The world had ended. Apocalypse has come! Create your own Mobile Post-Apocalyptic Shelter. It has to be able to support min. 1 family indefinitely, so draw out your solar panel and mini-farm. Don't forget the water storage and fuel system. It could be one gigantic shelter or a couple of them together. It's up to your own impetration, but the most important thing is IT HAS TO BE ARMED! Remember, monsters are everywhere.  (You can draw a fighting jet with a solar panel as an outer panel or just a couple of hippies armed to the teeth with their own home on wheels.)   

Note:  Drawing the vehicle's tenant is optional; you can just draw the vehicle. Animation can be used to show a hidden function of the vehicle or show the cross-section image of the vehicle.

Canvas - Open.
Color - Max 32 (you have to use the Aerugo Palette by Lizalot)
Transparancy - Optional.
Animation
Optional.
