i am having a very annoying time rn and am tired of drawing my own characters so.

I’m almost never available for the VS Art Parties and was thinking maybe I could throw this post out there; like or rb this as a ‘you have permission to use my nerds as inspo for drawing time’ if you want? i get new little guys to look at, you potentially get some art of your little guys. we all get to look at some neat characters. yehaw

Little Sapling AU Wanted an AU where Sylvari can awaken not just as an adult, and the community would basically raise the saplings together ("it takes a village to raise a child"). If a Sylvari wanted a small sapling, they could ask the Pale Mother to create and awaken one for them. Even still, if the sapling wanted to, they can still wait until they're fully grown and then emerge from the Dream when they're ready. AU made with @mme-chouette Caira and Rosa belong to Fen

It sure is a good time to be someone who is very chill about games, because with the fact we're getting more GW2 alongside GW3, plus probably extra stuff for GW1, I really feel like

[harukehn]

one of the many things I'm excited about re gw3 is the nature of it being a prequel and all the free extra depth that comes from that.

you're a vaelwarden, a protector of the people and spirits of orr. all the good your vaelwarden does, all the happy things that happen to them are going to be underpinned by these bittersweet, tragic feelings of "but in the end it was all for nothing". and maybe some people dont like that, but I think getting to see orr have it's fleeting time on tyria is like. awesome. maybe the vaelwarden will love orr and put their entire soul into caring for it all. and one day it'll all come crashing down and sink to the bottom of the ocean.

I could go on about how that the temporary nature of all that good ultimately not meaning much is very. life. that's life. and it still matters even if it all vanished. it matters because it vanished. but then its also what happens in gw2 that gives it so much meaning to me.

sure, everything your vaelwarden achieves is temporary, maybe nothing much in the grand scheme of things. but like 1300+ years into the future after everything you worked for was destroyed, someone who has never known you and your story will come along and be so dedicated to reviving the land that you loved and making it something new and cared for once again. some guy, part of a race you could have never conceived of, will rally the collective effort of the world for the sake of removing the rot and filth from this ruin that was so long forgotten. that legacy will encourage a whole new generation of adventurous spirits to flock to this place because they see hope and potential in what it could become with some care. they carry on your work in a new way.

the will of determined people echoing throughout the centuries. an unseen line between then and now.

thats just so awesome to me.

I will say.

There's a spot in GW2 that's a surface asuran settlement with little to no information known about it. There's a renown heart there, with the Priory investigating the ruins. The only things known are a) it's asuran in origin and b) it has artifacts dating to when Orr was a thriving nation.

Happy June and happy Pride, everyone! If there's any month where I actually make my announcement post on time, this is the one to do it - next Saturday (June 6th) will be the first Saturday of a new 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:

I've decided to make the Lion's Arch Gate in Gendarran Fields the Official June/Pride Party Location™, since it's a spot that Tyria Pride marchers have passed through every year, and will pass through again later this month during the event! It's super easy to get to via either the literally-right-there Cornucopian Fields Waypoint, or by walking north out of Lion's Arch (Trader's Forum Waypoint would be closest)!

Time & Squad Details:

As always, there’ll be two parties - the first one on EU servers and the second on NA ones - with an hour break in between!

The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Summer Time (aka 3pm Eastern Daylight Time or 5 hours before in-game reset). I’ll be hosting this one on my EU alt account, so please either /whisper or /squadjoin Paranomalous Plexxi 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 Daylight Time (aka 1am Central European Summer Time or 1 hour before in-game reset). I’ll be on my main account for this one, so please /whisper or /squadjoin Kirslyn for a taxi invite if you don’t see my customary white cat tag hanging around on your map!

Closing Words:

You of course aren't obligated to change up your outfit for the festivities, but feel free to do so (or bring any of those Pride-themed cryptids I've seen lurking out there) if you feel like it! At the end of the day these events are for all of you guys, and I really do enjoy hosting them even if I've been on the quiet side lately! Have fun out there, and I'll see you soon! ♥

(Somnus's Art Fight Page)

New ref for Somnus's dragon form :D My beloved big lizard <3 An AU commander of mine who was originally a sylvari and has since ascended to being the "Elder Dragon of Dreams and Nightmares" (or so he claims) by killing the elder dragons and consuming their magic.

(HoT Spoilers under the cut)

Due to sylvari being related to Mordremoth, I had the question of "could a sylvari become an elder dragon if they consume enough magic"? So I made Somnus to play around with this idea. :] (and he's quickly become a favorite of mine. hard to believe he's almost a year old already!)
