Description Clock details:


I did a lot of thinking while working on this piece.

Time is so important in our world.
We are constantly under stress, running from one place to the next, trying to accomplish things and fulfill tasks at given deadlines.

It is difficult to find a moment to rest, think and be in peace.

Some never realize that time is relentless and will go on until it's too late. Time will continue flowing, inflexible.
Waters will turn rocks into sand, castles into ruins... day will follow night day after day, week after week, month after month, year after year and century after century.

Womankind is blind at the fact that there are so many other important things in life (like showing love to and caring for our beloved ones daily, like enjoying the small things around us, like making a stop to feel the breeze or sunshine touching our skins) which are left aside while we run towards success or goals.

Time is relentless. Every second gone... is gone.
It will never be back.
Think about that.






This work took me two weeks working an average of 4 hours daily and I used exactly 80 layers. I am happy with it because I did my best... and I want to dedicate it to and .

To Ebru, because of her encouragement, friendship and love. She awed me with her painting skills and I used her last tutorial to understand some more about how to use brushes to paint (most of the clocks have been retouched by painting them) and because she always encourages me so much .

To Christian, because of his support, encouragement and friendship. Since we first got in touch he started giving me advise, sending me notes with information and links, sharing his knowledge with me, teaching me how to improve. He has very little time, still he manages to be there when I have a question.

You all know this is my 4th photomanipulation.

To some of my friends, who may have asked themselves what was wrong with me, that I've been absent for so long, I will tell more in my next journal. I've been using my DA time for something very moving and important... I'll explain there.

Just a challenge to see what one can do

Dear M.
It is a wonderful work but i really wondered why it did get less favs?
I m giving u my chance for the contest, good luck dear. It is super

Manwathiell In reply to RezzanATAKOL [2009-09-23 01:13:43 +0000 UTC]

You mean less faves than the rest of my works?
Or less faves than the rest of the works in the contest ?
I really have no clue!

I am happy if my friends like it and I am happy with the
effort I did here. More time to do it would have meant doing it
better (I never did something like this so fast, it was very
difficult!)

While my friends like it, I am happy!
You are very sweet, Rezzan!

I was meaning that dear, it is wonderful but u got little faves for it. Why?
Sometimes some stupid works have much faves.I hope u can win with it, really i wish that cos i really like it)
Sorry for my horrible English(

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Manwathiell In reply to RezzanATAKOL [2009-09-28 00:17:24 +0000 UTC]

Well, probably because
a) taste is a personal matter (so I like it, you like it,
many like it, but its no masterpiece ),
b) I dont have huge quantity of friends!

If you feel better, the rest of the works on the contest
but one - have less faves. However, not sure if faves will
make a work win.
Guess it depends on the quality (if the contest is serious).

this is so creative & unique. Your hard work shows through beautifully. the details make it hard not to linger & enjoy, which I'm doing! good luck in the contest, you should feel great about entering this wonderful piece.

Manwathiell In reply to chibiharuka [2009-09-23 01:29:11 +0000 UTC]

I am so happy that you visited this piece!
I learned a long time ago never to enter any contest
thinking only about winning. You never know! So I really
enjoyed the challenge of thinking about something, and
then I did the best I could.

If my friends like it and if I learn during and after doing
it, then I already won!

Thanks for wishing me good luck (I don't even know if there
are prizes for this nothing has been said )

chibiharuka In reply to Manwathiell [2009-09-25 00:57:42 +0000 UTC]

doing your very best & pleasing yourself should be first on your list. support from your friends can be super encouraging & motivating, but contest can often be a popularity contest not based truly on your art. So, I believe you're right about enjoying the challenge & doing your best. Those are the most fulfilling I still wish you luck in the contest!

Manwathiell In reply to chibiharuka [2009-09-25 20:18:28 +0000 UTC]

In fact, it is like that...If a work doesnΒ΄t please me, I wouldnΒ΄t submit it...
and if I didnΒ΄t have fun, I wouldnΒ΄t really do/finish it!
So, you got a point there

I was told so... that contests can have a lot to do with friendships and such...
I think that is kind of dumb, but yet understandable.

The issue here is, I really had fun!! And thanks for your wishes, again

Hello, Christian!
Take your time! It's the best way to enjoy...
It's not perfect at all, but the best I could do in the
time I had (and with the concept I decided to use).
I'm still a beginner hitting and missing all the time
