SciFi and Fantasy Art adi, o bahamute, ad me! by Shelz Keast

Barring errors in my Latin, the title should read 'Come, Bahamut, to me!". I had no idea how to Latinise the name Bahamut so a just wacked on an e to make it look like 2nd declesnion masculine noun in the vocative- probably not the best thing to do, but hey, I'm only in my second semeseter of it. Kuja suits Latin, I think.

So here we have Final Fantasy IX's villan, Kuja, calling out to the Eidolon Bahamut to wreck havoc on Alaxandria. So much for taking a break from doing Final Fantasy stuff.

Done in Deep Paint and Photoshop from scratch.

14 Aug 2008	The only rtr5	Loading... So good.I haven’t really seen Final Fantasy,so I can’t really tell about the character or plot of the picture.But it is still good! Shelz Keast replies: "Kinda hard to convey a whole plot in just one picture. Glad you like it."
14 Aug 2008	Dave Cripps	Loading... Is that sky dark? Looks a little washed out on mine. But then The sun is on it. Wait a while and it’ll go... No it still looks washed out. The rolling clouds are great though. Shelz Keast replies: "It could be washed out. Reason is that it was done in both Deep Paint and Photoshop. I switched between the programs every so often. DP adds lighting to the picture which when saved as a psd file adds a sort of white film to the picture (as lighting info isn’t saved). So with the half dozen or so switched I made the white adds up creating a washed out look. I did try and remedy it in photoshop and it did work to some extent. But really I should have made up my mind which program to use from the start and stick to it in future. In all fairness I was sick when I started this picture."
15 Aug 2008	Stacie	Loading... the only problem I see is that one of the hands is way bigger than the other, other than that, great job Shelz Keast replies: "I’d say slightly rather than very. It’s tilted a little more towards us that the other one is so more of the palm is visible. But now that you mention it they are slightly out of proportion."
17 Oct 2008	Marjolijn Laarmans	Loading... Great, dynamic pose. You did an amazing job at the drama and the sky of your drawing. I find it very hard to draw a head from that angle, but I think you did a good job Shelz Keast replies: "The secret of the head is that I toke a photo of myself with my head tilted back and used that as reference. The one with no reference used sucked."
