This character design is part of a side project I am currently working where I redesign characters from the game Final Fantasy XIII. These designs are based on the idea that the characters were all made into Knights for the Goddess Etro. These designs are being created as part of a group cosplay project.

Vanille is the first design completed. Her design was heavily based on Hecatoncheir, while also maintaining elements of the Knight of Etro armour - such as the white feathers, gold bird crest on her thigh and the Grace of Etro script etched on her armour.

This project is particularly challenging due to trying to make the designs match the high fantasy theme of the game series, while also making them practical enough for the cosplayers to both make and wear.
