Wow. You're definitely a great artist if you can get the emotions across through an artwork. Why don't you try asking a friend to compose a sad music track about this? You could put them together as a flash file.
This is heartbreaking but definitely NOT in bad way, only in good way. The song fits to the atmosphere of the pic perfectly; it gives me the idea Popeye really misses Olive and wants her to be there with him but she can't.
Brilliant work. Well done.
