Shimpaku Design Help

I saw this tree posted here on BT...

I don't do a lot of virtuals but I was intrigued by this tree so I thought I would give it a shot.

After working on it for a short time and achieving something I liked, I decided to just post the virtual image back to BT.

However, as I was trying to describe my reasoning for the changes I made in the virtual I decided it would just be easier to make a video.

So, if you can look past all the uhhhs and duhhs I hope the video embedded below will be helpful in understanding the reasoning for the design changes I suggested.
