Description

After seeing the Heroes of the Storm trailer I immediately took note of how badass archangel Tyrael is. How a character looks is one thing, how he moves is another. Something something uncanny valley etc. I don't know; maybe I was drawn to his ethereal tentacle-like wings; that's aesthetically pleasing. The whole "black leathery wings white feathery wings" concept is done to death in the fantasy world- I'm just saying.

I thought about doing the filly mane dressed as all six characters in the trailer... that didn't work out well at all. Raynor's only transferrable feature is his mask and maybe his haircut, Diablo might not look as recognizable with his features transferred over to a filly, the Lich King was masked and his armor would take forever to redraw. Nova Terra and the Queen of Blades are manageable enough for their almost-skintight suits and more memorable features, but beyond that it wasn't going to be easy to do all six.
