Small update on what I've been up to the past months, haven't created that much art lately :blush:
Comment and criticize them as much as you like and see more at my DA.

All of these are awesome! My favorite is definitely the Smile. The second one looks a little messy, i think the shapes need to be just a little crisper. I dont like the hearts in the first one, they seem like afterthoughts and don't add much to the composition of the image. On the batman one i would like to see the vector you did by itself! I think the final image is great but from what i can see the vector looks equally impressive, without the photoshop additions. Everything looks great though! :D

Thanks Pandy!

The Grin is a experiment and first try for me with 3D objects in Illustrator. Rather fun to use when you're not a fan of C4D and still want to do some 3D stuff, and best of all combined with vectors.

The hearts for Illuminate were a part of the scene and I included them to fill blank space, but I see what you mean.

Hehe yeah Blu is a bit messy and hectic, tried out a glamor shot sharpen (bling, blur, smooth) to match the fancy bg and sparkles.

Bats is a quick trace of one of DMN's renders, and standalone it looks like this:
