This really started as a really simple pencil doodle just to see what Vladimus would look like in my style now, and well it quickly evolved into a full blown pencil shaded piece, then shin threated me to add colour, and so I did ^^

A few notes on him.
1: He can't actually fly with those wings, it would be technically impossible, tho he can float with the magic he gains from the form.
2: This is his 2nd and final form, no 20 form boss battles here.
3: No he isn't Sephiroth (I dunno why I always have people saying everything I draw is like final fantasy, it really annoys me!)
4: Whether he is Good or Evil is up to you.
5: those stained glass patterns behind him have a lot of meaning to XM.
