Try a raidal gradient. Won't be exactly like your original design,. but close enough.

I assume that shutterstock has forums as well. You could ask there if gradient meshes are allowed. I think I have seen gradient meshes in stock vector art.


Thank you, everyone. I've managed to find the gradient meshes and image traced them into vector, worked perfectly. Thank you all ❤️

There are some elements like the tail and hair that have been converted to clip groups containing images at some point:

 

How were these elements created? Did you use freeform gradients or transparency that may have been rasterized on export to EPS?

The tail and hair were made with freeform gradient. It's strange how this shows "image" but mine didn't. Even with Link panel.

EPS does not support freeform gradients, so the result is rasterised when you use that file format.
