Heroes of the Storm concept: Maiev Shadowsong

Description

Hi!
I hope that some day Maiev will be playable in HoTS. Because I'm waiting impatiently, I decieed to draw a concept for Maiev's design in HoTS.

1. Basic Maiev:
"Maiev Shadowsong, zealous Night Elven Warden is sworn to capture Illidan the Betrayer for all costs. To achieve her purpose, she is ready for many sacrifices if they are necessary to bring back the order."

Her basic look is generally almost 100% design from HD Warden (from Starcraft 2 serie with HD Warcraft units). Really nothing by my own design. I wish her basic appearance will have half of the face and ears uncovered, like she had in Warcraft 3.

2. Master Maiev:
"He said: the hunter is nothing without a hunt, so Maiev needed to find new prey. Now, armed with deadly blades, Maiev Shadowsong became the Iron Hand of Justice, ready to pursue and punish everyone who broke the law of the Kaldorei."

Master skin concept is basic Maiev, but with some features of her model from WoW - like fully covered face and ears. It's kinda poor for a Master Skin, but from the other side I personally dislike overloaded designs.
EDIT: upgrated that one a little bit, added some pattern on armor, made ponytail higher and little blades on shoulderblades longer. At least Master Skin costs 10,000 gold ingame, so it needs to be even overloaded. ;)

3. Priestess of the Moon Maiev:
"After death of Mother Dejahna, sister Maiev Shadowsong became new Archpriestess of Elune choosen to lead Kaldorei against the Burning Legion. Now, after ten thousand years, Maiev is revered ruler of the Night Elves alongside her beloved Archdruid Illidan Stormrage."

"Twisted fate" Maiev's design is my dream - I really wish something in similar style as Maiev's skin in HotS. While Tyrande is getting Warden skin in HoTS, Maiev definitely should have an Archpriestess skin. I decided to make the concept looking like merge of priestess and melee warrioress - Night Elven equivalent of paladin.


Background is taken from HotS.
