@azupcsan Awesome! That's great to know Thanks!

[braden H]

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

[KathrynAdebayo]

@braden-hallett Looks awesome!

[Melissa_Bailey]

@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?

Work progresses!

[braden H]

If not done it's close to done! I'm gonna put it away for a few days and come back to it

[braden H]

Okay, with some rim light NOW it's done

[lizardillo]

Amazing!

[jenn]

@braden-hallett I love seeing how your concept evolved!

[Jeremiahbrown]

It's been really fun to watch this progress and evolve. The finished piece is significantly better which goes to show that community is kind of awesome.

[braden H]

@jeremiahbrown Definitely a product of this community and my critique group!

@braden-hallett Love it! That star-shaped hole is a perfect touch!

@braden-hallett Brilliant! Love seeing how it all came together. And the kid's manic expression really made me laugh.
