Sometimes you don't need the lines to be perfect.

Not gonna lie, Tinker earned that second place.

Despite the many instances of the entire board becoming red spaces, I had an alright time with this board, though I can definitely see why some people don't like it.


Surprisingly enough, for a board that is on a volcano, the sky isn't usually the warm colors you'd associate with it; it's just a regular blue-ish sky. I do have a little bit of texture on the sky to show it getting a little darker up top, but it isn't too noticeable. The pain of being an artist working digital with layers: the details you spend so much time on sometimes get hidden. The ground is simple enough, it's a sort of jaggedy-looking rock, with cracks of red coming from the warm rock color.

Brustle and Tinker look a little... weird. Lines are sorta wobbly, and Tinker's head especially looks off-model. While the off-model look wasn't intentional, the wobbly lines were. To give off a feeling of fast movement, especially with hair, sometimes you don't want your lines to be as straight or perfectly curved, you want the motion affecting them. This is why I think it works here, unlike Tinker's bigger head.

The meteors came out pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. There are three layers of meteors, with each subsequent layer from the top one getting smaller, and more of a blend mode applying to them. This gives the illusion of depth, as well as adding cool background details, since the clouds in this sky are basically nonexistent. To help with the idea of these meteors chasing our two dudes, I added a red gradient hue coming from the left, to make them look more menacing.
