Indeed - it looks like you ran it through 'The Buffettiser'.

Tim did say he did this to "practice his illustrator skills" and also: "Bare in mind that this is just an early version, as I plan to add more details, textures and better colors in the future." So although it looks bland, it's still an early incarnation.

And Tim, you're not going to find many people on Tiki Central who will compliment your illustration skills if it's a copy of something else, practice or not. Even if it's just for fun, many folks take offense when original tiki art is copied. Perhaps if you use the original image as a starting point for creating something different...but still inspired by the original.

Just a suggestion...I'm no illustrator.
