    Is it just me who thinks of "Tsarina Kattarin" from the Warhammer Genevieve books (a long-gone vampire who was apparently a Kislevite monarch) when they see that?

    MangaDCU: Zauriel- Evolution by Nightshade475 on DeviantArt
    [​IMG]
    Finally showcasing Tenshu Obake Caruta card Halo Realm refugee, Zauriel. Hailing from Hawkgirl, Kendra Takagawa’s storyline, Zauriel is a powerful being in and out of the game itself. He is able to bestow wisdom upon Kendra and Shayaera, up until and after he is released from his card prison.



    Tenshu Obake Karuta: Winged Warriors (origin): www.deviantart.com/nightshade4…





    Zauriel’s Card Title within The Deck of the TOK is; The Celestial Angel. He is a member of the Eagle Host, and originally served as a Guardian Angel amongst the ranks of the Fravashim Order. This design is based on Zauriel’s initial appearance in the Grant Morrison JLA storyline. I wanted there to be a visual distinction from where he started his journey to my initial design where he has achieved a significant upgrade. As a member of the Fravashim Order, he has a single pair of wings that are more reminiscent of feathered wings. This is also in line with his initial comic design. As a Guardian Angel, he was tasked over the ages to protect the life of an individual human, one life at a time. His preferred weapon was the standard arm of the Angelic Order, a Celestial Sword. Also known as Caelum Ensis (Heaven Sword) amongst his brethren, it is forged of a metal originating in the Halo Realms and is capable of killing not only their demonic enemies, but it can also slay Halo Realm denizens, such as themselves. Only beings that are from the Halo Realms can safely wield a Celestial Sword; however mortals blessed by a Halo Realm denizen and trained to wield Halo Realm energies through Holy Rites and Incantations can also briefly handle such items, however must immediately perform Purification Rites to ensure they are not consumed by the energies. The sword is a Booster Card in The Deck.



    The second image is of Zauriel after changing Angelic Orders from that of the Fravashim to the Searaphin Order. As Angels spent more time amongst mankind, they began to subconsciously adapt themselves to be like them. Asmodela, a high ranking member of the Malakhim Order of the Bull Host of Angels shared a type of closeness with Zauriel that bordered on the forbidden; as Angels were not allowed to fraternize amongst themselves or with mortals. As her feelings grew stronger, she devised a way for the two to share a life together. Asmodela arranged for Archangel Seraphiel, who was the highest ranking member of the Searaphin Order and King Angel of the Eagle Host, to fall in battle. With his death, Zauriel was subject to a promotion into the Searaphin Order as a Lightbearer; while the next highest ranking angel in the order, Uriel, was promoted to fill his spot. This is the form Zauriel was in when he became trapped in the Tenshu Obake Karuta card that became his prison for hundreds of years. The design was heavily inspired by Deviantartist, Wen-M’s Anima: Angels and Demon line character, Gabriel. I chose to give this design six wings, as that is in concordance with the concept of the classic depiction of Seraphim (Seraph) angels. I felt it would add to the look to have the wings emblazoned with angelic script to further distinguish it from the previous design. In this form, Zauriel’s Celestial Sword is enhanced and is perpetually emblazoned with Heavenly Fire.



    The third design is Zauriel equipped with a suit of Celestial Armor; also a Booster Card in the TOK. The design invokes the more familiar elements from the comics’ introduction of the armor that was gifted to Zauriel by Michael; after repelling the invading force of angels, led by Asmodel. It also borrows some elements of another of Wen-M’s angel designs for the character, Uriel. Aside from allowing even further protection and enhanced Halo abilities, the armor allows for travel between realms. His Celestial Sword receives yet another upgrade when in contact with Celestial Armor. Its size increases to Zweihander length and its power output increases as well.

    Have not read those books.

    They're very old, but have been reprinted a few times. Kattarin never appears (having been staked long before) but it was the justaxposition of extremely "Russian" clothing (Kislev was "Warhammer Russia"), plus "vampire" in the new stuff, that caught my eye.

    Time for a sword fight!! [​IMG]
    [​IMG] This is part of a series of commissions I'm doing for the wonderful [​IMG] for his forthcoming roleplaying game called "Seventh Sun", specifically for a very cosmic prologue story "The Sixth Fall of Night", which blew me away from coolness and awesomeness as well! [​IMG] No website for this game yet, but I will share when there is one [​IMG]
    [​IMG] Are these working for ya? Are you excited? [​IMG]
    [​IMG] This one has been in the works for a little bit, epic spaceship times [​IMG]


    With some elements from other Slavic countires thown in, like flying husar wings on their bear riders - think they maybe even had some standard flying husar cavalery units
