Wow... How to put this... That's some heavy sh--! Dude... ^_^ Kudos in the double at least. ;)

In some way we are all puppets on a string. So go ask Alice, I think she knows. So what's the significance of a 2nd pair of shoes? Skillfully built, wonderful to expore!

BTW. Not too much at all IMHO. Just right. ;)

thanks so much guys!^^ I put lot of work in this so I'm glad you enjoyed^^

lol klas, you sweared =P ...that don't happen often, so I guess that's a big positive reaction^^ I was worried about the many elements there... I'm reassured now^^

Alexis: when I made this, I kinda thought it has an invitation, to attract the viewer to make him want to go there... so the second pair of shoes is symbolically there to show someone has already entered and left his world behind... no one wants to be first^^ lol

Really impressive! You made me think.
Wish I could do this. Or at least have your patience.
Respect, man!!!

Well, I am really just in awe. I have a blank stare which is out of amazement at your imagination. The more I look at your work involved, the more I feel like something from the produce department. It would be fun to watch you create this "I think I said that before"

Very nicely done. I don't think I want to go there though, alice can have that scary place all to herself...

Outstanding creation as usual Lucy. Tour creativity absolutly amasses me.

thank you guys for the great feedback, glad you liked^^

This made an immediate and powerful impression on me right away. Enough said..To me this does not bring to mind the theme you chose,Alice in W ,close and along those lines ,yes..Therefore, I respectfuly disagree with the lettering..This could and does stand alone in my opinion...A fav..

Amazing picture ! Very powerfull and full of unsolved mysteries ... Bravo !! :)

You have great imagination. This ones very well executed too (just a little mistakes on the left side). Here's certain kind of dark and still mood which I like. And in my opinion there certainly isn't too much. I love that kind of images that have a lot detail but doesn't look too messy (and your doesn't). That line of trees is beautiful btw :)

This is so out there and I love the manipulation you have done in the creation of this wonderful new world. Excellent work

Very cool. I love your style, its awesome. I don't think its too much at all.

Crikey Lucy, I though you had gone completely crazy when I was reading your intro, then I read the title and it all made sense… sort of. Gosh I wish I had some of your imagination. There is so much suggestive stuff here like the extra shoes and the balloon that my brain can play games with this one for days. It’s a true piece of art that talks to me. Now all I have to do is make sense of what it’s saying to me :-)

Fantastic once again! I wish I was as creative as you and as skilled at image manipulation, because you just keep coming up trumps with almost every image you do. I totally dig the style and atmosphere you manage to create time and time again and this is no exception. Just brilliant

I knew it was yours before to see it at full size...
Quand vas-tu commencer ŕ exposer? :-)

thanks a lot guys^^

lol Pierre, c'est une possibilité, on en a discuté entre amis... mais pour le moment rien encore de concret^^

I love your gallery. The imagery is fantastic, and your narrative is excellent! I like the way this fantasy art lets ones imagination take flight and think of marvelous things. This awesome puppet, the globe, the lightning, the window frame, all stretches the mind. Such a fine creative work. I like the sepia tone - it's just right. The whole landscape is moody yet mind expanding. Whoa, I can't stop. Just know Lucy, that I appreciate your art and thanks! :))

Great job - brilliant concept, very well executed. I'm not keen on frames generally, but that's me. Fantastic, suggestive, evocative and challenging image.

An intriguing, magical and story-telling work,one of the more imaginative pieces.you could consider doing installations in art galleris, I believe.Alain

Being that the central figure in this is directly ripped from the depthcore piece by nkeo or Rik Oostenbrook, entitled 'God is taking a trip to elsewhere'. Direct credit should have been given to this artist. This is bad form and credit should not be given or taken without acknowledging the original artist who did the central piece in both works.

I took the puppet image on stock.xchng, and the one who posted the image was the one who took it (not NKEO as you seem to think).

if you have a account on stock.xchng, here's the direct link : http://www.sxc.hu/photo/409824

It was posted on 2005. Standard restrictions on the photo. It means basically that I can use the photo for commercial and non-commercial use and that I'm not obligated to notice the author if I use the stock photo. You are however right, I probably should have. I'll say in my defense that I usually don't take stock photos and start working on them right away. months can pass before I use the photos, and since I don't usualy keep the links of the different images, well...

I did in fact noticed a few months ago that a member of Depthcore had the puppet photo on one of his photomanip. We both (NKEO and I) took the picture on the stock site and used it in a photomanip, nothing more. This tends to happen a lot.

I checked, to make sure, this particular image on NKEO's deviantart gallery and he do say in his description that he took the image from stock.xchng...

I am actually amazed with this image, it is absolutley stunning and so surreal. Right into my favs.
