Escape From the Audio Mess

New year, new stuff!
Another piece based off a song, this time inspired by Escape From the Audio Mess by FAKE?. My initial idea for this wasn't nearly as complex as it is now. But I let the idea sit for like, six months (haha), and it evolved into this. Now it has a very Asian Kung-Fu Generation feel to it (as in the CD covers) with the vector look and all the random crap. By the way, all the random crap is better understood when you listen to the song. ;D

I've done plenty of vector work for school and clients before, but I've done none of it for myself. I didn't have much trouble drawing it all out in Illustrator, but getting the colors just right was tedious. I knew I wanted red and yellow, but it took me a while to figure out how to use it.

(And pssst, note me if you want to listen to Escape From the Audio Mess by FAKE?)
