My Lunar New Year piece for @calendar-krewe!

Took a little creative liberty with the mount theme since technically anything can be a mount...

Each time I get this line from the asura reveler who is wondering about the Pact Commander by the gate in Hoelbrak I remember my thief is now an Antiquary and goes around with Ritika by her side.

So I had to draw this.

Ritika is delighted to be part of the Pact Commander trio.

There were times when you would reach out for a little more of me Now I can see how much you hurt when I stood still But I'm learning what it's like to open up a different side 'Causе when something hurts this much I know it's real

Did a little edit to this piece to update it with Leyya's current hairstyle. Immediately after Leyya's injury in Nayos, with the heaviness of the battle to come weighing heavily on everyone's mind, Zojja faces trying to decide what her own future will look like.

Okay, now it's my turn to post art about Johannes (aka Hans) lol

His face design got a subtle tweak, here's some concepts:

Updated this rendered art to add a dark scarf too, so it will be better to frame his element-made scarf when he's in battle (I'll make a post about that)

NOW HERE'S THE BIGGEST UPDATE: HIS ELEMENTAL FORMS!

It's something I've kept to myself for too long >_> but now I finally drew it! And these are just the base elements, he also has Weaver forms (6 in total to match the 6 dual attunement possibilities) and a 4 elements big form!

The lore behind: Hans (around 5 years old) one day appeared at Kessex Hills, Darkwound Defile, without memories and by already having some magic connection to the elements he was "adopted" by the many elementals of the region and raised by them for a few years, thus developing a more wild variation of elemental magic that allows him to become an actual elemental when he overloads the attunement (his version of Tempest's overload).

Lore + art musings:

It's really odd having had this small comic in my head since A Bug In The System dropped! If you don't already know: im a gw2 returner, I played during PoF and dropped off at the beginning of IBS. So this has been in my head for. So. So long! I didnt have the art skill I do now, so its like almost cathartic being able to turn this into something.

At this point in the story, Leo and Rytlock are a year into their breakup (leo exploded at him during The Sacrifice when he learned Rytlock was responsible for freeing Balthazar.) The thing is. Leo is an exceptionally lonely person, and as time went on and especially having an existential crisis over the Olmakhan even existing, it gets a lot worse. Leo is a charr who is attempting to change the legions from within, but he is a guy who, in his very soul, is not meant to be a fighter. For as long as he continues to force himself down the path he has set in place he will always feel uncomfortable in his own life, like somethings always wrong. His relationship with rytlock was almost respite from that...until it blew up. So now Leo is met with continue to be lonely, or accept intimacy with Rytlock back into his life even if its devoid of love (on leo's side. Rytlock will always love him.) He chooses the facade of love over the absence in it...

The comic is like. Essentially its Leo making such a hail mary attempt at hey. What If I told you this thing, how would you (rytlock) react? Its hopeless, he knows the answer, that life is impossible for both of them, and even if they get back together he will not find the solace of that life in Rytlock. Its just confirming what Leo knows, but he reaches out to him anyway and he accepts the circumstances.

Work in progress:

The end of a king

(Joko vs Aurene sculpture)

(More pictures below ⬇️)

(Please don’t mind the crappy pictures, it’s almost midnight here, so the lightning does not help)

I completed Aurene’s claws and put her limbs in the position I roughly want them to be

This now needs to firm up for the night (the heatwave here is not really helping, the clay is a bit too soft), so I can hopfully finish her tomorrow

Joko and the staff are fully done, so this is the last sculpting part before painting 🎨

Back into guild wars 2 (again) Reworked Six as her own thing now. Former Aetherblade. And you know what? She has a tail. Because why not. I have the dragon tail equipped from a previous holiday event I like it too dang much to NOT draw it. Why does she have a tail? Science.

It's been so long since i drew Mórgacht that i think he was still glowing blue in my last art- The wildest thing is that he looks older now. Maybe just tireder.

“Aurene” 1329 AE, Tarir

Tarir already has, in game, mesoamerican influence within it's architecture. My character himself is also Mexican Indigenous, so I felt particularly emotional about the thought of leaning into that. So Here is Aurene inspired by Mexica art! In my mind, the exalted created this mural shortly after her birth, to commemorate it and soldify Leo as her champion... embedded into the walls of her sanctuary.

"The scholar witnessed the fulfillment of his dream."

Wow, I somehow never posted this one here - I saw fan speculation earlier about how the gw2 (?) teaser from today might be a cleansed Orr! :O Which reminded me of this older art I was inspired to paint shortly after finishing the Knight of the Thorn questline.

It involves one of my headcanons where Trahearne brings Malyck to a cleansed Orr, after the Firstborn cleanses Malyck from Mordremoth's corruption (this headcanon takes place after Heart of Thorns).
