	HAHAHA... the Hatch! this challege will be really interesting! ok, here are more ideas: Teleporting step on a mine. open a treasure chest in Zelda Games.(Ta da da daaa~) Miner who found gold an opponent being hit by Ken's Shoryu-ken etc. I Think i've got my own idea. the city iluminates the character as he falls from the Sky. (animated of course)

	Well, Sax will get illuminated from the DDR arrows, I personally don't see anything wrong with this, I feel it fits within the rules, but I'll make it darker, with purple lights and maybe some blue.

	@AdamPlays: I liked the colors on your first post of it the best. I'd say if you wanted to up the contrast, up it on just the pig, spit and fire. Return the figures, sky and ground to the original colors. Also, maybe (IMHO), go from high saturated colors on the underside to black on the mid side to ambient lighting on the back. I love the composition and the style of the figures. Edited by Yar - 04 April 2007 at 6:27pm
