Isn't She Smokin'

This is my first LP created entirely in Illustrator. I've been trying to expand myself with each piece. I've been working on this for months and I've gotta say, Illustrator is confusing after so many years of only using Photoshop. At least for me.

Anyways, the beautiful woman reference I used in this piece is a personal friend of mine and one day on Facebook I saw a pic she posted and the idea came to me, it was a great pose I thought. Maybe if I get her permission, I'll post the reference photo.

Program: Adobe Illustrator CS5
Total Time: Approx ~42 hours (the smoke writing got to me)
References: 1 photo (might be released later)
Full size: 4167px by 4793px
