I am actually very, very proud of this--and I really didn't expect to be.

It feels like ages ago now that this was a simple little sketch; but when I compare the time it took to complete this work I realize that this was one of the "fast" ones. Anyway, I liked this one's final so much I thought my fellow openCanvas fanatics would enjoy an export file. I also realize that the file size is enormous, I apologize for that--but it's just got to be that large to hold the image at the level of quality I want it to be as I submit it here. And Heather Kat belongs to me, and Storm Spotter/ "Fire Storm" is Isaac's.

This is dedicated to Nicole & Emily who both drew a both Heather and Storm so much it sparked this drawing; and to Isaac for being my favorite muse, favorite pillow, favorite so much.. I love you.

And here are the lyrics I lost the energy to put on this in Photoshop, but also inspired me when I was home alone on a Saturday evening working on this. Oh, and I forgot to add that this song was from the girls (above) too, haha~

D.H.T. "Listen To Your Heart"

I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.

Listen to your heart
when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye.

Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.

And there are voices
that want to be heard.
So much to mention
but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind.
