Description For *HiddenYume-stock "Clockwork Dreams" contest

Details:


Almost 200 layers on main image + 90 on the "view from the window", literally weeks of works.. Every night I sat behind my computer and worked on it.. Some crashes, some mid-results I were not happy but But I am very happy with the final result. I have tried before making steampunk images but apparently it have not worked.. Now I have something finished.


Have you ever felt that you are the wrong person in wrong place?

She was always the smart one and also the brave one. Maybe little crazy daring to things other would not and taking every opportunity that knocked in her door. She wanted to become engineer or airship pilot and she dreamed one day building her own ship and taking an eternal voyage to sunset.. she dreamed of glory and making history, chancing something, leaving mark of herself.. But she was just a girl and dreamer.. When they found her and asked if she wanted to serve her country and do big things, she said yes. She had the ambition. She had the will and dreams and so they recruited her to special ops. She was signed to operation "Clockwork".

Some wars are not fought on battlegrounds. Some wars are fought the way we never know they happened. Some battles are kept behind the curtains and sometimes they are never fought with swords or guns but instead of minds and information. Information is sometimes a greater power than any army can be. With right information you know where the weaknesses of enemies are. You can know where they will be and what they will do and you can be one step in front of them, anticipate every move they make and have time to come up with best strategy. That was the purpose of operation "Clockwork".

They knew that her strength was not in skills with weapons or physical strength but it was her mind.. She was smart and she was clever,seeing patterns and details everyone else could miss. So they sent her to infiltrate the enemy, to go behind the lines of battlefield and send her on her own to the mission. She was just a girl, dreamer. She had no qualification, no training.. Just her sincerity, her belief that she was doing the right thing... left alone behind enemy lines with mission to find the information they required.. She did her best.. At least she tried but she was wrong person on wrong place.. she was dreamer not some kind of soldier.. she was the one who believed into beauty and building things.. not in war and destroying.. But she loved the files.. she loved the reading.. but she was dreamer.. and she just leaned to the ladder, closed her eyes.. and dreamed..

And operation "Clockwork" was not going like clockwork...

I love that you have a story with your pictures. They make the pictures stand out more and really help me see the little details I would have otherwise missed.

A wonderful, beautiful piece. The poor girl, a dreamer forced to awaken when all she wants to do is sleep and rest her weary eyes form the harsh world. A lovely piece. Great job.

Am I the only who thinks this? This piece exactly reminds me of a scenery in the movie 'A Series of Unfortunate Events'. Love it!

I wonder if you ever watch the movie too
