Description
Knight of ChaosPulsian Champion
*Edit* Due to popular demand, added proper reference for the crystal sword
I sat on this idea overnight and it killed me not being able to sketch it out :'D I had two ideas based on Cie'th, one of them was based more around the undying, I referenced the Ghast Cie'th because I liked the way you could still see the L'cie's face in amongst all the crystal stuff but I felt that basing the look more around the Sacrifice Cie'th and Cid Raines' Hybrid L'cie form may fit a bit more, and it just looks more visually pleasing and the Hybrid Cie'th seem to have consciousness rather than being brainless enemies.
I wanted a dress-like bodice to keep a kind of elegance amongst the chaotic crystal appendages going on :'D
That's pretty much my idea, something elegant and chaotic in theme cB
I seem to enjoy the chaos theme don't I? XD

I just wanted to say that I looked at all your entries and I really like how your designs reflect elements from the game, it really shows that you're a fan. Out of your three, I think this is my favourite. The what-if scenario, and this design give a nice elegance to the usual monstrous cie'th image. Nice work and good luck!

If this doesn't place in top three I will be sorely disappointed, it's amazing. Simple-looking but also very elaborate and graceful.

I would be extremely lucky with my skill level ;u;
I can do the design part but I think someone who can paint a masterpiece, no matter what the design, will probably always win :'D
Still though thank you ;u; I can only try, I'm such a huge fan of the XIII series, I wont pass up this opportunity to show it cB

No way, luck has nothing to do with it, your submissions are both great as banners and character design exhibits. (I am still confused about what they want - some say character design sheets, other say that the banner layout is more important. Either way you've got both down!)

Nice! I really like this one actually from your other one! Cie'th costume is a unique appeal for basically how that happens in the first game too. O_OΒ

Chopstuff In reply to Eden-West [2014-02-14 04:13:04 +0000 UTC]
Thank you so much :'D I like this one more too, I had an idea like "what if she failed her focus and got turned into a Cie'th" and thought it could look cool ;u;

oh no, I have a pretty good idea! I looked at your profile; and I saw all you favorite artists, being all from the final fantasy crew, I myself am a huge Yoshitaka Amano fan, along with the others~ and I snooped your art, a lot of final fantasy work!Β
I admire your work too, you do such an amazing job, your two entries are creative and visually pleasing, Tetsuya would be a fool not to notice it!Β
I think you got this! c:

;u; FF is the reason I pushed myself to get better at drawing hnnnnn, I wanted to get into character design but I never could afford it and now I have a kid it's kind of off the table now, so this is a stella opportunity to just prove that I can do something... maybe ;u;
I adore Amano's art I have a big art book in my shelf that I flick through sometimes, and I swear I've replayed XIII multiple times just to ogle the visuals :'D Despite its flaws that people love to shove in my face as if it will make me enjoy it less, I really adore this series.
I don't have much fanart in my gallery since I started a new account and have stuck to drawing my own work, but I used to draw a lot of FF fanart, you've actually reminded me that I never posted the FF8 characters that I drew a while back :'D Looks like I have to rummage through my files to put them up ;u;
Thank you so much though, my confidence is so low I think I needed to hear that :'D

Daltasaur In reply to Chopstuff [2014-02-14 01:51:38 +0000 UTC]
haha It's my pleasure! I feel like you deserve it because your artwork is seriously good!
Im a huge supporter of art being an artist myself, so I love to look and see what people do and how creative they can get, and both your chaos and C'ieth piece are fantastic.
and I couldn't agree more, I love the final fantasy franchise! I've seen an Amano final fantasy art book he's done, its called "Dawn: the world of final fantasy" I think, and the artwork and all the concepts inside it are beautiful.Β

Ohhhh man yes I've seen that book and I want it so bad :'D It's something to save for I think~
I hope I can come up with other designs that are just as good if not better ;u; I may have hit my high note with this Cie'th XDDD

May I say this is absolutely awesome? I was waiting for this. I really wanted to draw her like that, but never got my ass off. I'm so glad someone designed her in Cocoon Cie'th/Sacrifice style!

Trying to come up with different ideas is quite difficult :'D Especially since I'm doing multiple designs they all need to stand out from one another ;u; This is my favourite one of the two though~
