I changed the idea and composition to a more symbolic concept. I used the fox again as representation of my artistic journey and the the left and right drawings contrast in detail and skill to represent my art's evolution over time.
It took me a while to come up with a concept that strayed away from what I consider cliché, like life and death, and I came up with a couple of ideas to start off with. My first composition displays the inevitable loss of childhood we all experience as we age. My concept is that our childhood memories eventually start to dissolve and we can't remember exactly everything as it was when we viewed the world through young eyes. My second picture is considerably more lighthearted. The composition shows a bridge branching out into the sky that signifies infinite opportunities that life gives us. In the sky is an antique light fixture with plants and a mini sculpture of a woman inside it that I found in my great grandfather's house years ago. I thought it looked cool in the sky and I feel that it can represent new beginnings since that object has not been admired in so long yet I am admiring it now. I am still working on this one so I might tweak some things before I call it finish...
I messed around with my ideas and decided I wanted to do a composition consisting of a metaphorical metamorphosis of despair to happiness. I liked the idea of growth like a flower blooming and evolved the concept from there. Heres my first concept picture:
