Skate deck Design

For this assignment, we had to create a design for a skate deck. My design began with brainstorming a concept centred around an 8-bit theme. Originally I was going to make everything literally, 8-bits but that plan fell on deaf ears, as it would take too much time to make custom sprites, and i preferred drawing. My design idea came from the concept of the old atari Donkey Kong game, the one where mario has to climb up several ladders while dodging barrels, in order to save Princess Peach. Although donkey kong is not a dinosaur, and theme we had to use was related to dinosaurs, although Mario's greatest nemesis is a dinosaur, King Bowser. So I then decided to take the concept of that old Donkey Kong game, switch Donkey Kong with a T-rex, Mario an archeologist, and barrels with fire balls. The images I did not make myself was the floor, and the fireballs which I found on the internet and traced over.

Here are the screenshots
