I kept the gradual nodes to a minimum, but if you want a more stylized version without any "bent-looking" curves whatsoever, someone awesome like that anon who responded to you earlier might need to step in.

I would like to re-emphasize that guy's point about high-quality source material. Requests to vector images with pro shading and brushwork go unfilled because 1) gradient meshes are hard as fuck, and 2) the end product is not a noteworthy improvement over the original. Just scale it up with ai jfc
