I love this song. It has made me cry on occasion, especially while watching Enchanted, the movie it was written for. And at the moment, it is lodged very deeply within some part of my cranium that repeats things incessantly.

I'm also on a Bryen's Trilogy kick. It's my story about Bryen Gossert, a ghost who isn't really dead. Bryen, a pre-vet student at NYU, was shot, and his soul was expelled from his body. But his body did not die; he's in the ICU. His roaming soul, remembering nothing about his life, latches onto a powerful psychic named Kara Ashby, a student at Juilliard. Because of her incredible psychic power, ghosts are drawn to her, and they are almost always vengeful and angry, taking it out on her to a point where she is extremely reclusive and borderline mentally unstable. Kara agrees to help Bryen discover who he is and why he's dead, in exchange for his protection from the malevolent spirits who have haunted Kara for her whole life.

But as the two grow closer, Bryen admits falling in love with her. Kara is reluctant to allow herself to feel anything for Bryen, because there is no certainty that he will ever be a living person again, and she doesn't want to be hurt. But even though she refuses to admit it, even to herself, she has fallen very deeply in love with him.

So... the consequence of being on a BT kick, and having this song stuck in my head, is this picture. This song could be sung by Bryen or Kara; the lyrics could easily go either way, depending on how you wish to interpret them.

But the big news about this picture... it's completely digital.

GWEEEEE

I've never used a tablet, or done any digital drawing, before (yep, this is my first digital piece EVAR.) As you may recall, my mommy got me a Wacom for my berfday. Sooo... I've been practicing with it on Photardshop, and I finally felt it was time to complete a real drawing. I had to consult Donnie Hoyle several times (especially when placing the Juilliard logo on Kara's shirt, what a BITCH that was!), but I'm really happy with how this turned out. In addition to being a tablet n00b, I've never done anything with Photardshop before, so BIRDE IS VERRY HAPPY PLZ.

So yep, that is all. ^^ I HOPES YOU LIKES IT.



<sub>OH, SUBNOTE: This is the first time I've drawn Bryen wearing something other than his trademark black hoodie. He's wearing an NYU Violets shirt, though the text isn't visible at the present angle. He actually wears the NYU shirt under his hoodie, but because ghosts can't undress, you don't ever see that little tidbit.



OH, OTHER SUBNOTE: They are standing on Kara's back porch, at her home in St Francisville, Louisiana. That means it's either summer or winter break, because Kara's home from NYC. It must be winter cause she's wearing something heavier than a cami. It's flipping HOT that far south.</sub>
