We’re back with another fan art feature from Honkai: Star Rail, the ever-popular space fantasy RPG from the same studio that created Genshin Impact! In this game, players take on the role of the Trailblazer, who begins their journey by waking up with no memories on the Astral Express, the cosmic train traveling through the universe on the Star Rail.

One of the factions that exists in the Honkai: Star Rail universe is the Genius Society, an intergalactic organization comprised of 84 members personally handpicked by Nous the Erudition from across the galaxy. Among the members of this faction is The Herta, esteemed member #83 of the Genius Society. The Herta lives at the far edge of the cosmos and almost never leaves her residence at the Clock Tower, preferring to delegate mundane tasks to her puppets instead, of which supposedly 281 exist. A powerful sorceress, she has collaborated with several others to create the Simulated Universe in hopes of researching the nature of the mysterious higher-dimensional beings, the Aeons.

Due to her charming characteristics, The Herta is having a moment on pixiv! Take a look below to see some of the best fan art featuring her!

What do you think of when you hear the word “witch”? Do you picture them with a pointy witch’s hat and robes flapping in the wind as they whizz through the night sky?

While witches are depicted in various shapes and forms in popular culture, the one thing they all have in common is an irresistible, otherworldly charm. Whether they’re master spellcasters or bumbling apprentices, you can’t help but be drawn to the magic they emanate!

It’s the most wyvern-ful time of the year, and if you ever needed an excuse to dress up, today is the day! Ghouls, zombies, and all manner of undead creatures creep out of their hiding places on Halloween for a night on the town, so get ready for some potentially spooky encounters in public!

What does every adventurers’ party or magical girl squad need? An ass-kicking, staff-wielding spellcaster, of course! No fantasy setting is complete without staffs, and these often sumptuously adorned magic tools are every bit as unique as the mage or spellcaster wielding them. When it seems like all hope is lost, nothing can be as reassuring as the sight of a person wielding a powerful-looking staff, ready to bark a command and unleash a blast of magic!

If you could design your own staff, what would it look like? Do any of the following appeal to you?

Elves or members of an Elven race are almost always prominent figures in the world of sword and sorcery. The long-lived beings are known for their striking beauty and enormous wealth of knowledge. Typically sporting a pair of pointed ears, these denizens of the forests are typically very much at home among nature and can tap into healing and restorative magic.

Though she’s only Half-Elf, Emilia (from Re:Zero - Starting Life in Another World) arguably serves as her story’s central character as most of its events include her in some way.

The broomstick is famously the mode of transportation of witches and other dealers in the art of magic. While this association between witches and brooms goes back centuries, recent art makes the deed look so wonderfully carefree and exciting that many children have often daydreamed about soaring through the clouds on their very own brooms.

Witch-in-training Kiki (from Kiki’s Delivery Service) has certainly made friends of all of the children in town, thanks in part to her ability to take to the skies on her broom.

In the world of knights and sorcery, you’d be hard-pressed to find a mage who isn’t carrying a magical item, such as a staff or a wand. These often-ornate tools serve as conduits for the spellcaster to allow for accurate and focused use of their magic. 

The lengths and designs can be just as diverse as the magician and the power they wield. Just like a swordsman with their trusty blade, these items can be seen as an extension of the mage themselves.
