So I guess this is one of the most personal pieces I've done...it's just a result of things I've been thinking about lately.
I somehow got thinking about that phrase 'no man is an island'...but really, aren't all just separate islands with our own ecosystems and habitats, drifting wherever time and chance will take us? And whenever we take a chance and cross a few oceans, things can be amazing. Or things go south. But initially, it's just that...fear of the unknown and it's depths, like monsters under the bed. When you mistake shadows for something more, or when things are there lurking and you don't really want to know what it is. But, there are always lights no matter how distant or bright that will (hopefully) guide us where we need to go.
Anyway....art wise composition in this was pretty challenging. I wish I'd saved some progress shots because I changed a lot throughout the process. I wanted the flowers to have 'galaxies' underneath them but I don't think they turned out very well. XD Oh well....
