This is based off a sketch I did. I tried to recreate strokes, and I imitated the hi-res c64 style graphics to shade. However, this is not a valid c64 pic, just shaded in a similar way ;)

I called this "Electro Vanity" because it reminded me of those Renaissance paintings, with constant references to death and vanity. So I tried to do a "modern" take ;p

Colours are MS Paint Vista, I believe.

Okay, I will update then!
Thanks everybody for the views and posts!

Fixed: tried to make each shape look like a different layer.

Hmm.. nice use of triangles but you should have done the lineart with 'em too

 

PS. sorry im drunk

... so you think I should restrict the triangles in the shapes (created by the outlines)?
That can easily be done. How about deforming the grid (for the squares/triangles) according to the shapes?
I've got another pic based on this lineart coming, with old-school comic-book shading. I'll PM a WIP if anybody's interested.

I agree with dogmeat. Good idea but terrible execution. The line art just seems layered over the shape without much thought

Originally I shaded inside the shapes and did not create "layers".
I then decided I would apply my triangles like this to recreate the "messy" shading of the marker pens I used in my original sketch.
I'm adding the sketch as a ref in the descriptor now.

@Metaru: oh, thanks :)
I've realised the time span in which I progressed in is a lot shorter than I thought... :/

Nice style, and it works quite well with the vista colors!
