"Now you all know The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song"
Blind Guardian: Bard's Song
A little birthday present for dear - I really hope you like it! I have wanted to draw her Neverwinter Nights 2 character, halfling bard Torias, for a while now and this is what I came up with. He's such a charming character - he can be so carefree and wise, amiable and serius at the same time. To find out more about him go take a look at *shoughad's lovely short stories featuring Torias and different NwN2 characters -> [link] I have really enjoyed reading them. This is probably one of my all time favorites:
Thanks a lot for beautiful knotwork brush to ! [link]
Oh, Dear! That's ... that's ... (*struck by lightening*) - a true birthday surprise! And it has all, what it needs to be perfect: books and beer and a bard's song. Thank you so much!
Yay, I'm so glad you like it! I had a lot of fun drawing him and I was humming "Bard's Song" almost all the time I was making this - I just had to add it to description.
When I heared the "Bard's Song" for the very first time, it wasn't performed by Blind Guardian, but by Van Canto - an a-capella metal group ( [link] ) on a life concert. I still love this quite unusual version.
Oh yeah I love Van Canto! I stumbled across them on YouTube couple years ago - their cover of "Bard's Song" is simply amazing. They even made their own version of Nightwish's song "Wishmaster" which is pretty impressive accomplishment, I must say...
I love their "Kings of Metal". Listening to this song strangely is connected to a weird fantasy: Grobnar, Construct, Casavir, Torias and Khelgar rocking the Black Lake Theatre ... Well, somehow I have to blame *Agregor for it. [link]
Thank you so much!

And Torias is very cute, sitting on a pile of bookks like this.
Thanks a lot!
