For this assignment we had to find a good portrait of a movie monster and recreate it in vector using the pen tool in Illustrator. I chose to do the Gill-man from "The Creature from the Black Lagoon" for mine and after about 20 hours of work came out with the portrait below. It seemed almost too fitting to include the Japanese sun pattern behind him being how he could just as easily have come from a Godzilla movie.
