Secret Makai Priest Ma Dai

N.B. For non-GARO fans, here's what I'm trying to do a parody of: [link]
And for non-Dynasty Warriors fans, there's this nice fan site that should tell you all about this.


Fun little chat with 11+ while playing Dynasty Warriors 7, then a few days later watch GARO: Red Requiem (the Movie! : D ) and then afterwards for a couple of days played DW7 again. Paraphrasing, of course:

Me: Hey, 11+!
11+: What?
Me: You know the reason behind Ma Dai's Magical Paintbrush of Doom that can summoned the paintings of Wei, Wu, Shu and Jin's emblem animals?
11+ Er, no.
Me: It's because Ma Dai is actually one of the secret Makai Priests and Knights of Xiliang that has been around in China for ages longer than Japan's equivalent. Which explains why the elder Makai Priest in Red Requiem is holding a huge paintbrush similar to Ma Dai and is therefore Elder Makai Priest Akaza's ancestor.
Me and 11+: *Laughs like lunatics*
11+: So, you're telling me that Ma Chao is a Makai Knight?


And then a few days recently, I've drew some rough sketches (as seen in my Twitter account), including my interpretation of Ma Chao's Makai Knight - Migoto Kishi MENGQI (or Splendid Knight MENGQI, if your Japanese isn't that great and yes, I've purposely put MENGQI in caps; GARO, ZERO and DAN (and to the lesser extent, BARON) had those in caps, why not him, but with his style name on?) and then I thought, why not do a parody of Ma Dai as a Makai Priest?

Unfortunately, as soon as I gave a picture of said Makai Knight to 11+, arguments spark flying everywhere, as we fiercely argued that Ma Chao's Makai Armour Mode should have been more look like a tiger motif with none of that dragon-ish scale crap (and historically, he was part of the Shu Five Tiger Generals) and I rebutted saying that most of the Makai Knigts are mostly Wolves-motif in default. But then it got worse as she spat back right at me, saying that MENGQI doesn't fit in with the Wolf-Dragon-Hybrid motifs and should have redrawn in a more Tiger-esque. And then, I got really angry and gave the excuse that she's not my client and she spat back with 'IS THIS HOW YOU BEHAVE WITH YOUR CLIENTS?! JUST BECAUSE I AM YOUR SISTER DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN TREAT ME DIFFERENTLY LIKE ALL OF THE CLIENTS', which ends up as the last straw for me, as I close my ears and shouted 'I'M NOT LISTENING! I'M NOT LISTENING!', before she finally left. Phew.

In the end, out of spite and swallowing my artist pride, I decided not to show the Ma Chao one in this final image for the dA version, due to this very heated argument and whether or not, the Makai Knight in questions was supposed to look more like the Wolf-Dragon Hybrid than the opposed Tiger-Dragon Hybrid (which IMO doesn't fit in with the world of Makai). However, I've post the two remaining images on Pixiv, for you for curiosity's sake: One with just the text 'Secret Makai Priest Ma Dai' and one with the Makai Knight in question, along with the text and rubbishly written kanji (sorry to the Japanese viewers).

Also, can you guess who's this lovely beautiful, but deadly Horror in the background is? Give you a clue, her name's not Messiah (pronounced 'Mesh-shi-ah' for those who are sensitive to religion) and she has a huge fetish on wanting her arch enemy's head.

XDDD try a wolf-dragon-tiger combination, best of all 3. Great idea though extending it to Dynasty Warriors and said figures
