It is a smoke element composited in, as is the city in the background. It does feel like the gradient mesh tool in illustrator but believe it or not I created custom shapes and custom gradients in photoshop. Took far longer than I care to admit but it was worth it for the practice. Also, was inspired by a talk by Christian Lorenz Scheurer in which he proved being a better photoshop artist can mean becoming a much better digital painter. In fact, he even admitted to being a horrible painter but you be the judge! His mastery of masking and gradients seems to more than make up for it. Christianlorenzsheurer.com
