Artist's Comments

When I was younger I always used to think that what if my toys had consciousness? So I thought it was best to treat them well and never neglect them... else they might do something nasty.

No images are stock, all are done by me


Holy shit fuck!! Daily deviation?! I disappear for a while, come back and BAM I got this! You know this has made my day, it really has :) Thanks ~simul for the suggestion, and thanks to everyone who's creeped out by this! Yeah baby, you rock!

weeeeell seems quite a few of you are confused by the concept behind some images, particularly the last frame. Well it's a story portraying a girl who neglects her doll, treats it with disrepect and leaves it lying abandoned in it's crumbling abused state. In her dreams, the tables have turned and she has become the doll; little does she realise this until the doll comes to 'play'. The last image if you notice is the girl's bedroom seen in shot 3 where she fell asleep and the trail of light leads out of an open window. The intention was to make you question if that actually was a dream she had or whether it had become reality. The trail of light shows the path the girl was carried away by the doll in, either physically or in spirit. Hope that clears some confuzzled thoughts.

If anyone's interested I was heavily inspired by the work of Duane Michaels at the time, particularly with his piece 'bogeyman'. I loved the comic strip layout and the surreal take on a child's imagination creating curiosity over something an adult would overlook. I decided to combine this style to an idea I did 2 years ago, basically it was a shit version of shot #5 when I didn't know what I was doing with photoshop. Took about 3 days to plan the story, layout, lighting and what bits I was going to use to make the final composition. Took another 3 nights to shoot everything and a week to bring everything together in photoshop...dang!

Once again, thanks for all your interest :D

Whoa.... That's really cool: sort of a photographic comic strip (not that it's exactly comic). :D The second one reminds me of Forgotten I by * sashaisinsane. Anyways, very cool lighting and perspective throughout. Two questions: who's the model, and how'd you get those textures on the walls?

Please do Come Over and look around.
~QuoiQueCeSoit and I are not related...the last names thing is merely coincidental. :-P

Ta very muchly. The little girl is my girlfriend's younger sister and those textures on the walls are photographs of corrugated iron that has turn to brittle rust which I then skewed and rotated each section around the shape of the room.
:iconhbynoe:

disturbing, but in a good way.
definately emotes a certain conciousness about it.
very well done.
:iconravensbat:

There must be hearts which know the depths of our being,and swear by us,even when the whole world forsakes us.
:iconjennee:
This is really creepy. It looks like a storyboard for a horror movie... My favourites are the first and 5th images.

Don't wake me for the end of the world unless it has really good special effects.
:iconamarubei:
