Deviousness `ChewedKandi has certainly gone out of her way to keep the vector community on the right path. Always making sure that her talents are infinitely scalable, Sharon has put her bezier curves to excellent use, and firmly anchored herself as an inspirational leader. We're absolutely delighted to bestow the Deviousness Award for June 2013 to `ChewedKandi. Congratulations, Sharon! Read More

The reason this one looks so clean and regular is that although it was still done in Photoshop rather than Illustrator (which I *must* make time to learn!), is was using Photoshop's "pen tool" which creates vector-based graphics.
The pen tool is so unlike any of the other Photoshop tools. It's a toughie to master.
You can see how frustrated I am, with my own style. Remember that poll I did about "cartoony style" and whether it's appropriate for Escher-style art.
I'd like to experiment with some sculpture soon. Some bas-relief tessellation art would be fun, and wouldn't let me rely on an editorial-cartoon style.
On the other hand, one of the things I love about Escher is his almost superhuman draftsmanship. His amazingly skillful drawings are very pleasing to look at.
I enjoy cartoon renditions of tessellations, impossible figures etc. But I enjoy Escher's super realism even more.
The general feeling I got from the poll is that cartoony is somewhat OK, but sloppy, whereas the best tessellation art is 'draftsmanlike math + art = tessellation'.
