Description
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.
My first Mod's Choice in the Fanquarter section of Elfwood. I'm so happy.

I think the word "come" should be translated as "veni." I just looked up the word "adi" and it seems to me "veni" would be more appropriate for this.

Adi from adeo: approach, attack, visit etc.
It fits. It means to come to and that's what Kuja's commanding Bahamut to do.
Venio can mean come or go and is a little less specific.

The clouds look really ominous! Kuja's hands and arms are perfect. I like the background too!

I used my own hand and a mirror as references. I'm glad you think the clouds look ominous. I like doing clouds in Deep Paint (the program I used)

I got reference photos of my own arms for the picture. It made it so much easier.

Beautifully portrayed, the arms look a bit thick though still it's Kuja I can't flaw him!

Hmmmm I think the arms are about normal width. I used a couple reference pics I shot of myself and I think I upped the width as I've got fairly thin arms, especially wrists.

Maybe i'm just comparing how I draw arms but still its a beautiful picture non the less!

Nice clouds 
When I read the title I thought she was asking Bahamut to add her to his friends list

Kuja's male, not female actually. A very common mistake.
Heh, that's another way of translating it I hadn't thought of, though add has two 'd's, doesn't it?

well it does have two "d"s but who would pray for getting ads on their homepage?!
I've never played the game so how could I know what it is

I know I know. Besides his hands and face are base off photos I took of my own hands and face. As I am female it's little wonder he looks a bit femanine (okay wearing a skirt like ourfit doesn't help either).

I'd give you 10 out of 10 for your Latin... but I could also be wrong. Yay for making it vocative. /end Latin nerd rant
Anyways, brilliant stuffs.

wow. awesome ^^
I love that scene in the game.
but if u wnt to hear my opinion: i think it would suit kuja more if he says: bahamut darling! cme here and play with me!
hehe just kidding

I think that'd go better with the Silver Dragon. Or perhaps calling Bahamut to come play with all the little people, make them squirm! Mwahahaha.....
