OK, I admit it. This post is purely self-congratulatory. I am feeding my ego! I've had Xara since the first release of Webster (in fact I was a beta tester), but I've always used it as an addition to my web creation toolbox, never used it purely to create an illustration for its own sake (too much work, too little time etc.) Now I've spent the last couple of months since buying XaraX looking round here and the XaraXone and have been mightily impressed with some of the artwork. So I decided to spend some time and see what I could come up with - in fact it was Egg Bramhill's Harley that inspired this particular piece of Xarillustration. And I am damn impressed with myself - sorry, I just couldn't find any humility... this will come later when the reviews come in!
This illustration has 17 layers, one bitmap fill (the curtains) and one bitmap (background image). It took me approx 20 hours of solid work and by far the hardest part was keeping focused and not losing concentration.
Let me know what you think...

If someone tried to make me dig my own grave I would say No.
They're going to kill me anyway and I'd love to die the way I lived:
Avoiding Manual Labour.
