Artist's Comments

Ed: added the story :)

Storyline:

The Upper World is one of a whole chain of connected worlds where magic is a normal thing and where not only people's lives but the fates of whole realms depend upon the strength of certain artifacts. The most powerful that can be found in the Upper World called Talismans. They all differ in qualities and every thousand years a very powerful is born. Moreover, each Talisman is born because of a new soul entering this world.
Every child upon it's birth receives a Talisman and should wear it till their final breath. It is believed that when a Talisman is lost or thrown away something bad is going to happen.
Just like this very day when a girl that received the most powerful in the last 1000 years Talisman thrown it away in the abyss.......


---------------------------------
Tech stuff:

Time - two weeks + 4-5 days in search of a right stock
The original idea was totally different. I don't really want to tell it, cause I may someday manage to bring it to life :D
I've had like 4 different versions of the background and approx. 30 floating islands concepts until I got the right island (I think it's the best ) and then I finally moved from the dead point! It was hard to choose the main figure of this picture but I was lucky enough to stumble on =Tracie76Stock's photos of her daughter.
I guess I'll make this long story of creation short and just say that it took me a LOT of time and effort and I can proudly say that I've put my whole soul into this picture.


Stock used:
:icontracie76stock: - cute little girl
:iconaxis85stock: - light house and skipper house
:iconsempiterna-stock: - boat
:iconresurgere: - sky (partially) and textures for islands
:iconstellarbabe: - tower

The rest is either from my collection or was created during the process.
