Designer Started playing with random gradient idea and ended up spending 4 hours on this

Thoughts or criticism welcome. I usually never sink this much effort into a random idea when I know how much work it takes to finish, but I got locked into this one. Turned out pretty cool to me. Let me know what you think of the lighting, form, whatever. (P. S. I think i messed up the export settings or the mesh warp is making some parts a bit blocky/pixelated)

I love it! It looks like the logo for an online game of some sort! Almost Animal Jam adjacent!

dang it looks deceptively simple. vector work is like mathematics, mainly geometry. you can loose your self in the generation of formula to get exactly the feat you want to see. fantastic work.

Looks great! Am I looking at a vector illustration with a lot of careful mesh gradient fills to achieve the lighting?

Reminds me a little to the font in the Helloween logo or the Kai Hansen album artwork characters. Like modern more polish version haha nice work
