For those of you who didn't like the stately standing of Galen, here he is in action. Yes, that is Aesmodeus from my stories, and yes, I have mentioned a few times that he is in fact a giant snake. Normally, you're not supposed to mention that Aesmodeus is a giant snake, because well, his true form had been damaged in a powerful battle. The charismatic looking man with the evil gotee and the devil horns is just an illusion he would conjure up to hide his now marred, damaged form.
And when Galen/King Bahamut shoots something, he is going to blow a hole in it. There has never really been images of King Bahamut using his breath weapon while attacking something...well outside of Final Fantasy images. But in games like D&D, he's never been shown to use his...Mega Flare. Yes, that's where Square Nix got it from, D&D. Bahamut does have a breath weapon that can pretty much atomize a planet.
One thing about Galen, he doesn't have a set size. Normally he appears as a dragon in my stories, he doesn't appear in human form at all. And depending on who he's talking to, he will take on the size of that person. When he spoke to Sam, he was human sized, when he hangs around Jonathan, when Jon's in his dragon form, Galen/Bahamut is of equal size to Jonathan. The largest I've imagined Bahamut is the size of the Earth itself, especially when he's doing space battles. But normally, Bahamut, the King of Dragons, ranges from 15 feet long to 500 feet long. But he has no set size.
Another good work, and I dig the subject matter. I really like the Pit Snake, and the tense action. B blowing a hole right through A is pretty cool. However, I feel B's hair, as rendered, seems a little lifeless and there is something off about tbe breathweapon to me as well. It seems like the angle changes little after hitting A. Maybe this is intended, but it just looks off to me. Also, I think the lighting could match/emphasize the action the scene more by being more dramatic. More contrast with darker shadows type thing. That's it really. Another good work - thank you for sharing.
Beautiful artwork, I love D&D so the lore part makes this piece all the more interesting. Thanks for uploading! The epic battle is an amazing form for this art piece. Also the light and dark between the two make for an epic and climatic battle.
I had a similar battle in the works for a campaign I'm writing, do you mind if I were to use this picture for it?
