The name is Latin for "Dog God." I drew my inspiration from FFX: I imagined that if Bahamut were female, joined up with Ifrit and created offspring, and gave birth to an electric aeon, it might look something like this. Lol.

I have never drawn electricity or "magic" before, so that took longer than anything else. I'm really happy with the way it came out though. Here are some other new things I tried in this project:
-Comic-book inking style
-Electricity
-Halo light-source
-Aiming to create a DA print

Please full-view! It's large, but totally worth it. I'd really appreciate it!

I'd like to give special thanks to God for my new-found love in art again, my patience (which used to be nonexistent), and the many people who've made my time on DA a delight!

Wow! I can definately see the FFX inspiration :D I love the style, and the glowing effects are great! Rather than overwhelm the piece they definately give it a sense of motion and energy.
And I shall now sit here in awe for a good while.

This is one of the best deviations in your gallery :love:

Just watching you get that much better with each and every work is truly inspiring. It's beautiful to see :cuddle:
