Description
"About a quarter of the time, Bahamut wanders Oerth in the shape of a human or some other guise. He is said to have been encountered as a frail old hermit, with the seven great golden wyrms that accompany him disguised as seven canaries singing sweetly nearby."Related content

this is one of the more inspiring depictions of Bahamut ive seen...and if im not mistaken,this is the ONLY picture on deviantart of him in human form.
i really like his design,he kind of reminds me of the emperor from the mulan movies (only with different colored robes and no hat)

An awesome exploration of D&D lore through art. I love how the canaries seem to glow in midst the night, even brighter than the stars.

I can't help but think of how Bahamut here looks like Gen from Streetfighter. Not that I think it's a bad thing, mind you.
I like how serene he looks with his "birds" near him.

I like how the air seem to rip around parts of the tree. Seems to convey the great but calm power of the figures. Fleshes out my D&D universe imagery, too. (score)
PS: started playing gamma world w/ my friends after hearing about how weird it is via Penny Arcade. TONS OF FUN.

I believe this is the only picture of its kind in DeviantArt, and one of the very few non-Final Fantasy depictions of the Platinum Dragon(not that there's anything wrong with the FF depictions

I really like the contrasts between the birds and the rest of the picture.

Is it odd that I recognize that quote from 20 years ago when I played D&D

Yea, I remember this from reading my dad's old campaign stuff. Read that passage was like the nostalgia truck highway'ing me.

I want to favorite this, but I've been playing DnD with some people and we're not supposed to know who the old man is yet, and if I *do* favorite, I will spoil it for everyone else and not just myself haha.
But really wonderful work. I'll come back and add this after the secrets out in our game

Beautiful colors and texture. It was pretty bold to put in that bright yellow against such a dark background, but it paid off! Very nicely done!

That is really awesome Gabe, wicked job. I love the way the canaries shine and Bahamut's apperance is amazing I would never suspect him of being dangerous

Really nice piece.
I love the mood in this. Somewhere between sadness and peace. If soothing is a right word...I hope it is
I would definitely hang this on my wall if it would be painted with acrylic.

The coloring of the canaries really give the piece a surreal look, I feel. Very intriguing.
