SciFi and Fantasy Art: Bahamut Rough

Being a fan of Final Fantasy, I decided to find out about the originator of the name Bahamut. As much as I like the dragon, I thought it would be interesting in trying to portray the 'true' Bahamut. Bahamut is actually the fish, Kujata (I think) is the bull who supports the ruby mountain on his back. On the mountain is an angel who supports the world. It's something like that. I've read a few different descriptions. Anyway, I wanted to do a painting so I was trying to come up with a composition and a color scheme on Photoshop. I scrapped this idea fairly early, because it's too complex but I still sort of like it so I thought I'd post it.

5 Dec 2004	Anonymous	Loading... That is a gorgeous picture..weirdly enough I was looking for origins of Bahamut and Tiamat outside of final Fantasy when I decided to look around Elfwood to see if anyone had drawn him as a fish, rather than a dragon so I'd like to thank you ^^
