The Sun's finally had enough and decides to pack up and leave, much to Pluto's delight.

The planets are left in shock, a flabbergasted Earth must be comforted by the indignant moon........

Hmmmmm, seems to me some inspiration for this was taken from the winner of shirt.woot.com's "Quitters" derby...

what in the world is going on.
i read your comment, but i don't see any of that going on in the actual design. am i just not getting it?

^same

hey! i can assure you that my inspiriation wasnt that cause i have absolutely no idea what it is!!!

okey doke here goes!

blue and green one = earth
little purple one waving his fist = moon
big yellow thing = sun
little pink thing laughing on the BACK= pluto
big collection of round things = planets in shock

yes i can see that, but your explanation of the concept is that the sun is moving away. and it doesn't look like that's the case int he illustration.

for some reason all the planets are in a bunch and the sun is closer to them than ever.

it would help your concept if all the planets were at least looking in the sun's direction. right now they're looking at us (the viewer) in shock as if we've done something to surprise them. also if the sun had something like a little suitcase, something humourous to demonstrate that he is indeed decidign to move.

ps. i'm confused about the planet on top of the sun, is that a second saturn? if so, what's the meaning of it being on top of the sun?

i can see what you mean, i know its not perfect, im a bit of a noob and im just getting to grips with it you see lol

i was having trouble trying to keep the sun large but giving it a sense of leaving (the little thing on the sun was actually a hat thats how i was trying to give the impression)

the planets were together to try and give and impression of them being united in shock kinda.
the looking in the viewers direction was intentional, i want to give a kinda OMG feel!

i thought that it was saturn on top of the sun too.

that's so cute that what i thought was a planet is actually a hat. if you'd only change it to brown it would completely look like a hat.

overall i think it's a really adorable idea but it needs some tweaking because most people can't really tell what's going on. you might want to put this into the critiques section if you still feel like working on this one, the people in there can help you along as you make different steps to changing it.

haha! it was brown originally!! but i reached my colour limit so i had to change it!!

i kinda knew this wouldnt do to well, im just happy to have my first design in voting as sad as that may sound lol, ive submitted a couple of others which are way better than this, hopefully theyll get accepted, make sure you look out for them!!

i did submit a design for critique but it kind got blanked and i didnt get any feedback for my second version soooo........

But the sun's smiling. It doesn't look like he's had enough.

suitcases! the sun needs suitcases! and yeah a hat that looks like a hat.

I second the suitcase Idea. It looks like he is wearing Saturn on his head.
