Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! It's the Year of the Horse, and even though Tyria itself is lacking in the mythical creature, why not spend some time with its horsiest denizens, the friendly centaurs of Dry Top? This Saturday will be the first of the month, which means it's time for another art party hosted by my guild, [VS] Verdant Shield!
For those not familiar, art parties are a concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV: in-game get-togethers for artists of all kinds to hang out, chat, and create together! For GW2 parties there’s more of an emphasis on hanging out and gathering references during the party itself, and then in the days/weeks following to work on your creations at your own pace and then post to the shared art party tag. We’ve used the same one (#VSArtParty) since the very beginning so you can go allll the way back and explore what people have made! The most important thing to keep in mind though is this: the ‘goal’ of an art party isn’t to be drawn, but to draw others, and share with the community!
Time and /squadjoin information is below the cut, but will also be posted again on the day of the party as squads go up!
Location Information:
In lieu of just using the usual festival stomping grounds in Divinity's Reach, we're returning to Dry Top in a fresh and horsier locale to celebrate the new year. Restoration Refuge is protected from the map's sandstorm effects, so just make sure you hug your favorite centaur and visibility shouldn't be an issue! The closest waypoint is the aptly-named Restoration Refuge Waypoint, but if you haven't made it to this spot yet you'll have to squeak through the hidden passage on the west side the Town of Prosperity to reach the spot!
Time & Squad Details:
The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Time (aka 3pm Eastern Standard Time or 4 hours before in-game reset). I’ll be hosting this one on my EU alt account, so please either /whisper or /squadjoin Runa Gravemourn for a taxi invite if you don’t end up on the right map!
The NA server party will begin 1 hour after the EU party’s official end, at 7pm Eastern Standard Time (aka 1am Central European Time or at in-game reset). I’ll be on my main account for this one, so please /whisper or /squadjoin Yui Kaiho for a taxi invite if you don’t see my customary white cat tag hanging around on your map!
Closing Words:
Sorry for cutting the notice extra short this month, I was out of town all last weekend and ended up with a cold that knocked me out for a few days, but I'm starting to feel better now and should be back to normal for the festivities this weekend! Feel free to dress up for the holiday or just bring your fantastic selves as-is, because man that new fashion template system is a bit whack atm huh? Regardless of your fashion choices though, I look forward to seeing you all again! Take care, and I'll see you soon! ♥
AYYY I…did this series of studies years ago and forgot a million times to post it. qwq9 I did another one on Asura bodies but I don’t have it with me at the moment. OTL I will recover it at a later date to post. <3
