Malthael ref sheet -WIP-

Project main tag

The eldest (and definitely most "messed up in the head") member of the angelic family coming right up! Malthael might even be the very first being alive in all of Creation, if we assume that the demons came into being later than angels did - which is an extra damn shame, given how he ended his career. And although he is still literal eons away from turning into the Angel of Death in Then There Were Five, he is still not the sparkliest, warmest personality out there, for certain...

Also he will be the narrator of the comic itself. Buckle up, cupcakes.

Masail (Cool of Wisdom Reading Edition)

The original work describes that the environment where the angel of wisdom lives is composed of a pool, which is covered with many stones, like a maze. The pool carries the emotions of everything in the world.The design uses a large number of wisteria flowers, and the stems of the flower also contain a pool of wisdom, so it is ice blue, which shuttles and feeds these flowers as a symbol of emotion and vitality.

After Masail's disappearance, the pool dried up and the plants gradually withered.

I just got into Diablo lore and although I never played it I love how they design angels. And Malthael looks kidda cool so whatever

[nightscreeching]

I noticed that the wizard in D4 is very similar to my version of Malthael in human form. I have saved a drawing that is very many years old, as well as a sketch and a finished work by an artist I know

Then There Were Five - Auriel -ref sheet-

“Then There Were Five” is a 18-page-long (+ a cover) fancomic that dives into the distant past of the Diablo universe, narrated by Archangel Malthael. When the High Heavens were still young and the Eternal Conflict had yet to truly take place, there had been four Archangels - Malthael as Wisdom, Auriel as Hope, Tyrael as Justice and the youngest, Imperius as Valor. All was in balance, and all was good. That is, until the Crystal Arch itself disrupts it all, by unexpectedly giving birth to a fifth.

Kindness and motherly care reincarnated, Auriel and her ilk were born not long after the establishment of the Silver City itself. Her "pure sunlight" helpful attitude offers a good counterbalance to her brother Malthael's overly practical and cold calculations. She leads the Chorus of the High Heavens which has the ability to influence the Crystal Arch in its slow growing of the city itself. Her folk provides support and healing to the frontline soldiers in these new skirmishes against the new enemy. Auriel is often the bridge between differing opinions, and she is quite good at adapting to new situations as well.

---

The Lady of the High Heavens and the Heart of the Angiris Council. Also my main girl in Heroes of the Storm (or at least used to be when I still had the time to play). As far as angelic characters go, I truly believe Auriel was one of the best addition to the team from Blizzard, she shows of the actual kind and protective side of the otherwise militaristic and cold as fff Angelic Host. To that end, I actually changed her design ever so slightly. I take the HoTS version as base for the Council members whenever possible since those designs are deliberately simpler than their D3 counterpart. However, Auriel is full of spikes and pointy armor pieces in that modell, so I have basically took a chisel to her and rounded those thorns down. Shape language is very important, people, spikes do not befit a character as caring and kind as she is!

Only two are left, however one of them has to be held back until the comic is actually done, so you guys only gonna see one more ref sheet for the time being :) After that, I am probably going to create practice sketches (or paintings?) about the Silver City itself, cuz lord knows, I'm gonna need those for the background in the comic. And also probably other angelic models for background extras. It's gonna stay busy after the ref sheets, fear not! ^^
