I understand, because I can see

Description

...Seeing with your heart and not with your eyes, that is.
I tried my best to choose the words, but I don't think any title I can come up with would embody my feelings regarding this drawing. (Not just about the picture itself, but the events, emotions and revelations surrounding this work.)

This is a birthday present for :iconbalba-bunny:.
This is her wandering, warrior character, Albion Diko with Barry Hatch from Fable III. I tried my best to include everything I could about her character and Barry Hatch, as well touches just for ~balba-bunny (Diko) herself, like the snow. When I learned she had never had the chance to experience it in person, it became my inspiration for the scene.
I don't think I could properly sum up in my words just how much love Diko has for Barry Hatch, so I will have to use hers (as she spoke them in the description of this drawing she made for a friend [link]):
"Knowing I can love somebody that much makes me feel special, it makes me feel alive even if I have to live almost completely up in my head. I'm sure he led a raunchy life but I adore he still smiles and laughs after his hardened troubles; and god do I wish I could comfort him after a day of being slapped around...I relate to that, I can sympathize with having a hard, physically abused life and just smile and float above it all like he does. I think that's what makes me love him the most.

Call me the insane crazy Barry girl, the weirdo that collects songs and makes photo manips because she wants to see his face everywhere and in everything. And drawing her self represented character always with him. In certain everyday simple things I find beauty in sunsets because now they have a greater meaning to me because of his hair."

~balba-bunny is one of the most fantastically loving and understanding people that I have had the pleasure to meet. She's an inspiring and uplifting person to talk to, and she has a meaningful quote, reference, and story for every situation! I hope you're having a fantastic birthday today, Miss Diko, you really deserve it. And I hope today's sunset was the most gorgeous one you've ever had the pleasure to see. :hug:
Thank you so much for being you.

I saw this art years ago and I’m just now able to comment on it. This art makes me feel so many emotions and it’s mostly the reason why I adore Barry’s character. Much love. 💙
