"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 :iconshoughad: - I really hope you like it! :hug: :rose:
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: :love:


Thanks a lot for beautiful knotwork brush to :iconcopper-mountain-king:! [link]

:heart: Oh, Dear! That's ... that's ... :wow: (*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! :tighthug:

Yay, I'm so glad you like it! :dance: :heart:
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. :D

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. :la:

Oh yeah I love Van Canto! :excited: :heart: 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... :XD:

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 ... :headbang:
Well, somehow I have to blame *Agregor for it. ;) [link]

Aww... I always loved Torias, and thought he was very cute - this embodies him perfectly! Just as sweet as he is :)
