Description
Technically Guild Wars 2, but that made for a cruddy title.
This thing has been sitting on my computer for forever. It's my Sylvari ranger, Idryd, and Baili’s Charr warrior from Guild Wars 2, being DRAMATIC. Idryd’s armor is loooosely based on some of the in-game armor I’ve had, though I swapped in a plain old Krytan bow because the powerful bows all look silly when you paint them. As for Craxus, well. His armor started OUT as a combo of a couple of armor sets, and then I just said NNNOPE and went bonkers with it. CRAZY GEAR MOTIF PAULDRONS 4 ALL.
The big splattery brush in the back is from the GW2 press kit, I believe. SO MUCH FUN to paint in this style.
Included a couple of detail shots because details. Now I just have to make time to actually play the game again, lolololol I am the worst.
Tumblr link with a couple of detail shots!

My two favourite races in the same picture, and so well drawn, what's not to like? Love how you worked that charr face into the pauldron, and great job on the sylvari's pose, he looks ready for anything. Beautifully done!

Nice detail with Idryd's face. Sylvari is my favorite race... mainly because they're British.

Omg! This makes me want to play GW! I haven't played in probably 2 years x.x. I always loved the game though. Should get GW2. Anywho, this is fantastic. And I love how real your Charr looks! I always loved how they resembled lions and big cats.

Yes, I love them!! I was running around in a party of one human (me) and three Charr--it was the best. X333 GIANT CAT PALS! Their animations are just fantastic--when they sleep, they curl into a teeeeeny ball and twitch their feet. RIDICULOUS. <3
I never played the first Guild Wars, BUT there are exclusive rewards in GW2 for playing GW1, so I've been seeeeeriously tempted to pick it up.

Omg! *geek out!* Now you have me completely curious about the story line! I definitely want GW2 if you can now have charr apart of your party! Because in the first they're your enemies taking over lands and they desolate practically everything! OOooo!! I so gotta have it xD

YES omg!! I REALLY like what they did with the Charr storyline. I think I'm the only one of my friends who doesn't have a Charr character! (Although I have played around in the Charr character creator because it's SUPER FUN)

xD!!! This is not helping the 'I want GW2' obsession!!

This is pretty cool! You captured the blotchy style of the GW2 Artwork very well.

Very nicely done! I love the details of armor/clothes, bow, and faces. I like the Sylvari's expression too, and his hands are well done. I need to get better at hands. And faces. But this is terrific work!

WOO! Love that game and it's art. I love how you captured the Sylvari.

I don't know anything about this game, but it is an amazing piece of art even with no context. I particularly love the background and color scheme.

Don't know much about Guild Wars because I don't have time to play video games, but this looks like a cool team up.

Incredible work. I'm surprised that not more people is doing GW2 fan art... it's so great to visually exploit.

Haha rad! I play a Sylvari too, and one of my best in game buddies plays a Charr - I have such a soft spot for them. Love how you rendered 'dem pauldrons.

*U* thank you! I love the Charr so much, and I love running around in-game with them (i'm the only sylvari in the group, so it's my short little plantman and GIANT CATBROS).

Haha, aww, I bet it was cute to see your little plant-boy taking three strides for every one bouncy big-cat step!
Charr: "Yeah, we like to hang with a Sylvari. We even call him L'il Catnip. Got a problem?"
