Slash Beast · Oct 29, 2009, 10:23 PM

Second and third pictures are old and aren't all that new. First and last are new though.

Right; they were recently confirmed as GW2 concept art, though.

Dredge caves shot really brings something new to their dwellings in my eyes. I foresaw them making primitive dwellings from wood and stone, not using the natural mountain to dig out caves.

Thanks for the pictures Shew

Actually you got it backwards....Digging in the mountain IS the PRIMITIVE thing to do .. as using wood and stone is much more advanced.. think about it whats easier do a holenced.. shoveling through a mountai or forming beams from wood and cutting stone

But these look like very advanced stonecutting techniques: perfect circles, with angled staircases leading to them....

which makes me think these are Dwarven mines that the Dredge have taken over.

Or the Dredge have gotten their hands on some Charr drilling machines.

Well the dredge are giant mole rats, so this kinda makes more sense.

Yes forgive my poor word usage.

I meant that I thought they used stone and wood as very simple shacks. Caves bring a different light to their race.

And Mordakai does bring up a good point, these are very cleanly carved caves, which means the Dredge are very precise in their architectural work.

Xia added another piece. I've updated the OP.

HawkofStorms · Oct 30, 2009, 04:38 PM

Don't know if I like the style of the newest one. That girl's right leg also seems bent at an odd angle if you look at the knee.

Is this really GW2? I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with Kaineng City/Cantha. If that is the subject of the artwork, then it honestly surprised me.

That said, what you see in concept art doesn't always make it into the game... at least not exactly.

GW2 is set 250 years later, not totally impossible to think this can happen in GW2.

Check the update to the OP!!!

sca2pula · Nov 01, 2009, 12:26 AM

Here's a link to the blog itself with several renders http://adventuresinunwrapping.blogspot.com/

Shew · Nov 01, 2009, 12:30 AM

I'll add that to the OP, and I fixed the links.

Tzu Qui Jinn · Nov 01, 2009, 01:09 AM

The Angel Statue looks like Kormir but with no blindfold. It also might also be Dwayna. Now that I think about it defiantly Dwayna.

Malchior Devenholm · Nov 01, 2009, 01:11 AM

Love all the renders, particularly the pub and the angel statue.

Heck yes for PUBS!!! Now we don't have to get wasted outside all the time

Kyo · Nov 01, 2009, 01:17 AM

Also looks like its gonna be Divinity's Reach pub(file is called divinitypub). Although the graphics "style" seems quite different than GW1

Thalador Doomspeaker · Nov 01, 2009, 04:44 AM

Fantastic! The graphics are astonishing!

Personally, I love Durmand Priory, Divinity Pub and Krytan Farmhouse, but the others look nice as well.

It's also good that they've kept the style from GW1. If you go to Nebo Terrace in GW1, you'll see similar farmhouses that in GW2.

And of course, the concept arts are amazing. Again.

Archon · Nov 01, 2009, 04:47 AM

<3 Concept art. Thanks for the files.

Naoroji · Nov 01, 2009, 07:17 AM

The Durmand Priory one looks like the BOMB. Awsum! ;D

Jonny10 · Nov 01, 2009, 07:23 AM

Dayum! arenanet has the best concept art artist I've ever seen! and not to mention how much they have improved since the original Guild Wars.
I hope we get concept art as a loading screen again.

as for the art by Daniel... I think we're going to have some nice vast views in GW2
