 Well I've always wanted to make a planet explode...so with the help of an online tut, learned how to do it! The Barbie is mine and the pink Tbird borrowed from a vendor at McHaffie's, as was the globe.

Greetings from the Critique Club!

Challenge - What do we do when our hobbies are denied us? Not sure how I feel about "going home" but I like that you were able to check off the bucket list of making the world blow up. (Without harming the rest of us.) A good use of time IMHO and a solid entry for "When DPC Breaks".

Earth: Love the molten lava reds and intense yellows. The colors are vivid and striking without overwhelming me. I'm not really sure what the text on the globe says or represents though. Some of it is readable and some not, which makes it hard to figure out as part of the picture's story. If you get another chance to explode third rock ... you might try varying the explosion layers. Things don't tend to explode uniformly and your red/orange rays seem more like sunlight than explosion. Where's the smoke and dark spots?

Barbie/Car: The idea is novel and fun. I like it! The melty warp to the car is odd in that if the car was designed to "go home" hopefully it wouldn't melt. But given the heat of the explosion ... meh I'm sold. :) Although a case could be made for the front half of the car to be "ok" and the rear to be melty. A perspective thing I guess. Details on Barbie's face are clear and she's smiling so it can't be all bad.

I hope Ken escaped...
