Description
a tiny little boring story as to what went into creating this piece. lately i have been feeling that no matter how hard i try, or how much time i spend on something, that it ends up being pure crap. just a lot of self doubt and negative thinking on my part, as well as taking criticisms way too seriously, like if one person doesnt like something i did, it had to suck immensely. it was getting to a point over the last couple weeks where i would just delete and give up on everything i started. at any rate, after some much needed friendly and reassuring advice from a few friends, i decided to try again, and im actually pretty happy with the results of this piece. not everyone will like it, and im sure there will be people to point out my mistakes in it. but what matters to me, is that the quality of this piece, as far as my own strength in this area is concerned, has improved from earlier attempts at similiar projects. and thats what matters most...growing as an artist. i would especially like to thank *neosynthetic for cheering me up a bit tonight and for inviting me to the wonderful world of [n]i would also like to thank the people whose lovely stocks made this piece a reality.

amazing manip.. i just dont understand how my devwatch missed this. cant really go into details (busy!!) but i love this.. you are fast becoming one of my favourite photo manipulators.. simply because your style isnt as pseudo and redundant as most others with the same ol' work. keep it up

nice job on this!
creepy! for some reason i'm reminded of A.I.,...
like this is the remnants of some forgotton entity,...
left on a trash heep.
damn,...A.I. made me a little sad,...now THIS is making
me sad! hrmm!
really nice story as well.
as for criticism,...you know,...you always have to
consider the source.
plus,...as time goes by,...your skin'll a get thicker,...
in some ways that's a good thing,...maybe in a few
ways,...not so good. *shrug*
good work though!

This looks cool........... very grungy and earthy ...................it seems to sum up your self doubt and negativity, as if there is something holding you down/back.
The hearts seem to suggest to me that you feel exposed and vulnerable. Maybe this is the curse of every creative person, perhaps it is needed to reassess and rethink motives, approaches, etc.........
love it.

This rocks! It looks like you actually tossed the dolls onto a pile of sticks and lit them on fire. That, or you took their heads off, burnt them, and riveted them back onto logs....It's weird, cool, and deserves a good long look. So

please don't be disappointed of yourself.
i've seen you growing as an artist, make things more prominent and full of meaning, more artistic even.
you've just started a brilliant evolution, don't turn your back at it.
as for the piece, i love the burnt tones and the eerie feeling. it seems like these dolls are burning from the inside. and the texture-dress worked very nicely. well done on that

hoy..
your blending turned out rather nicely..
this ccould go in sisterhood with my Cute as A Kid piece
.. the viney look around their dresses is great..
you should make love to the textures we released at [link] hun, I bet you'd rock 'em nicely.
improve as an artist?
aye..
and improving, you are indeed.
