(I don't belong here)
I created the darker illustration first, using an interactive pen and tablet for the first time ever, it took at least a few days straight to create this, in order to get the exact curious or melancholy emotion coming from the main focal point of the piece.
I wanted to personify the Hotchkiss naval gun as if it were "alive" like a human being, purely to see how much contrast there is in the audience's reactions. From looking at a "lifeless" object near the wall and an "alive" object that can move but remains still, facing that wall in the dark.
Also, the chiaroscuro was important for this piece as it added intense drama which was necessary to fit with the title of the piece. The illustration wouldn't have much of a strong statement if the room was lit up brightly and would only result in a misinterpretation.
