Artist's Comments

Heeee... I got hooked into these darling things... Now my mind is filled by the grotesque dismantled boy-dolls. This time, I tried to accomplish even more surrealistic vision. The poses and personalities come as a flow of consciousness. I named this 'Vanity' because it seemed so proud, even though it also seems to be vanishing.

I seriously don't know why I love them without the lower bodies. It's weird but it appeals to me.:heart:

The only advice I can see to give would to be to make the hair and right hand look less papery and 2D. But it is a wonderful concept, and an awesome piece. Nice work.

Hummmm... I'm quite satisfied on the right hand (right from the doll's point of view anyways...) and the hair... Actually, I'm more dissappointed on the left hand. But, as i'm not attempting to create realistic images, but mere images from my mind, I don't really mind it being like that.

But, thanks anyways! ^ 3^

I do think I appreciate these surrelistingly characteristic and innovative dolls of yours maybe even more of I am fond of them, and I am so stunned of not only your enthusiasm to create and work, but also your own style and touch that seem to have developed so much in such a small time.
Or perhaps it is that you've found your inspiration?

Still, this is my absolute favourite of all your deformedly twisted dolls thus far, while I do am complelled by all the dulled and subtle hues the others have, and to the same theme of surralistically twisting forms, still this one seems somehow more binded as an entirety than the other works.
I love the flowing pose, wich is creates the composition, and at the same time is compositioned in a so balanced manner to where my gaze ends, drowning in his form and shape, on the details that it shifts into.
And I think... I think that my most favourite part of this work is his hands. How his fingers create such excuisitely beautiful forms, and how thye are so refined, how the shape and line is so controlled in them, still keeping the from flowing like a free thought.

Love it fella, you really have succeeded a new level in your own style and touch, in your craft. :heart:

Oh... Thank you very much:heart:

I had a very gloomy day after I had finished the third one, and I was feeling really down about the second and the third doll... It felt like they had no emotion in them, and that they were just spinoffs from the original one's creativity... But the next day (when I got out of the house before nightfall XD ) I felt a lot better, and agreed that the second one is okay too. X3
I still don't like the third... it feels like numb. It looks like nothing. While I'm satisfied to the techniques used in these, and how fast and without really thinking I crafted these three, I'm not happy about them being so... bleak emotionally. But oh well, this was one of my first projects with some kind of search for a feeling.:heart:

You really lifted my spirits about these dolls of mine... :heart::heart::heart:
...and now I feel like I want to do more of them, I was already planning to stop there... ^ 3^

Oh, I am really so glad if I managed to lift your spirits, especially while I did mean everything I said, like I do mean the things I say while commenting.
And I do hope, that even though you would think that you'd want more of your works, and you'll work more to achieve that level, that you wouldn't feel too down about it... :heart:
I know how sometimes the works you do feel like failures, and even though whatever people say, they are fialures to you. ...and that is the feeling that stays... I have found that if there are works indeed that seem somehow... unsatisfactory, somehow just empy, but not like total fialures, it can help to jsut work on more of them...
I am intenting to do the same for the 1001 nights series I did, while I have felt that they're lacking something indeed, but I am not ready to give in for them.
