With this years calendar from the @calendar-krewe being out now, I'm happy to share the piece I've done. I was responsible for the cover this year and I went with my boy Kiró and the Enchanted Mounts Skins ✨ Fun fact, the Jackal skin was released after I had finished this piece so I had to add that one in the end as well. But I wasn't too happy with that haha. Please check out the complete calendar. Everyone did such an amazing and stellar job <333 Sponsored by ArenaNet

Part 5 of my series of building all Guild Wars 2 mounts in blocks. Fitting for the new expansion, here is the Skimmer (even though I don't even have the expansion myself haha). I found this frame for brick builds that I thought would be fun to build something for. Since it had to be quite flat it made sense to use the Skimmer for this.
Here’s the black skimmer feeding behavior in action! Their lower bill is quite sensitive and can snap closed the instant they hit on prey. I’m always amazed with how swiftly they skim. The beak MOST unique!
