Updating concept art/exploring ideas

idea 7:

update I

I took a second look at the graffiti inspiration and tried to approach the outline differently, trying to use shadow and lightning to help convey the shape. This was fun and new to me since I haven't really practiced drawing shadows in a convincing manner, as in one light source, a lot.

My idea was to have different light sources for each character, related to their respective perspective pose; the focus was to have the shadows leading "withIN" the centre. Perhaps I could make the inside character have a white outline and stand out in a complimenting manner. We'll see how it goes upon further developments.
