What a nice title to a fond farewell to an old friend.

Very much my most detailed and complex vectors. With 415 layers, using the new style of vectoring too, this is probably the most challenging image I have done. For reasons that still escape me, I really do love vectoring, its truly my passion. The kimono with all of its lovely patterns in combination with the weird transitions of graduated color in the hair and other areas made this one truly my most favorite challenge.
