"I'd like to hear you play," I volunteered.
"It's settled then." Esme pushed him toward the piano. He pulled me along, sitting me on the bench beside him.
He gave me a long, exasperated look before he turned to the keys.
And then his fingers flowed swiftly across the ivory, and the room was filled with a composition so complex, so luxuriant, it was impossible to believe only one set of hands played. (...)
The music slowed, transforming into something softer, and to my surprise I detected the melody of his lullaby weaving through the profusion of notes.
"You inspired this one," he said softly. The music grew unbearably sweet.
I couldn't speak. (...)
I glanced behind me, but the huge room was empty now.
"Where did they go?"
"Very subtly giving us some privacy, I suppose." (...)
The song he was still playing, my song, drifted to an end, the final chords shifting to a more melancoly key. The last note hovered poignantly in the silence.
"Thank you," I murmured. I realized there were tears in my eyes.

Twilight, chapter 15 "The Cullens"
by Stephenie Meyer


Finally!! This drawing was a bitch, seriously. In the end I had to take a picture of my boyfriend sitting on my piano to use as a reference (for Edward and the piano of course). My piano isn't a grand piano, but I improvised ;)

I wanted this to be very light, without a lot of shadows, or furniture or even walls, and kind of simple too. I added the texture to give the background a little something; I wanted it bare, but not boring. The wooden floor is a little "rough", but I wanted a bit of a vintage feeling and I think that and the texture help.

Bella should be wearing her hair in a ponytail, but I just love drawing her hair loose like that :D She's wearing that blue blouse Edward is so fond of, he he he he!

Oh, and this is IMPORTANT: this was VERY inspired by the song "River Flows In You" by Yurima [link]
I just love it as Bella's song and I know they won't use it in the movie, but it's still her lullaby in my head.

Just remember that you're standing on a planet that's evolving
And revolving at nine hundred miles an hour,
That's orbiting at nineteen miles a second, so it's reckoned,
A sun that is the source of all our power. :fuzzydemon:

I'm seriously in love with your recent pictures of Twilight. You're sooo good at getting the right atmosphere and the right expressions! This is amazing, and I have a feeling this picture is going to be very popular. <3 Keep up the great work.
(A River Flows in You is a beautiful song btw!)

That's really funny, that's exactly the same song I always imagined as Bella's lullabye...It's beautiful, they both are.
Awesome. I love this whole part of the book, when she meets the Cullens. :)

Great job!
