I am on a mission to create an image of Freddie Mercury in pure CSS. I want to do this because I love seeing what other people have made in CSS and have always wanted to try it, and I love Freddie Mercuriy. I've played around with simple CSS art in the past, but I've never taken on anything quite like this!
The image I am working from is a black and white image of Freddie in a white tanktop looking into the camera. It's probably his most iconic look.
For my first day working on this, I just focused on creating the background. I simplified the gradient and used a color picker to get the colors as close to the original as possible.
