Nice usage of lighting and the dusty textures to give off that desired "antique" feeling.

Great. Reminds me of Oddkins: A Fable for All Ages by Dean Koontz.

Thanks a lot! I certainly don't mind; quite the opposite in fact

Reminds me of Ernest Hemmingway's favourite story he ever wrote, also his shortest:
"Baby shoes for sale, never worn"
Really intriguing.

Aww, yeah, I guess that could be a story that goes with this picture as well. I intended for these toys to just be waiting for a new child though, after the previous one grew up

So cute! ^^ Again, very nice with the lighting, and I can see a bit of dust there, too.

This could surely be one page in a great children book. What you could add is little more emotions for those toys... Like glint of sadness for the bear.

Thank you I wanted the toys to be happy and positive, always looking at the bright side of things, and ready to make someone happy. But thanks for feedback!
