Shiny webmail icon, gradient mesh tool

I created the entire icon with my laptop trackpad, since I’m in Houston sans-Wacom, so my hand hurts a little. It’s all built lovingly from scratch with vector paths in Illustrator.

    That is incredible.
    Way to flex those gradient mesh muscles. Looks just like a 3d rendering.

    Merry Christmas, Shyama.

    lovely! I hope you didn’t cause any hand cramping. But if you did, it was worth it, this little beauty is just that, a beauty!

    Someday the Novian charter jet will look JUST like this. I’ll make sure to pay you royalties on its design. I’m so honored to use this on my site; thank you!!!!

    P.S. Your “blog” sure does load fast. :)
