Description The air was filled with tense as my warband and me approached the higher mountains. This was the last place we had to scout before returning to the black citadel - but we knew it was the most dangerous one. None of the scouts ever returned. So close to the dragonbrand there was no question why - the twisted creatures around here are Kralkatorric's puppets, filled with the hatred of an ancient dragon's soul. But that'd be nothing to stop the Charr from fulfilling their duty. Laina rustled with her wings. I looked up to the white raven on my shoulder. She felt uncomfortable. Suddenly the sky became darker. Flashes of lightning touched the top of the mountain next to us and as our leader stopped, a deep silence spread amongst the warband. The legionnaire looked at me and I knew what I had to do. Silently I sneaked above to get a better view of what lies behind the rocks. On top of the cliffs my muscles suddenly refused to obey my orders as my eyes beheld what caused the sky to darken. Hundreds of twisted dragons, each one bigger than our warmachines, covered the clouds with their black wings, ready to fly east, and our warband between them and their unknown destination, worth nothing more than a breath of cursed fire to kill...

My apologies if there are too many mistakes in the text above, I hope you can understand it....^^Β°

FINALLY!!!
I'm finished, nearly all of my copics are dead and my hands are, too....x___x
But hey, I like the result...at least about 80% of it.
As always, the background didn't turn out as I liked it to be, but I'm used to it xDΒ°

Here you can see a Charr ranger and his loyal pet, a white raven. He's a member of the Ash legion.
Oooooh, I can't wait to get my hands on this game!!!! >____<
I really hope I can give the original piece to the people from Arenanet at Gamescom this year.... .____.

I used copic markers, coloured pencils and a little bit of pastel crayons.

I hope you like it! :<

HOLY &#(&$#) amazing. *paws up* You've got the anatomy down, the color, the background, everything! Wow. If only I had copics. xDD

Thalbachin In reply to zeldog [2012-01-12 07:59:12 +0000 UTC]

Thanks alot dude, it cost me a lot of time! :'D
But it was definitely worth the effort, the only thing I regret is, that I, when I stood infront of the developers, I suddenly forgot everything I wanted to say, to thank them for their work and everything and just handed the picture over....=___=
*sigh*
Copics are nice to use, atm I'm trying to combine using copics together with colored pencils, that works quite well! : D
Anatomy still is a lot too 'human', but I realized that too late x'D

zeldog In reply to Thalbachin [2012-01-12 13:11:33 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I bet you spent a lot of time on it. I know I would have.

And you drew this for the devs? Omg, that's wonderful. You know, that's a good idea. I plan on going to Pax East this year since I'm like 20 minutes away from Boston, and I was wondering what I would say to them if I got the chance. Hopefully I won't forget to thank them for all of their efforts. Ahaha. I'll let'em know on your behalf as well! As long as you let me make fanart for them too. What a brilliant idea. Never would have crossed my mind.

& his anatomy isn't too, too human. You made him bulky enough that even if it was, it doesn't really fell that way to someone who has only stared at it for a few seconds. But I know how it feels to criticize your own drawing way after you think you're done with it. xP

I'm always getting nervous infront of people...=__=
You can do that! : D
I don't even know it they liked it.....
I'm sure you'll make it, I even was more nervous because english isn't my native tongue x'D
Why would you not be allowed to do fanart? XD
I don't have the right to tell anyone he's not allowed to do so (and even if I would, I'd never even think about forbidding it XD)
So, feel free to show them the best you got!

I think it's always good to see where you can improve further ; )
That's what makes us improving!
