Description
"Aut caesar aut nihil" - emperor or nothing.Poor Cesare aimed for the caesar, but in the end just got nihil. Bucketloads of nihil.
Also, FINALLY a Cesare-picture I'm happy with! And not only because of, you know, chains.
[edit] Wallpaper based on this can now be found at [link] Made it for myself but figured maybe others might want to use it, too. X3

Indeed! Cesare doesn't strike me as the type to ever truly admit defeat or lose all hope; he's a fighter and would keep on fighting, scheming and clawing for victory to the very end.

And that's the only right way to go for such a person.

He'd probably have preferred not "going" at all, but, yes... XD

The original Caesar went, too

Everyone does, sooner or later, but some manage to become emperors and kings before they do. X3

Aww, poor Cesare, no such luck.

A brief one, before Ezio hunts him down..?

How the mighty have fallen. Emperors and Kings rise and fall like the wind. Woe to the vanquished...
There, philosophical moment done. XD Anyway, great pic, very well drawn.

Mmm, but we like the philosophical moments. Poor Cesare.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it!

Moahahaha~~ Nearby, no doubt!
Either he's just left and Cesare's dazed expression is a post-coitus "I'm going to kill that mangy fox so DEAD..." or he's just about to show up and Cesare's crouching in the corner trying to convince himself that Volpe probably slipped on a roof-tile on the way here and broke his neck. Yes. u.u

Poor Cesare, living in denial.

You get very very good at that when dealing with the Assassins... The truth is just too horrible to accept. X3

You could call it fanservice - or you could call it self-indulgence. X3
This is what occupies the inside of my brain on most days~~

This! This so much! The shadows! The details! The wall!
While I think that game!Cesare totally deserved everything he got (he made real Cesare look stupid), I kind of pity the real Cesare Borgia. I mean, people disliked their family for being Spanish, after spending most of his life doing what his father wanted he died at 31, they took all his clothes and later even his tomb was destroyed. He didn't deserve that.

I'm glad you like it.
I keep my game characters and historical figures carefully apart - while it's amusing to apply real historical anecdotes on the game characters, they're not the same people at all. I find game!Cesare quite adorable, but not at all an accurate representation of the real Cesare Borgia, nor a very flattering one.

True, it really wasn't a very flattering portrayal, mainly intelligence-wise. Sometimes I think it's sad that most fans only know that game character, but then I see other people get to know the real character or produce wonderful art because of the game and then it's all better again.

I shall openly admit that it's primarily the game character I appreciate. I am impressed with what the real Cesare accomplished in his short life, but it's the game character I find adorrible enough to make fanart.

Just remember to bring a long enough rope... X3

I remember that story
though I can't help but think that he wasn't thrown in a cell, but was kept locked away in a room; maybe not as fancy as he was used to, but at least not locked away as a common criminal
except maybe when he was in that one prison thingy that was heating up so they could get information from him ...

Haha, yes, historically, this was most likely true. With AC-verse you can always play the "historical records were totally messed with by templars anyway" card to justify any artistic liberty, though. X3

I like your Cesare-pictures a lot. They look very good but this one is the best (in my opinion). I would not want to change place with him.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! Yes, this is the first time I feel I'm really pleased with how his face turned out.
I don't think anyone would. X3
