Practice I am highly dissatisfied with - chucking it into this side-tumblr lest it rot among the cobwebs of my other drawings of displeasure.

Coupled with the fact Trahearne's tongue was not visible in the initial drawing - I tried it toward the end only to amuse myself, not intending to keep it - but the drawing really does not look right without it. This probably sounds like an excuse, as if I'm attempting to deny setting out to draw Trahearne in such a manner. But it's truly the truth. Truly!

Really, if anything, you should blame the Firstborn for not looking proper any other way. Ha!

For all these reasons, I think this is the appropriate place for this drawing. ;p

#gw2 #sylvari #trahearne #malyck #also yes i changed the name for this tumblr yet again a while back #and i know i said this last time (and the time before)#but i really think i've settled on a name for this tumblr i'm satisfied with #if i change my mind again in the future you have permission to yell at me #;p #also as last time i kept the name of the old tumblr #hopefully any links aren't too broken #in hindsight maybe i should have waited a day or two as i did plan to post that cover art today lmao #and i do think it's funny how similar the two artworks are #i am single-minded as you can see

This might be a wip now

hehehhe

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #fanart #sketch #i'm learning how to draw shoulders for this #ok i might be learning for other reasons #but i like having more excuses to draw them for “practice” >:)

I tried to draw what I imagine Malyck is looking at in the last post.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #mordremoth #mouth of mordremoth #malyck #trahearne #sylvari #fanart #the design is not 100% accurate to the mouth of mordremoth #i like the idea of mordremoth having the ability to take different forms at will #from whichever parts of the maguuma jungle he wishes to construct his physical form(s) from #also this gave me an idea for malyck's jacket i want to try

I had the dubious urge to practice line drawing, which was (as it tends to be for me) a horrible mistake. You can clearly see the parts I lost patience with and just started painting over, hahaha...ha.

Anyway. The idea for this one is it is right after the fleet of Pact ships, lead by Trahearne, is disabled by Mordremoth's vines. I always enjoyed the idea of a Mordremoth-corrupted Malyck, under the Jungle Dragon's orders, being the one who finds him among the rubble. Our poor Firstborn is alone and disoriented (or maybe Malyck/other Mordrem have picked off any nearby survivors).

Malyck, pulling an injured Trahearne from the battered remains of his ship, tells him with vicious delight how his beloved Pact is vanquished. Not only that, but any survivors have surely abandoned him, after his foolish order to fire into the forests of Mordremoth's domain.

"Your Pact is gone, Marshal. You led them right into the Heart of Maguuma."

Malyck triumphantly presents Trahearne to Mordremoth - certain the Firstborn will soon turn and join them, given his weakened mental state due to his failure to protect the Pact.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #malyck #trahearne #sylvari #fanart #also if anyone more knowledgeable about sylvari lore knows if there's a canon way turned sylvari address mordremoth #i would be very appreciative if you let me know #i tried looking up the HoT faolain dialogue earlier and didn't find very much #and it's been a while since i played HoT itself and can only remember Mordrem referring to Mordremoth by name or as the “Jungle Dragon”

I felt inspired and had to get this out of my system

Tiny crop from something I'll probably not finish, because the full composition is a bit of mess

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #malyck #trahearne #sylvari #fanart #btw ty always for sharing your thoughts/reactions #i read and appreciate them all #and i would be lying if i did not admit they inspire me to draw more of them bahaha

I am sorry to report I still have the "Mordrem Lieutenant Malyck corrupting a captive Trahearne" headcanon still infesting my mind.

#gw2 #malyck #sylvari #in another reality where anet didn't have less patience with trahearne than mordremoth did #LOL I'M SORRY IT'S STILL TOO SOON #fanart #wip?

This started out as a 'respectable' idea, but Mordrem Lieutenant Malyck had other plans. Into the side blog it goes!

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #malyck #sylvari #fanart #if i end up posting here again i will likely change the blog name one more time #have i really not posted anything since 2017?

Heart of Thorns: Headcanon Edition.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #fanart #are you guys excited about the expansion announcement mere hours from now?!

I don’t know if it’s canon or not, but I always imagine that sylvari bioluminscence glows most brightly when experiencing intense emotion or physical sensation - whether it’s one of intense pleasure, pain, or mental anguish.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #wip #fanart #man i love sundays #might finish this at some point

Mordrem Lieutenant Malyck: “Let’s begin, Firstborn.”

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #sketch #fanart #will color later

shadows-in-a-dream reblogged your photo and added:

Mmmpf. Please. Can we have some more?

theleafwarden reblogged your photo and added:

You should do more of these “terrible mistakes...

@shadows-in-a-dream Such irresistible words! An idea materialized in my mind soon after reading your comment, so take satisfaction in knowing that you are directly responsible for the next sketch I post, haha.

@theleafwarden I’m pleased you like it, thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I hope my future “terrible mistakes” will likewise please you!

I’m going to tag any future text posts with “miragetext” from now on, so you can add it to your block list if you’re only interested in seeing image posts from me.

#shadows-in-a-dream #theleafwarden #miragetext

Once in a while, for fun I’ll try out coloring without refining the sketch like I normally do, and 90% of the time I quickly realize this is a terrible mistake. The late hours frequently cause me to make questionable decisions.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #unfinished #fanart #maybe i'll fix this later

I have a headcanon where Mordremoth uses a corrupted Malyck as one of his closest Lieutenants, and tasks him with corrupting a freshly captured Trahearne.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #sketch #fanart #there was so much story potential for hot!

mirage-at-sea is now ‘fleetingmirage’

I kept the old tumblr URL this time, so no links should be broken, and the previous URL will still work and redirect to this new one.

I believe I’ve at last settled on a permanent name for this blog. I put a bit more thought into this one to avoid an immediate desire to change it, unlike with the past two throwaway names, haha.

Quick sketch of a corrupted Trahearne keeping his Mordrem Guard Commander Malyck in line.

Don’t worry, this isn’t an HoT spoiler. Most unfortunately. Hehe.

Wish I had time to paint these two all day. \o/ The potential story possibilities for HoT was such a missed opportunity, unless LS3 magically redeems everything.

#guild wars 2 #gw2 #trahearne #malyck #sylvari #sketch #fanart

mirage-gaogamon is now mirage-at-sea!

Gonna post a new sketch in a few minutes.
