I drew my favorite characters from the hit show 'Heroes', in Adobe Illustrator CS4 entirely with the pen tool, then I took the vector drawings, and textured and gave them FX in Adobe Photoshop CS4, in a very comic book/cartoony manner. I've never crossed vector art, into raster, as when I use Illustrator I shoot for realism, but I'm happy with the cartoony effect, and outcome of these portraits. The characters from right to left are: Claire (Hayden Panettiere), Hiro (Masi Oka), Sylar (Zachary Qunito), Mohinder Suresh (Sendhil Ramamurthy), 'The Haitian' Rene (Jimmy Jean-Louis), Nathan (Adrian Pasdar), Peter (Milo Ventimiglia), and Mat (Greg Grunberg).
