Competition: Battle of the Beverages - Caffeine Clash

Finished
Battle of the Beverages - Caffeine Clash

Monster

It’s time for the Graphics comp to end all Graphics comps. The one all you caffeine fiends have been waiting for . . . the Battle of the Beverages!

Prompt

All you have to do is design an in-universe energy drink. We all know caf, but we need something that our characters can pick up at their local refueling station (like the Shame Corner, hint hint wink wink) and when caf machines are in short supply.

Although it isn’t required, we highly encourage you to include a name and brief description of the energy drink in the text submission box alongside your entry.

  • Acceptable formats: .PNG, .JPG
  • Difficulty Level: Beginner. Give us your refrigerator art.
  • AI-generated: AI-generated images are not allowed.
  • Photo-manipulation: Remember to provide a link and credit for any image used in your creation
  • Useful Tools: GIMP, Photoshop, Krita, Paint Tool Sai, Clip Studio Paint, Illustrator, Firealpaca

Grading Criteria

Herald Graphics Grading Rubric + Vibes + How caffeinated do I feel after viewing? (The last two are jokes!)

Note: All entries must be original artwork and if any resources are used that are not original must be cited in the submission box.

BACTA-BOOST (Code White) - Clinical-strength energy in a can. Tastes like artificial citrus and bad decisions, packed with enough anhydrous caf to make a Miraluka see colour.
