a question of style

So, I can't decide if I want to illustrate all 100 fruits + veggies for "SeasonalChef" in Illustrator


or Flash


I guess I could switch between programs depending on the visual complexity of each consumable, but I was rather hoping to stick with one application. I'm sure this is directly related to me being familiar, but far from adept, with both drawing programs. The mesh gradient tool in Illustrator is a godsend for knobby, elongated, twisted, or otherwise funky veggies. But I really like how Flash gives the ability to localize alpha channels in gradients without messing around with masks. What a tragic dilemma.

It is a pain that you can't just have a transparent fill in Illustrator. You can always mix I guess. Very nice illustrations.

Mmmm...asparagus.

I hate using Illustrator, but of these two pieces I feel it gave you a better result.
