the design of the monster.
