Weekly Challenge: 10/30 - Cafe Drink
Welcome to the first weekly challenge!
This week's challenge is a cafe beverage! It can be a coffee, a tea, a bubble tea or any other drink that could come from a cafe. As always, it doesn't need to be pixel art.
This challenge will run until 11/4. I'll feature all the art from participants for that week in a global announcement on 11/5. You are always welcome to participate in the challenge after that but you won't be included in the feature.
Here are some examples of cafe drinks that I've made in the past:
Excited to see what everyone makes!

Re: Weekly Challenge: 10/30 - Cafe Drink
Here's my entry!
Might not seem like a typical cafe drink, being a glass bottle of soda, but Afri-cola is a German cola that, in the 90s, was only available in two metropolitan areas in the USA - mine being one of them. And you could typically only get it in cafes and coffee shops. It championed itself as having the highest caffeine content allowed by law (not sure if that's true or not tho). it disappeared from the USA for a while and then got picked up by some soda distributor again in the 2010s, I believe, but still had/has limited availability in the states.
My roommate in the 90s worked at the only coffee shop in my city that you could find it for a couple of years. So I drank a lot of it.
At any rate, here's my Afri-Cola entry for this challenge!

It's not 100% to my liking but I focused on giving the top edge a thicker/more rounded shape
