Warhammer - The Eight Winds of Magic By KaneNash Watch

Also known as Total Warhammer Fantasy Harem, Miss Mortal Realms and Battle Wizard Waifu Edition, this is my vacation project and Christmas present, it took me 1 day per wind to get it done (5 to 7 hours). I think this has been my largest drawing project ever and I am quite happy with the final result, lots of challenge, lots of fun and well, lots of hard work.



And now the design commentary:



The basis of this are the Battle Wizards of the Empire from Total Warhammer, of course, it can work good for Age of Sigmar too, what with Azyrheim having eight towers of magic where wizards are trained, too much potential to miss that one!



Shyish: I decided to give her a gothic look, with more than a shade of Hex Maniac, at least in the face and hair, she is the shortest and slimmest of the team, also a bit ill, what with having Nagash as part of her source of power. "The first one to start jokes about bones gets a Purple Sun of Xereus to the Face"



Ghyran: Life is often equated to maternity, right? So why not a motherly look? I think she already has children, which of course she won't bring to battle, overall the kindest of all, also, got well endowed, there is some inspiration from Mamako Oosuki in her design. "Oh my, you are hurt, come here let me heal you"



Ulgu: I think she is the close thing to a classic witch I made, what with her hat and cocky posture, there is a bit of Sakuya Izayoi also as I think she is the most stylish girl, also a bit of troll, like, she probably has never been caught due her shadow powers, and I feel she should have a british accent, for some reason. "Well, well, well, what we have here?"



Hysh: Funnily enough she is the younger sibling of Ulgu, like, the responsible and serious one, also, I took some inspiration from Sally Whitemane, given her ecclesiastic look, of course she has the best hat, in true she is tsundere, with her dere side being akin to GS Priestess, figures. "I know you did something, like, cheating or something! Confess!"



Chamon: Ahem, you can start the jokes about Balthazar Gelt actually being a woman in disguise, not the brightest move but I had to start somewhere, also, she is rich, like, she has probably lent everyone else in the picture their gear and stuff (except for Ghur, she is a survivalist), also, the only one with armour, but strangely enough, no pauldrons. "Supreme Lore!"



Aqshy: A very animeish design, in fact I took some inspiration from Ryuko Matoi's ultimate form to get this one done, right to the pose although no scissors, why should she need scissors? Also there was the challenge to actually make her suit SFW while still provocative enough. "Oi, you! Let's get this post done!"



Ghur: This one was a bit of a challenge, you see, I wanted to avoid going too over the top because, what with too much muscle and leopard thongs, so instead I looked for some concept art from Far Cry Primal, which was actually quite interesting, also it took me some extra job due the animal shades and the cute falcon pet, "I am behind you moron, swim daily and don't use that awful colony, you know?"



Azyr: STORMCASTS! No. Instead I decided to go the geeky side of the Celestial Wind, with her being an astronomer as well as an astrologer, still, some hints of Sigmar being strong on this one, just no abuse of pauldrons, armour and hammers, on the contrary, some long socks and a summer dress. "You know I know you were going to say so!"



And that's it, hope you find this one nice and fun.



NOTE: Rumours of attempt of Slaaneshi infiltration at the Miss Mortal Realms event are totally unfounded, also, ignore all those awfully dressed tentacled and spiky remains which look dissecated, entangled, cut apart, head-exploded, metallized, burned, clawed and electrified, nothing to do with the event.
