Isolation WIP rough sketch, please critique

@Taigyo this is a funny concept. My initial concern is that the cave doesn't read that well. Maybe some context in the foreground?

@chrisaakins Thanks!

@Taigyo Nice sketch! I like the concept here.
Just a couple of "I wonders" for your consideration:
I wonder how it would feel if the bear were in more of an "I'm hibernating, but have insomnia" type position, like they are lying down and looking at the phone in a more lazy posture.
I wonder if you might get some more dramatic isolation effect if the lighting were solely from the phone. Maybe that's what you're going for anyway, but it feels like light is spilling further around the bear 's environment and on its forearm that makes it feel like it's coming from outside the cave.

@Christijan Good points. I was going for just cellphone light but it sounds like I need to push it a little further (I am one of those people that is a bit afraid of the dark when it comes to pictures). I will also explore some more postures with some thumbnails. This one kind of popped into my head and I wanted to capture it before it left. Thanks!

does this capture the cell phone light idea a bit better? Now that I have posted it I see I should probably darken up outside the cave as well.

Maybe give him bleary eyes of show signs of a bed in disarray? That would make the concept clearer. Silly me didn't get it at first, but once I did it was obvious. Man, I know the feeling!
