So after reading the Buzzfeed article for Millennial Burnout, my idea was to put a stressed person smoking a cigarette on a balcony. Then she would exhale smoke with cloud-like terms that relate to a stressed out person. The choice to use a cigarette is to convey her being stressed and makes use of drugs to alleviate it. I choose an anime art style because it is the only one I can unfortunately do. I also originally thought about putting a building behind the smoke instead of a dark sky but I think it gives maximum attention to the terms.

Below is the first initial sketch, then essentially a more cleaned-up version that basically is what I used to finish the final.
