Description Hey gang. Here's something I've been working on on and off then and when. This picture's one of the few serious ones you've seen in my gallery. It's about Anyssa playing her favourite instrument, having composed a song in memory of her lost family.
For those who don't know, Anyssa lost her family while she was still underage, being the only survivor in a car accident that took her both parents. After that she had to go through an era of depression and mistreatment as she was taken from a foster family to another, the families either being not to her tastes or them treating her like crap. Eventually she ran away and hid until she came across the BB residence.
In any case, she used to play a cello when her parents were still alive, but thanks to obvious reasons she had a long pause. Only after getting over the biggest grief did she get back to her old hobby, and in the picture you see she's playing a song she made for her dead parents called "Overture for yearning". You could say it's her way to grieve and honour her parents' memory.

Art wise I tried to make this picture seem as emotional as possible, and I think I succeeded in it quite well. Not as well as I would've wanted, but it's good nevertheless.

Maybe. This definitely just shows how deeply intelligent she must be, which is why her pranks work so well...

A truly touching moment, BB. Fantastic job on capturing a subdued and tragic side of Anyssa.

the first thing that comes to my mind is "excellent shading". In this piece you really showed how good you are at that, it's still your best trait in my opinion.
Very very good lightning, it makes this one of your best pictures so far. Lots of details, from the shinyness of the cello to the effect of the light coming from the windows.
Intense!
