I wouldn't say this has any eeriness to it, but it -is- definitely mysterious. Very psychological, actually. When I read 'subtle horror', I actually thought: Claudia from Interview with the Vampire, the film, reference which was classified as 'horror' without it really being scary, except that that one jump scene.

I understand it wasn't part of the inspiration for this work but she reminds me a little of the child vampire that Kirsten Dunst played in the film Interview with a Vampire. [link] It's just what sprung to mind when I saw this and the title sort of works with that character as well since she was an adult trapped for eternity in a child's body.

Linuscat07 [2010-06-25 01:01:28 +0000 UTC]

I checked the inspiration and is was a bit creepy; so lifelike and so lifeless. Your creation, at first glance, is a lovely girl wearing a rather adult evening gown. Looking closely, I find her face has all the animation of the doll she is holding. What it all means, I have no idea. Beautiful variations of the one color. She is like the end or the beginning of a good ghost story.

Well she is actually a young adult, but still childlike in dress and manner. Therein lies the irony, she is stuck in her youth.

MissLadyMalice [2010-02-21 09:51:56 +0000 UTC]

This is beautiful, and yet so sad at the same time. It reminds me of when you are younger and try and dress up and look exactly like your idols/or dolls because that is what you think is so beautiful despite actually being well below their age. I don't know if my rambling made even the slightest sense, but I really adore this piece.
