Emperor Vexxus Alexander Serenade
A lost Prince once found himself in a new world. Unable to return home, he set out to secure a new throne. One day, this short-term goal had been achieved and it wasn't long before he'd become one of the most powerful rulers in all the land. After realizing that his long-term goal of returning home to save his family was not going to happen, he chose to stay in this new world and make sure that nobody could ever take what belonged to him again. Someone needed to rule supreme, right? And who better to rule the world than one who would never grow old.
The self-proclaimed Emperor was born.. or the mad king, to some. Vexx had not necessarily become evil, but he was by no means good. He failed to save his family and when the barriers of time and space refused him his revenge, his corrupt heart grew twisted. Maybe there was still a chance, though? If there was, he would find it and take it no matter what the cost.

I started this piece 3 months ago but stopped working on it after a little less than a month because I got stuck with the background. Despite the lack of a BG, I just loved how I drew my character, though. So much so, that eventually, I decided to just make the background foggy or whatever. It was better than the alternative.. which would have been development hell for who knows how long.
This is the best visual portrayal of the fantasy story version of my fursona, yet.
I identify with his character more than any version of him. I am he and he is me.

now this is an emperor i can get behind and would worship any day ;D <3
Well, he is the fairest of them all.. so how could you not? x3 In the end, though, the fact of the matter remains that he is an egomaniacal amoral dictator.
But at least his people prosper and his friends can feel safe knowing they have a powerful ally. *nods nods*

The armour and the purple on black looks really, really nice. The style of armour reminds me of a bit of a mix of 2 of my absolute favourite sets from Guild Wars 2! Namely Grasping Dead and Tier 3 Human Cultural Armour.
Looks great, nice work!

I played GW2 until endgame, back when it first came out, but I don't recall those armor sets. The entire outfit that Vexx is wearing here is just something I randomly came up with. It's not really inspired by anything other than certain cultural areas of interest. For example, I really like gothic victorian attire, I also really like the way that a lot of eastern armor would often involve plates of armor being threaded together in a descending fashion, and I am very focused on royal/decorative knightly armor. I put all these interests together on short notice, added a touch of this emperor's madness, and came up with what you see here. Next time I draw my sona in a suit of armor, I will probably actually take some time to work on the design properly instead of just relying on spontaneous ideas that I managed to pull out of my mind on the spot.
Anyway! I'm glad you like it. Thanks for tellin me ^_^

Hey, for " spontaneous ideas that I managed to pull out of my mind on the spot." it looks really awesome!
The sets are both heavy armour, the first is from the Arah Dungeon, and the second is just the gold sink Human Racial armour you can buy. They aren't really anything super close to your design, they just popped into my head when I was looking at it. Maybe they have the same inspiration you did for your design, great minds, as they say, think alike! :)
