      What's the story behind the volcano?

      Time methinks to redraw things! The volcano is meant to be an impact crater from the star 🙂

        the concept isn't clear.

        Better to know now than to discover it later after submission 😃

        Time to take another pass at the crater!

          @braden-hallett ahhh, I see now. If there were some smoking stars visible and sticking out in the crater that would show what was going on. On another note... I would love to be able to draw human characters and expressions like you do!

            I like that idea! I'll see what I can do 🙂

              Does register as a bit more a crater instead of a volcano now?

                @braden-hallett This reads way more clearly! I love the perfect star indentation in the crater. It made me laugh.

                    Bigger star is better star! I think I may give the kid some oven mitts 😃

                        @braden-hallett YES! Concept is WAY more clear and I love the dripping star!

                        Is it still hot? Could it still be smoking or glowing? Love the idea of the oven mitts. Shows the boy's determination and ingenuity.

                        👍👍

                          @Braden-Hallett First of all kudos to the great silhouette of the main character with the reflected light on the rock face. What an ingenious way to solve this problem.

                          I wonder if the perspective of the crater is wonky. With it being raised so much it still reads as a caldera rather than an impact crater. What if you let the background ground extend more past the crater? or flattened the crater a little? I mean it still reads well and I am being a nitpicky ex-science person here...

                            @braden-hallett It hasn't been mentioned and I think it would help that perhaps the boy would be singed a bit after all he did grab hold and lift the star into his wagon, and if it has left little glowing parts behind it would have left something on him. I liked more smoke personally.

                              @braden-hallett love this!the idea is phenomenal! I d seriously consider giving the boy an animal friend, to share his joy of finding this huge treasure.Shared joy is double the joy!!

                                I think that's probably my best bet! I'll do that 🙂

                                I'm thinking of adding some oven mitts! He definitely would be a tad singed 🙂 I'll be adding the smoke back in once I've figured a few other things out

                                Perhaps some terrified wildlife still shocked by the blast from the impact?
