Entry in the Your Daily / BP Challenge Extras #02 theme on BudgetPixel.

**UNSUBMITTED ENTRIES** ----- BP Challenge: **Living Shadow** *Placed 8/45 in below link:* https://budgetpixel.com/p/83879 ----- 1) Felt like shadow had a double face from the hair shadow 2) Not chaotic enough 3) I actually loved this one and thought to submit this 4) shadows too detailed 5) I loved the concept when I conjured this. But it felt too heartbreaking 6) The idea is that the lady is lonely but her shadow has her own family. It can also be misconstrued as the dread of returning home or a divorcee leaving her child. Hence I dropped it for the various levels of misunderstandings. Afterall, I was blocked by someone that misunderstood me over a post someone else made on liberalism.
