Alena (Itidaki Street) (honestly dont know is this is part of the Mario universe she was just on the list so I assumed)


(Yes I know it absolutely sucks)

There's already a Rosalina. Read the rules again.

Honestly, I'm too tired to care. I've been worrying about too much lately and gotten barely any sleep so I'll try another character that I don't know.

I actually really like your new one!

"Natural Disasters" Challenge

With this week's challenge we are going to revisit a page of the D.C.U.'s history book and take another look at "Natural Disasters". But before you begin, it is not the challenge you think. Instead of selecting a random storm or disaster you fancy this is different. With this challenge you need to pick a natural disaster that you do not want to ever experience if ever possible, or have happen again if you have had it happen once before. It is time to face your fear of mother nature and come face to face with that destruction that has been wrought or could be wrought down upon you at any given moment. So put you creative thinking caps on for this one folks, and let's see what you can bring to the table this week. Be sure to follow all requirements and rules.

~REQUIREMENTS~

1.) You must keep all designs you create with in one and only one design post. It doesn't matter if you edit it numerous times. Anything outside of the post will not count.
2.) You must provide a reference picture of the natural disaster that drives fear with in you. A disaster that you would love to never experience or see again if you have once before.
3.) You must provide a brief description of why you chose that natural disaster, and how it strikes fear with in you.
4.) You must create something beautiful from that fear in the shape of a pet design. Or if you would rather create a different digital piece, real life sketch or what have you..Just remember to keep it all to one post.
5.) Your designs cannot be bigger than the example below.


~RULES/GUIDELINES~

1.) All core group rules are in play!
2.) Don't be afraid to ask for help, feedback and or anything. We are here for you!

~EXAMPLE~

Chosen Natural Disaster: Tornadoes


I both fear and love tornadoes. But the real reason I fear them much like I do with hurricanes...If you know they are coming well in advance now a days. The beast rears it's ugly head and bares down on you in such unforgiving ways. Most of the them destructive and non-lethal when in low stages, but the bigger the storm the bigger the threat. And no real amount of protect can save you from it. It is like the finger of God coming down to smite you. But from afar can be one of the most beautiful things you could bare witness to. The scariest point for me though with a tornado was when I was young. My mom wasn't home, and my dad told my sister and I to wait in the hall where we could be protected from the storm. He went out to see if she was coming down the street. He was gone for a long time...So I told my little sister to wait and I would just go to the porch only and see...I didn't step but one foot out before being sucked into the backyard fence by a twister that was not more than a street over from ours. Thankfully my father returned in time to save me. He was a big man, but all the same did I get a lecture that night. My mom was forced to take refuge at work with her co-workers. Outside of a big of damage, everyone was okay. I don't want to experience being sucked in by a tornado ever again.

What if you haven't experienced a natural diaster?

Volcanic eruptions. This is a very scary thing and if caught near one it is very hard to escape. The lava moves very quickly as the sky fills with smoke. Covering the ground with ashes.

Tsunamis


Although tsunamis may sound beautiful, they bring destruction in their wake. It would be traumatizing to see a 30-feet tall wave roar towards you. The screams of dying people and the roar of water make it worse. Did you know that drowning is the second most common cause of death?


Earthquakes


Earthquakes are truely deadly. The rumble of the earth shakes fear into the hearts of many. People are trapped under rubble, and buildings are destroyed. Did you know that an earthquake in Chile actually slowed the Earth's rotation?


Year Without A Summer


Volcanoes can be destructive, but this one is supernatural. The eruption of Mt. Tambora changed the entire world's climate for a whole year! So many diasters and deaths happened that it felt like an apocalypse! Did you know that the famous novel Frankenstein was penned during this time?
