For the Plastic People contest on retrogade.

My first photomanip. Usually I draw the whole thing, but this time I incorporated some photos, and also drew parts of it.

(doll photos, though barely recognizable are from elfdoll.com)

I had a story in mind, so I thought I should write it down. I don't remember exactly how I wrote it on my picture, but in summary:

Once there was an inventor who made the most beautiful and life like dolls. People loved these dolls, but complained that they lacked emotion and seemed dead. The inventor toiled desperately seeking a way to bring life to his creations. Finally in his madness, he found a way to make mechanical brains for them. His living dolls gained consciousness, but they could only think, and had no emotions. One told him that they were cold inside, and that they could not feel anything. They turned on him, clawing the blood and flesh that they could never have.

innit a happy story. lol n___n
