JULY ILLUSTRATION CONTEST: INDEPENDENT

[NoWayMe]

Here is mine!
I was hesitant at first to to such a sad illustration. However I just couldn't get the idea out of my head, so I decided to go with it.

@katrina-fowler I love the simplicity! That's not so easy as it looks. Cute style!

@pinky Great work But you have to put your name on the image.

@nowayme Okay, thanks! I'll give it another shot.

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.

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