Description
Another study of a character of mine form GW2. Doing some concept armor and facial design for her. I like her for the most part, but I'll continue to change her, here and there.She sure changed a hell of a lot since the first time I drew here:

woooow, this is *amazing*! I just came home from a really hard exam and felt kinda worn out and horrible, but seeing this totally rejuvenated me! Now I'm really inspired and want to spend the rest of the day sketching, might take some time off and actually do that. I just love your character designs, especially Aurea, Dahlia and Dixun. They have such individuality and "presence" for lack of a better word. They feel real. I'd love to see you work in the game industry creating characters like this someday. If not games the movies or comics. the world needs more designs like this.

Glad my work could cheer you up a bit, Tzu. Those are all things I try to shoot for when designing characters - though its something I still need to work on so that I can nail it down on a consistent basis. And it would be pretty cool to get some of these designs fleshed out in a game or movie - so who knows?
By the way, now that I'm done with my "version" of the Edge of Destiny, I might have some time fit in a piece of your Ranger. Fingers crossed!

Holy.
That's amazing. I wasn't really feeling the Sylvari because they looked sort of too plain but this is gorgeous! She looks so badass and I love the purple hue. I can't believe how you've created the armor

Yeah, they look a bit too innocent and "goody-goody" for me. I'm not sure if there'll be an option to make Nightmare Court Sylvari, but I certainly hope so.
And I'd love to work on Anets art team. One day, maybe.

Far as im aware, you cant. Nightmare Court is the anti Pale Tree/Ventari Tablet faction. Same as the splinter factions that followed humans and char when they became allied.

Ah, that's a bummer. Hopefully they at least add some mangled and twisted features so they're not so "Jolly Green Giant" looking.

Ooooh I really love the details. I can't wait to see all of the sylvari design options :3

Not sure if they'll include the Nightmare Court in the CC options for Sylvari, but I hope so. Not too fond of how innocent they look. Hoping there are more darker options so I can get her to look something like this.

looks really cool - I'm very curious about Sylvari design, mainly armours since we've already had a little sneaky at character creation. I hope the designers implement especially the heavy armour options in a hard, edgy way (as opposed to soft and leafy? I dunno XD), very very curious indeed.

Didn't they say that you could pretty much wear any armor in the game, just as long as it was in the same weight class? I'm not too fond of how innocent the Sylvari look, but I'm kind of crossing my fingers for the Nightmare Court. Only being able to wear leafy armor on the Sylvari would be kind of lame :\
Sure hope there's something like this in there where they use bark instead of metal. Seems like it would be strange to see a Sylvari decked out in metal platemail.

true that. and they will have to accommodate for the totally different anatomy of the Asura anyway, so I reckon they'll give the Sylvari a completely unique look. Well, I'm certainly hoping for that. It's bad enough how horrible most light armors look on Norn, and especially Charr

Lol, did you see the screens of the lvl 80 armor? I saw that concept Kekai did of that sort of Steam Engine armor on an Asura. Looked hysterical on him.
By the way, how did you like the Beta? I'm going through some serious withdrawals right now.

I've seen random pics of armor here and there but was never quite sure what's actually gonna end up in game or which level they were for. Most of the stuff looks quite promising though
Oh my word, I LOVED beta! I didn't really have any trouble logging in like other people, and genuinely had a fantastic time :3 and yes... withdrawal. I want back there asap!

Not too sure how I feel about the level 80 armor. In all honesty, a lot of the lower level armor look will probably be my final choice - functional, but beautiful designs. Mostly all of the lvl 80 armors I saw looked a bit too over the top for my tastes.
I didn't have any trouble logging in either, which is good. I would kill to at least have access to the character creation screen.
What professions did you play? I was spanking ass all weekend as a Warrior just so I could see what the elites were like at lvl 30 - totally worth it. The next Beta I'll have to experiment with the other classes for sure.

I didn't want to go crazy on a single class, because I don't want to take away too much of the novelty prior to release

That makes sense, though playing my char that long just made me want to rampage even more through the countryside. Guess the worst part is that he'll be erased come the next Beta.
I'll have to give the Guardian a try then. My brother said he was having some serious fun with it, so now I'll have to see for myself.

Heh, yeah I hear the greatsword schools everything. I gotta get my hands on the engi and their sentries.
