Aziza Elve (Elven Warriors)

Elven Warriors concept art based on Benin culture and legend from said region. The Aziza (African) are a type of beneficent supernatural race in West African (specifically, Dahomey) mythology. Living in the forest, they provide good magic for hunters. They are also known to have given practical and spiritual knowledge to people (including knowledge of the use of fire). The Aziza are described as little fairy people and are said to live in anthills and silk-cotton trees.

It was an interesting little project with the study of ancient metal figurines and images of modern clothing and ritual weapons from the region.

This concept art is for Ramior. This concept art is for an upcoming kickstarter for an new range of miniatures for wargame.
