        I like 1 and 3 the best. Something so nice about both of them. I might prefer 1 slightly more but they were the ones that spoke to me.

          I think 1 and 3 are great concepts and I'd like to see them illustrated, but I feel like 2 has something simple and elegant going on. It fits the solitude of isolation well and doesn't leave me with the questions of 1 and 3. I'm a bit stuck filling in the blanks on what the planet/spaceship are all about in 1. In 3 it just makes me sad that she wouldn't fit through the bottle.

          That said, again I think any of those will be magical rendered. 🙂

            @carolinebautista, @Jeremy-Ross, @Coley, @Ryan-Ehr thank you for the feedback. I will chew a bit and maybe do another round of thumbnails before I proceed further :-). I love being in this stage of not commiting to any idea, but I also find it really challenge as I always feel the lack of originality in my concepts.

                I like 2 and 3 the best. I can feel the notion of isolation in these 2 the most. I get the feeling of silence, and being with oneself.

                    @Kat @Jennyann @chrisaakins, thank you for weighing in. It got me think clearer. I struggle with this prompt. I think some of my thumbnails could work, but I kind of feel it is not "IT" for me yet. I want to digg a bit more on what is isolation for me. I really like the technology isolation idea by @chrisaakins. I wish I have thoguht about that 🙂

                          Hi @xin-li Nos. 1 and 3 are so interesting. I'm curious about how you are going to color them. No. 3 is a very nice illustration, is she a siren?

                            @Mara-Price I have not given much thoughts on the color. I think I have some clear idea on the color for no.2 and 6. But I do not know about no1. and 3. In terms of the method of doing color study, I think I want to try Braden's quick mini painting approach.

                              @xin-li I like the look of 3 in your thumbnail but quite like the stories in flying to the moon to paint alone and the giant in the garden.

                                I think the bottle is most interesting and has a lot of potential for both a cool composition and presentation

                                  I like #3 best. I think the bottle composition would make a beautiful illustration 😊

                                    Thank you so much for weighing in. I am so surprised by how many vote No.3 got. Seems like the composition is quite sucessful to draw attension compared to the others.

                                    I also like the composition. But I am struggle with the concept, mainly because the feel of the illustration is not exactly how I relate to the topic of Isolation. I think I may go with no.1 or no.6 concept wise, and work on the comp a bit more before proceeding to painting.

                                    Heck, I might just paint the girl in the bottole for fun, but not for the contest :-). I am having a week off to spend extra time with my daughtor before she goes back to the kindergarten next week. So looking forward to get back to painting again next week.

                                      Actually, I like number 1. It seems very you somehow!

                                        I really like 3. What a great idea and an original concept.
