Isuardi Therianto - Asahina Akahiko
Called Asahina Red Cross in design, we wanted a young “paramedic” sort of Shugenja. One who would go into the fray of battle and get his kinsmen out alive. One of my favorites of the set. It’s very dynamic we get a sense of depth with his hands forward to cast and back to heal as arrow shafts fail to breach his air shield.
Alayna Lemmer - Asahina Nanae The Jade Champion
The goal with Nanae was to show off her in her new mantle of the Jade Champion. Which is a bit hard to do with a normal pose so Alayna came up with this sort of sweeping epic stance of her looking out into the distance. It has a lot of great detail to it and I think it’s a great look, easily one of my favorites Alayna has turned into me.
Doug Shuler - Asahina Akikusa
Asahina Akikusa arose as an unnamed Daimyo we were tasked with picking a gender, and an aesthetic, for. We chose female and attempted to have her carry on the values of the Asahina family by being powerfully in tune with the Air kami all the while remaining peaceful and serene. Doug Shuler brought her to life in the sand garden we imagined her in, contemplating the spirits, and in a bold choice he chose to use negative space to convey power flowing through her hand as she gently traces circles into the sand
Veronica Jones - Isawa Momoko
We told Veronica to just have fun and give us a fire shugenja, this was the result.
Chris Pritchard - Asako Rikate
Favored of the Earth Dragon, Golden Arm Blood of Kinuye. I felt a Midas style curse could be amusing to play with.
David Horne - Asako Chukage
The Master of Water rides one of the most relentless forces on the planet. David’s ability to draw water really impressed us so he was the go to for the exp.
