Description 2nd commission for

"She always wanted to be the center of attention; she tried acting on stage but failed. But one day she saw a puppet show and marvelled at the applause the puppets received, a thought travelled in her mind, to become a puppet and be the center of attention and applause! She travelled with the puppet master himself and eventually she fell in love, and still she wanted to be a puppet. One day she meet an old witch who granted her wish and now she is the center of attention, the puppet master now moves her strings..."

This almost seems like a reference to an episode from Fringe. I for get which one and the season it was found in, but it was a good episode.

I love the way you created the ballerina according to the storie...
Her eyes look distant, as if she had felt so much she cannot feel anymore.

Applause.

alexwarlorn [2009-12-09 08:15:59 +0000 UTC]

But is she still sentient? Or dead wood? Does her immortal soul resinate out to the audience giving the puppet master's performance feeling? Otherwise her wish granted in this manner is pointless.

Lovely. Her strings seem a little slack, though, concidering how far off her center of balance she is.

Something everyone can relate to, wanting to be the center of attention.
REally draws attention--good job!
