First Sketches

I wanted to convey the existential emptiness of the Protagonist but at the same time the risk of self-knowledge through the journey to the artists' colony on the tropical island.

Final Illustration

I've worked the final image in a mysterious way, giving prominence in the background to the silhouette in the water.
