The Goblin's Locket by =
OchreJelly is not only an enchanting fantasy artwork that is full of love and yet so sad, it also comes with its own little story that does this wonderful painting more justice than I ever could with my own words.
The goblin picked up the locket from the desk in a stupor of sadness and numb pain. Inside was a picture of the his mistress, beautifully, carefully rendered. He had been a fool to think such thoughts as he had, to hope such hopes. The goblin fled the tower in desperation, in despair, in utter sorrow. He spent his remaining days wandering aimlessly among the forests, among the trees, forever solitary except for the locket that he kept with him.

I don't draw myself, but the atmosphere you captured inthe picture is wonderfully well-done, you can feel his loss long before you know what it is he has lost. Combined with your story, it is nothing short of heart-breaking. Very well-done, I'll go browse the rest of your gallery, and add other comments repeating what has already been said by others ^_^
And yea this picture is very good!
I always find it interesting when things go against a stereotype, like goblins being heartless.
