GW2 art update

[Geroui]

@KnightHonor

Not to bring your ideas down, but the top 2 could be something close to playable.. while the rest of the bottom part could just be Monsters/Enemies to fight.

Not everything you see in the art will be in the game. It is called concept art for a reason.

Here's a tip before mindless speculation: Look at the art pieces' titles!

I love how they use Mesoamerican influeance in their art, The Asura temples are almost replicas of many of the Mayan temples in southern Mexico. That second pic of the two temples connected looks a lot like the Temple of the Niches in El Tajin. Look and see http://www.delange.org/ElTajin/ElTajin.htm I like how A-net uses past clutures for their inspration on buildings.

Aren't the first two pieces from Utopia though? I mean, I pretty much tried to get a look at any of the art they made for that, and I'm fairly positive that those were in that pile...

[Huginn]

This is not a gw2 3d model (thankfully ), but i thought I would post it anyways.

If you remembered the pyre test anet had, this is one of those that i recently found.

[Sirius]

Pyre with eye-liner.

What is the world coming to?

[Shew]

some silhouettes

note: it does not say GW2, but it is copyrighted by ANet, and I don't remember being able to dual wield two different weapons



the next-to-last set of armor to the right in the next image is in a GW2 render, so I bet this is GW2 concept art
EDIT: This one is GW:EN concept art.

[Malchior Devenholm]

Norns seem to have a need for horns

Also, those silhouettes are very intriguing indeed.

[Whisper]

Xia's done a new interview with Richard Anderson (new art )

Though having some bad experiences with linking to his side before..... I better warn you
the article itself does not contain graphical nudity, but other parts of the site do (It's a art side what would you expect? :P )

DOES CONTAIN SOME DEGREE OF GRAPHICAL NUDITY! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

[Shew]

EDIT: @Whisper: Thanks for post! I've added it to the OP. Which ones are for GW2/ how can you tell?

The first three & the fifth have been confirmed GW2 art. There are others that look like they could be for GW2, and there are some that are likely not (astronaut w/ a gun & the one above it).

[Konig Des Todes]

That second piece from Shew is EN design. Half of those are models in EN as well (even the second to last on the right side ).

.......darn it

EDIT: It wouldn't let me post all caps for emphasis.

Nice find, Whisper! I see some potential GW2 concept arts there (the very first is in the Art Book): the battlefield themed, the forest, the whitish art is the background of guildwars2.com and the very last one with the two soldiers seems to be Guild Wars 2 art as well.

Pretty decent interview and work of arts, by the way.

I just think Xia does a great job, both for the gw community and for the aspirering artists . Really it's awsome to have a member of the A-net art team handing out tips ^^.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking Koing? If so, I'm going to enjoy meeting a new "queen" in GW2.
