Description Caius from Final Fantasy XIII-2!

'Chaotic Guardian' is a title taken from the FF XIII-2 OST.
I really like this title, because I still think 'chaotic' is also the most fitting word for me, my drawings and my way of working.

I really like Caius, he's the coolest antagonist in the Final Fantasy series since Kuja in my opinion. They should have made the whole game about him, Yeul and Noel and everything would have been way better (I liked the game nonetheless ). I just can't stand Serah, she's so annoying...

The sketch for this already exists since april. Actually this one was planed as my entry for the contest to which I submitted my drawing of Yeul instead.
I don't think it's particularly good, but I still thought it'd be a waste to leave it unfinished like this. So I took my brushes and finally did a fast coloring. I don't like how the colors turned out, but oh well, I'll upload everything.
His sword gave me quite some trouble, the original is so insanely detailed, so I freely changed some things. But wait, isn't this what I always do?
If anybody wonders, the thing in the background is supposed to be Bahamut, just ignore it.XD

Very beautiful! The hair and everything! I was wondering, were you inspired by Yoshitaka Amano? Your style reminds me of his work.

Ceresta In reply to LadyJuxtaposition [2013-10-04 17:07:04 +0000 UTC]

Thank you very much!

Yes, Yoshitaka Amano surely is one of my biggest inspirations! I kind of worry that my style got too similar to Amano's after so many people told me my works reminded them of his.

But it's still a great honor to be compared to such an amazing artist!
