Thanks Caspar!
im still not totally happy with the pitcher plant "drawings"..
they arent exactly what I want, but they are the best I can do with the tools available to me..
those are made from real photos of my own pitcher plants!
I went and took pictures of my pitchers, then heavily modified them in photoshop to get that "drawing" effect..then reduced them to pure B&W, then added back in pure green and pure red..
so there is really only black, green or red pixels in there..
There is a lot of excellent CP art on-line, that would work really good for a logo like this, but for a public logo we wouldnt be able to use any of it..(copyright issues) so basically I needed to create the entire logo from scratch with my own personal artwork..which is what I did..
I might still try to tweak the plants some more, I would like to make them
look more like a simple line drawing..but I want detail too..so its tricky!
this is the best I could come up with so far..
its not bad! I like it, and it might the best that photoshop is capable of creating..so this will probably end up being my final rendering!
