Maiev - putting the "owl" in "scowl" since before 10,000 BDP!
For the most part, I kept the eyeshadow pretty basic so it didn't overshadow the elven markings. Inspired by all the owl motifs in Warden gear, I went for a lot of sharp angles and long lines. I also played around with "drawing in" my lower lashes, mostly as a nod to the Warden cloak with all of its daggers.
On that note, I included a bonus photo of a separate eyeshadow look inspired by the Wardens. I wanted to do something more realistic and in-character for Maiev, but I also wanted to mess around with Warden colors and try out something a little more abstract, hence its inclusion!
The Wardens are known for their pragmatism and minimalist tendencies, so I dressed this set very simply. I took most of my inspiration from the Vault of the Wardens, which doesn't have too much in it other than owl figurines and dozens of prison cells. Naturally, an owl had to be my centerpiece. I offset it with a pair of arrows in place of a glaive and completed the set with a green banner. The candles are the only thing you won't find in the Vault, though there are a lot of them strewn around Wardens' Redoubt in Azsuna.
I want to point out my favorite detail since it's kind of easy to miss: the green backlighting. Though green is a traditional Warden color, I actually included it explicitly to evoke fel energies. The demon hunters were imprisoned in bright green cells in the Vault of the Wardens, so I'd like to imagine that there's one just off screen somewhere, hence the light (that said, I am completely in love with the inherent symbolism in having Maiev backlit by fel).
