Loose interpretation, loose illustration. I was feeling very 'loose' when doing this, as you can tell. I'm not even sure if it'll fly, since it's very...abstractly astronomical, but I can try. And rhyme, apparently. I guess I was sort of thinking about what would happen if you applied the old 'tortoise and hare' story to something like... you know, making the universe...galaxy...world, with the hare rushing to make as many as he could and the tortoise carefully crafting just a few. Like earth or something. Is your heart warm and fuzzy yet?
Something something 'earth is on the back of a giant turtle' something something inspired by Watership Down somewhere with the rabbit gods with star eyes maybe a little, something something I am SO UNBELIEVABLY CHEESY I KNOW, SHUTTING UP FOREVER NOW.
Six colors on navy.

Oh man, I really really like the style on this one. The lines are so expressive and the subtle background is perfect. Awesome job, gmv.

Re: Racing to Make Worlds
Hahaha. Well, I wasn't too sure about this design until I read your description. You've succesfully sold me on it 
I'll just print that out and transfer it to an iron-on and slap it on the back of the shirt when I get it so people will understand ;) I LOVE the style on this, by the way. +1

Re: Racing to Make Worlds
Hope this one makes it to the 3! Non-cutesy rabbits are totally my animal of the moment, and this concept is odd enough to really suit an oddball like me =)

Re: Racing to Make Worlds
Love, love love the way you illustrated the planets, hare, and turtle.
Not fond of the composition, though. Otherwise, you'd certainly have my vote. Can't wait to see what you do next.
