Death Card - vector design

I was given a sketch (not my sketch) and asked to turn it into a vector design that would be put on t-shirts.

So I traced the sketch in illustrator, I also used a photo of the flashlight (the things in the mouth are flashlights), traced that and made it vector. Stylized things a bit with some halftone pattern. I tweaked the overall look a bit, flipped the spade right side up, filled in the eyes and nose.

From sketch to finished t-shirt design.
