#4 out of 46 entries I am the undisputed 4th champ of all time 😂 My entries follow such predictable score patterns; I called 4th place with a score of 1587 (I was 3 off) about 8 hours ago. Made it up to 1631 this time with 90 votes before speeding down much like the mine cart.

Entry in the Runaway Mine Cart challenge.

About this image

This whimsical 3D animated illustration features a panicked young female miner with braided red hair speeding down a rickety cliffside mine track in a rusted runaway cart marked "Good Intentions Bad Brakes", alongside a tiny yellow bird companion also outfitted with a miner headlamp. The comedic adventure scene is filled with playful sarcastic wooden warning signs, warm glowing lantern lighting, and a dramatic mine setting overlooking a rushing waterfall, leaning into lighthearted humor about chaotic, unplanned misadventures. Rendered in a charming, vibrant Pixar-style art direction, the illustration balances tense, high-action energy with silly, relatable comedy.

Bummer... you are really the Murphy Kid of BP 😅 That said, I might be one of those who caused your 4th position - I didn't vote the 2 times it came up because I thought it lacked the intensity of a runaway mine cart compared to the other. But I guess many others loved it more and got you to 4th!

Maybe so, but well done nevertheless. Top 10 still an achievement and to be top 4 as often as you are is quite a feat. I loved this entry, and glad it got in among the realistic dramatic images featuring beautiful women.

I edited it all in soon after the challenge ended. In @vrieming blog comments it was confirmed. Gonna have to see how many times. I’ve added like 4 or 5 more since the blog!

I love that, "good intentions, bad brakes" "plans another day" , yep once your plans for the day run away from you, you're in trouble. Hilarious pic. Congrats on top 5!

Congratulations on fourth! No one can say you aren't consistent! It's a really fun image, I'm glad you're on the board with it, even if it is fourth.

Quite alright, I really didn't have high expectations for this. I wasn't feeling this theme at all. Ran 3-4 images and just went with the best one.

Thanks! I just couldn’t help but have fun with a theme I didn’t like. It is a true metaphor for life!
