Misery Loves Company: An Emo Fable

Once upon a time, there was a little girl in a mental institution. She felt all alone and didn't know how to express her feelings. She decided to create another self - and so, Misery Black was born. Misery is a misfit, a little ragdoll that doesn't know where she belongs. But through her adventures, she creates her identity - just like that lost little girl.

So far, I've been just working on the sketch. That's part of my process. I sketch my paintings fully before painting them.
