Nick Link Likes To Draw

I felt my header wasn't quite done as it was. I started out experimenting with the stock plants in 3ds max. I thought it would create a nice juxtaposition between realism and the cartoon look I already had. I ended up not using the 3d models because I wanted the header to be all original art work. So I threw this palm tree together in Illustrator. So I went from a 3d palm tree to a flat 2d palm tree. Anyway I like the way this palm tree turned out and I think its more unified than it would be with 3d models.
