Update: I created a Youtube video showing my layers one by one for this artwork. You can find it here: [link]

When I started this mesh, I wanted to create realistic skin textures on my gradient mesh work. I wanted to see how far I could push the mesh tool. I wanted to achieve photorealism like I had never done before. I'm happy how it turned out, but I might never push the mesh this far again without someone writing a check for the work. This gradient mesh vector was completed over a three week period. This gradient mesh was done without using the mesh tormentor.

Time: I stop counting after 100+ hours...

Illustrator CS6, gradient mesh tool, a vector hair brush, square tool, and nothing else

I posted your vid over on my facebook. A lot of my friends (who like me uses Illustrator on a daily basis) were just speechless...
