What I did here was using vector (geometric modeling) to create layers of different shapes and stacking them on top of one another to produce this rendering (done in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paint_Shop_Pro">Paint Shop Pro</a>). Since this was my first time attempting anything of this sort, it took me more than 12 hours despite using very basic techniques. I swear I&#39;m going to master Bézier curves someday and get better at vector drawing.</p><p>Yes, so this concludes the last post of the year. Happy New Year, everyone!<br /></p>   <p style="clear:both;">
