Description This is another artwork from an older project around a world habitable by small puppets.This took me over a month to complete but actually didn't work on it every day.So,what I remember is that I spend more 40 hours.I used photoshop cs4 and corel painter x.The figure of the girl puppet was based on my mother's look,(yeah,shes young compare to my age)so she was a great inspiration to me for the specific character.

Print size is 3976x5967.

Again,Thank you all for looking and thank those who recently added me to their watch list and I didn have the time to thank them personally.

Wuiiiii, cute :3

What is the story behind it? I just would like to now more about these puppets
By the way: I love the view of the city - I would like to live in this little house were the girl it sitting in

ManthosLappas In reply to Mutabi [2009-02-13 16:58:20 +0000 UTC]

Thank you dear Yea,here is the top secret story
I just kidding!Well,It was back in 2005 when I had the idea to make a story and a world around dolls/puppets,the truth is that I like too much cute characters
So ,the story is about a small town (the one that is seen in the background) and it focuses on this little girl and how she lives alone away from that town.There are some characters like the one from puppet lover who live in that town but there are not like the kindest person in the world.Instead, the gentle character of that blond little puppet has caused her to live alone away from a greedy and ignorant town.But not all the people are bad there ,there is a boy who is really nice hearted and our heroine loves him secretly .So the main story goes around those characters and much more who I dont have present yet in artworks.I really dont know what will happen with this project,I guess that many times those things are depend on peoples demand.To make it a possible book or even an animation series,etc.

By the way,I would also love to live there And mostly is a reason that I created this isolated but yet beautiful place,I imagined my self as the little puppet living there...

Thank you honey,I appreciate both comments and support Add me to your msn if you use it.Its easier for me at the moment and then I could talk on skype too.

Hi Tabea!Yes,I do have some rough concepts which I plan to make them in some decent illustration to upload more artwork from the other character too.I do like using some meanings behind my stories and more even to be based in true events of the world we live in...thank you again for your comment dear,I will update with any news on this one.

Wow Manthos, this one is really beautiful. I really like the drawing style and the detail you've put into this one is awesome. The composition of the tree house in the foreground and the beautiful background behind it looks brilliant as well. Well done mate.

Hi there Zois!Thank you very much for this nice comment my friend,Its very appreciated!Glad you like it also,It gave me a real hard time to make it.I dont make too often night themes and it was kinda challenging to me.I also like the style in this one as I used in the past to do that for many jobs I used to do for children artworks.See you again my friend!

She may be alone in a small area, but it actually looks very warm and comforting, must be the orange light against all the blue background. Both of which contrast well

Hey Matt!First of all welcome back Thank you for your comment man,you are right about those notifications.What I wanted to do was to create an atmosphere where different elements and feelings would
contradict each other.Eventually it would give me the desired result.Warm colors and the cute little characters help the girl not to feel actually alone despite the fact that she is.As we well know in arts something is effective shown
when we present its opposite part.Cold/warms etc.
