Isolation May WIP - critiques welcome

[Jon Anderson]

@ArtofAleksey Just like @Kat I see a boy pretending to be a pirate in his living room. While I love the image as is I'm not sure right away how it relates to isolation other than an introverted only child having fun by himself. Are there clues that I missed? I do like the composition and props very much, though.

@ArtofAleksey The captain has spotted land after a long journey alone at sea. I think it's great.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Jon-Anderson yeah I actually got this same feedback from a few other art friends. I think i know what to add

[Coley]

@ArtofAleksey what a great idea. I'm totally jealous I didn't think of it first it's really gonna be a good one!

[ArtofAleksey]

@Coley you can totally do your own version of this! Ideas are served best stolen

[Coley]

@ArtofAleksey LoL I'll think about it. I'd still feel like I cheated LoL. Maybe something along the lines of a kid in a box with a big imagination tho..we used to do that all the time as kids ..will get thinking cap on.
I really think this is going to be fun!

[ArtofAleksey]

@Coley haha glad I can help inspire some creativity

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok i added the mom working from home with a suit and pj pants while the baby is yelling at her feet.

@Coley I have imagination in mine so really we are all borrowing from each other

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd you can totally borrow all my ideas at zero cost.

@ArtofAleksey haha it's the imagination part though their is a water connection -that's my only hint -it's taking a longer time working out story, characters, and bring it all together components. I have done 14 thumbnails, more than normal lols.

[ArtofAleksey]

@Heather-Boyd I did 2 thumbnails haha

[Heather Boyd]

@ArtofAleksey 48 more and you'll hit that 50 mark haha

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok whew really struggled with that draping. Any feedback? Feel free to do a draw over.
What i got so far:

[chrisaakins]

@ArtofAleksey all your people triangle on one side of the room. You might want to flip the girl and place her in the righthand corner.

[ArtofAleksey]

@chrisaakins good idea

[ArtofAleksey]

Ok i changed it up a bit, i think im gonna make the rug have blue wavy lines to look like water.

[Dima Eichhorn]

@ArtofAleksey I love your idea.

[braden H]

@ArtofAleksey Nice. I'm lovin' the draping on the fabric.

It took me a moment to switch back into teacher mode to decode the 'pierats' to 'pirates' Which means it's authentic kid spelling, lol

[ArtofAleksey]

@Braden-Hallett haha success!
