Bacardi Rum Vector

Well, I'm finally done with this thing. It took a very long time to do (probably around a month here and there) and it is actually my first "photo-realistic" vector image. It was done in Adobe Illustrator CS5. One of the most difficult parts of this piece is the cap. I used a series of meshes and it took a while just to get the shades right. Another part that was very stressful was where it says, "Bacardi" on the glass itself. Again I used meshes, but I had to align the meshes which was a hassle. All of the text you see was made using the pen tool; no type was used whatsoever. As I was putting everything together, even I was impressed with the way it was turning out. Well, I'm glad it's finally finished. Hope you guys like it.
