Description
The year is 2095 CE. In this future world, we have discovered a drug that can move our consciousness into another
plane. The drug is used in conjunction with a set of dolls and other artifacts which are marketed under the commercial
name Playtime. In this place/state of mind, people live within the dolls just as if they were in the "real" world.
However, it isn't the physical plane and so the rules are bent and discarded without much thought about the backlash of
such actions.
Here we find Sally sitting in her bedroom... alone with two of her dolls which she had found in a very compromising
position. The male doll is one that belongs to her husband Greg. The other however isn't Sally's avatar. It belongs
to Mary Jane, the couples 18 year old neighbor. In this new world the rules have changed, and most would agree that
the new ways do not always lead to a happily ever after story. The new morality begs the question "If the deed is
done in an alternate world where nothing is truly "real", can it be held against you in the physical world"?
It would seem the pain is just as real... but what about the consequences?

I apologize for not commenting very much lately... I seem to have lost something of myself lately. The drive to do much of anything has vanished for the most part. Thank you for looking at my posts. I will understand if you don't comment, or even look for that matter. Hope all is going well for everyone here. Seth

I really hope you get your muse back my friend.....hugs your artfriend Adrie.

Haaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!! You gave me the friggin' chills! And they feel so good! It's 90+ degrees here today! Totally, completely AWESOME work, my friend! Wow can I sink my teeth into a philosophical discussion here! But in the short form .... Yes. In my opinion, the consequences carry over through intent. This is so great, Seth. And I will ALWAYS ravenously and insatiably view your work!!!!!!! PS ... What an expression. Holy crap that's fantastic.

WOW!!! This is really cool!!
giulband
Beautiful !!! I prefer this version to the colored one because is more dramatic !!!!
Lunamoon
Just one word: WOW. This is an amazing picture and the story is wonderful science fiction. I just love the emotion in this, which you perfectly portrayed by the expression on her face....pure horror, pure pain. And a great reflection of a society caught up in the Internet...where what seems pure fantasy online can be quite real in the "really real world". Such a moment as this one has played out over and over with the same kind of pain. I just love the story and the use of the dolls that represent the fantasy of the cyber world. Most excellent....I hope you will find inspiration again because your art is too good to deny. OXOXOOXOXO Jane

Kinda gets at what this RR site is about in some ways at least. As always, your works are provocative in one way or another.
Black-Carrie
This one is more disturbing, than the coloured version! Fantastic work!

excellent
android65mar
Some fascinating ideas you have there- the germ of a story perhaps-
eekdog

Powerful image and thoughts! Very well done.

The best of the two Seth.
flavia49
wonderful image

Pretty wild Idea and probably not all that far from a truth, can't be good though, there's enough Sociopaths out there already I think something like that would just push the borderline cases right over the edge into full blown Psycos, Doubt the Gov would go for it, least not until the Mind Control Nanobots in the water supply gig is operational.....Cool work man, the B/W version is creepier but this is a rare case I like the colored version better for some reason. Peace
bakapo
wow, very creepy scene... and the idea is even more creepy. shivers the more I think on it, the creepier it gets! cool work! take your time, be easy on yourself and comment when you want to. hug

and in this world we can play GOD and demand from our own. and sometimes the demands are more than they or we can handle and then there is the breakdown. At what point do we as GOD destroy our PlayTime? and is it truly destroyed? Powerful image and great question for heavy thinking
romangirl
Heavy stuff! Love the story and awesome image!
Richardphotos

RodS
Really some fascinating food for thought, Seth, and a powerful image to go with it! Hope things improve for you, my friend. Been there a time or three myself...

Not to worry. Rather scary and cool work.
katyee
I love your work, and this is quite the masterpiece. I hope that you find a way to resolve what ever is making you feel this way. Comments on work, don't worry. We are all here, really to appreciate and be inspired. :)
Shozai
Great image :) I like both, the black and white is more scary for me ;) I am not sure if i understand all what you wrote, but to make pictures should be fun and if you have no inspiration at the moment so you have to cool down :) and relax, no worry about anything about it. The Inspiration will come back, i am sure :) You will be a artist forever :)
Mihrelle
Very disturbing concept and the image really gave me the chills ! Excellent work Seth :)

No amount of chemicals will help me understand Furrys. This has some analgies with things like second life, wondering if its intended.
Cyve
Fabulous once again !
Leije

Egzariuf
