JULY ILLUSTRATION CONTEST: INDEPENDENT

Dennis Spaans · 30 Jul 2017, 19:24

This was one of my longest projects so far. I wanted to get everything right: the lighting, the colors, the perspectives and of course the 'joke'... I think we can almost all relate to something like this: stuck at work, dreaming to be the star of what you want to do most: drawing/cartooning/guitar player etc. I tried to really have a contrast between a warm fuzzy dream, and the cold almost clinical-like hardness of reality ;). Hope you like it!

Always found the greatest independance while travelling, mostly while getting lost.

@bnewman
Your clouds are beautiful! The buttons/pins are a fun idea--they add interest & extra detail without detracting from the main content.

@harveywalls @miriam is right, your winning entry is spot on!
