  • Title: The Painting in the Attic
  • Artist: Aularen has quit
  • Description: The house is old and neglected. Silence hangs in the air; not an empty silence, but a silence full of memories long gone. You are careful not to disturb this silence as you explore this forgotten abode. You climb a narrow staircase to the attic, and in a crate you find a rolled up painting, creased and discolored. You wonder who owned it, and why it was left to crumble. Most of all, you wonder about the woman who dances in the painting, a sad look on her face. Who was she? What was her story?

  • This is absolutely phenomenal. This avi signifies the truth of handling things that haven't been bothered or touched for years. It is so beautiful how you were able to capture the deep truth of silence being golden and unspoken as some other figment treats something else with care. Absolutely brilliant. 5/5

  • Very nicely done! It gives me a sense of a old, dusty painting that no one has discovered for years. The edges are torn and the picture is faded, signifying that the painting is fragile and must be handled carefully.
    The character is Asian, which fits in perfectly because many Asian, especially old Chinese paintings, have a faded, creased look to it.

  • I like this, brings a feeling of nostalgia to mind. Like when you are a child exploring and discovering new things outside of your home. This is very well done, with the faded color, torn edges, and scorch marks at the bottom, as if someone did not want this to be discovered. The character matches the rest, with ancient clothing blended with youthful appearance bringing the question to mind of what happened to her.
