This was done for the 2012 Halloween Competition at Renderosity, themed Unhappily Ever After I was the lucky winner of the 1st place in the 2D category.
The story behind it is there's no greater tragedy than a mother losing a child. If there's one "unhappily ever after", this is it. All wounds heal over time, and other losses of loved ones easier to bear as time goes, but a lost child is never forgotten by his mother.
I didn't experience such tragedy (no babies had or lost) but I have friends who had and I can still feel their pain.
