The Empty Room
Here it is folks, my first BIG personal project. I've had smaller personal projects before that I do out of class like "FISH!?" or those sticker sets, or even the 30 day challenges if you considered those projects; but this one is the first one that took the most creative juice for sure.
I've wanted to create a story that covers abandonment and boundary-respecting as well as adjacent issues for a while now, but after seeing the Empty Room Oracle card from one of @realesotarot's readings, the complete concept came to me. This story is somewhat based on real life I would say, with inspiration coming from both my own personal relationships as well as a close friend's stories of his own life.
Here is the process sketches from very rough to more polished but before I added lighting.
I also made a deep dive explaining the iconographies and symbols I used so if you're interested you can see it below:
