Solar Flare Escape

A space farer tries to outrun a sudden solar flare when their spaceship was refueling near a local purple star.

My initial idea was to use flexible elements to depict a gas giant's surface with a mining platform hanging around in its atmosphere. Then, as I mixed and matched different elements, one iteration lead to another, and that's how I ended up with a completely different result.

For the solar flare I used a dinosaur tail, a Quidditch loop, and a Monkie Kid ring, a plant/claw for the spaceship's nose, and Monkie Kid cloud elements for the exhaust fumes on the spaceship.

I tried to make this piece compliant with the existing Tales of the Space Age postcards. The colors used are from the 2023 palette, but I'm not so sure if parts are too... Anyway, hope you like it!
