Inspired entirely by Nick Misani's Fauxsaic project, I decided to try making one of my own. This will be part of a mailer for Mosaic Boston's Easter weekend services.
The process was very long, but entirely worth it. Very pleased with the results!

I created a blue hex pattern in Illustrator to be the background tiles behind the design.

The finished piece!
Added shading, texture, and lighting to the tiles in Photoshop.
