Disclaimer !

The left and the right image are totally independent from the other but are one image that can be split into two ( I may post the pics as individual pieces later )

I wanted to make a piece that covered two types of isolation the first one being group isolation and the second being self isolation . Keeping in mind I wanted to show these two types of isolation in two different ways . I covered group isolation by using large contrast between the foreground and background and main character and crowd figures . I wanted to show that when you are rejected by a group they seem to be simple and cool and would tend to make you feel like you could never fit in because there is so much you would have to do to change. Where I did the opposite for the image on the right . I wanted to go for more of an illustrated look like when a hero ( or any character ) is faced with a really hard choice and has time to think on it but feels like they have to do it alone . Using more of a direct light source and a dark background and floor area puts the center of attention on the man . The type of isolation I was going for in the image on the right was self isolation ( shuch as after a loss of a freind or loved one ) and have hinted to the backstory of the character in the image ( they are not in a prison cell but an ally way ) .
