This vector image was created for the purpose of being used as an asset for a mobile game and doubled as a vector image for ART 270. As such, it was developed without the intention of having background, as it is used transparently within the application. This sushi roll is actually used as an obstacle which the player must dodge (it makes even less sense in context).

The bamboo and shadow was added because displaying it entirely without a background alone seemed very unfinished. The style of this piece is meant to be less photorealistic and more “true in essence”, colors are exaggerated and blocks are well defined to fit with the overall, vibrant aesthetic of the context in which it is going to be used (a mobile application).   Ideally, the asset will never be viewed at this large of a size, as it appears in mobile contexts where many fine details are likely to either go unnoticed or simply, due to limitations of technology, not be visible at all.

Most of this piece is done with only solid, non-transparent colors, with highlights and lowlights being using sparingly and making use of transparency.
