Artist's Note

I realized last night I haven't seen a palm tree in a very long time. I feel bad about that...

I know the style is a little whatever, but I wanted to match my moai. :)

Wow, I never expected to go featured with this. To answer some stuff: I chose to go with a jagged, flat style for the tree to make it go nice with the statue, and I think it creates a more interesting contrast from the soopa-smooth background. Also, I know a Moai (easter island statue guy) should be sitting in a field, but he's on vacation. =) The round island was just a throwback to Bugs Bunny caroons, and last of all... if it wasn't a Corona, the joke wouldn't be as funny. Aaanyway, I just want to say thanks for the featured, and I'm glad you all enjoyed the work! :) | EDIT: Skee, I drew the tree and the Moai statue as one object, so I'm afraid that's a no-go. :(

While Corona isn't my beer of choice - I think you can put a lime in any beer - this is a nice wallpaper. Has a good relaxing feel to it. Reminds me of this stupid spear toss game I used to play when I got sick of working at 2 AM. Also, give him a Yuengling or a mug of Franziskaner and I'm hooked.

wow, I love the style and the concept. I actually laughed when I saw the beer. My only beef is that there is too much sea. It doesn't look right at that angle.

I like this, although I thin you need to pick a style. many of the elements are very round and smooth, while others are very jagged, like the palm tree. I think if you did everything in the same style it would look more unified.

I think this would go good with all those KDE themes out there..

haha this made me smile. but to be scientifically correct, it may be better if the statue is a monkey not a Easter man, and the island can be better if it's not prefectly round

I love this!! though im not too fond of the stone-henge guy under the palm tree... a version without the guy would be way nicer. Its the only thing stopping me from using it as my desktop. Do you think it would be possible to make a version without the stone guy? thanks

I'm pretty sure this is from '03, which would have been when vectors were still catching on, and the pen tool wasn't the weapon of choice yet. This was all done with conventional photoshop tools; hard-edge brushes, selections, gradients. No real vectors either, actually, it was all done in raster. It was a much rougher, more time-consuming way of working than the pen tool proved to be, but stylistically, it worked really well for most of the piece. The palm tree looks a little rough in hindsight, but overall it's a pretty likable piece which has aged reasonable well.
