Splinterlands Art Contest // Week 168 //EXPLODING RATS

For this weeks contest I thought it would be kind of fun to do my version of the exploding rats.

I used this picture as a reference, and the goal was to make an animated 3d version of it. Of course that didn't quite work out, so I made my own version.

The first thing I needed was a place for the rats to be, so I built a corner using these old stone walls that had a medievil look and feel.

I added two of the three rats and some explosions, but the explosions only show up after the scene has been fully rendered.

The project was looking pretty good, but I thought it would be even better if I made the third rat invisible so you can see the explosive light inside of him, like in my reference image. So I put a glowing light material on a prop and placed it inside of him.

For added effect, I put in a few rat body parts on the first explosion. I was going to add some blood splatter, but I thought that would be to gross lol. I had a lot of fun making the exploding rats, I just hope this post doesn't bomb lol
