Exceptional! This looks very nice. 8)
This is the most important comment for me.
I love the egg shells, not crazy about the egg white though.
Looks almost rendered….
Really yummy.. First I though the yolk only is to be designed in photoshop .. This is really nice.. Also the yolk is awesome.. good color combination in b/w :)
This is The most realistic vector egg I’ve ever seen! Only some parts of eggs “white” looks not so perfect, but in my opinion 9,9/10. Peace man!
Very, very nice. Cool job!
Holy cow, that is awesome. What a beautiful end result. I can’t wait to check this out this weekend!! :D
Quite impressed with the specifics – however, is it only me or does the yolk and the white look out of proportion and at the wrong angle to the shell?
why would the yolk be black? :S
It’s not black. The surface underneath is black. The yolk is transparent.
This one is cool, and easy to make with Inkscape too except de the spiral distortion effect, but it’s no big deal, you can use a lot of other distortion effects that work good too.
Thank you for this tutorial ! I learned a lot with it (I think about the little bubbles, very cool :) )
ps : excuse my ugly English
very nice tuts
Oh god, I thought this was a 3D render! Looks really great and clean! :D
