What is Tyria Pride?

Tyria Pride is a two-day in-game pride march from one corner of (core) Tyria to the other to show support both LGBTQ players and devs, and a fundraiser for Rainbow Railroad, a non-profit organisation which helps queer people escape state-sponsored persecution and violence around the world.

It's tons of fun every year, a ton of streamers join in so there are many ways to follow along even if you're not in game, music guilds hold concerts, and we have some pretty legendary giveaways! It's always blast!

For more info, check out the post on the official forums at tyriapride.com/2025

Mon Chat

Darzelya and Naramei are enjoying some Halloween time in Tyria. It was fun to make them interact together, since normally I draw one character per image, but it still was a challenge. I also want to keep drawing these two and make more GW2 art!

If you like what I do, you can also support me on Ko-fi!

Need... to stay...awake...

Poor Kail, doing your duty may be hard at times.

This took a LOT, and i'm still quite not happy with the light of the campfire and Nylah's pose and orientation, but time's up, so here we go ^^

(from next month i'm gonna try making a real schedule, wich will probably be VS Art party shot, postcard, my OC shot (will start making a character sheet and tell something), postcard (or another project if i find the time). These first posts were just to see if i could fit a schedule, and it seems to work albeit tight, so i'm appoving the method but lightening a bit the work needed)

Model: Kail Swiftvoice (Asura Soulbeast), Nylah Deftwill (Asura Mirage) and Koyu (Nature Spirit, Kail's mount and pets), my OCs.

Landscape: False River Valley, Lornar's Pass.

Artists of Tyria! Do you love adding world friendly text to your images, but hate consulting the New Krytan wiki page? Do I have some fonts for you!

Free in my Ko-Fi shop is a folder of four different fonts in .otf and .tff for your enjoyment. Have fun, and if you end up using any I’d love to get tagged so I can see!

Happy 20th Anniversary Guild Wars - some stuff

As it is Guild Wars 1's 20th Anniversary, I thought I'd post some old things I did, as well as some old screenshots (which I'll put in another post).

A few years back I had taken the high quality maps from that_shaman and "completed" them. This one is of pre-Searing Ascalon, where I overlayed post-Searing regions onto it, and then shaded those regions green to make them more verdant and matching pre-Searing, to give us a completed look of what Ascalon would somewhat look like in GW1.

This one is of Tyria, where I added the pre-Searing, polymock arenas, guild halls, and other non-subterranean areas not on the world map. For guild halls, as there was no specific place for them to exist, I found geography which was fitting for the shape of the hall. The biggest thing is adding pre-Searing and darkening it (I didn't darken the snowry area because quite frankly, it looked bad, so it's a small white area where white otherwise isn't). I also fixed an error in Regent Valley that exists in-game since the world map changed for Eye of the North, where some parts of it has the unfogged appearance for some reason.

Nomad Isle and Isle of the Dead were a bit randomly chosen, as the former has no full distinguishing marks and the latter is subterranean, so it's not in this image but the next...

Like above, this is a "completed" map of Tyria, this time with all the subterranearn areas shown - the main purpose of this map was to show the Eye of the North dungeons and how they would look with direct connections in the floors. It's quite interesting just how far north Frostmaw goes.

One cool thing that I'm pretty sure was unintentional by ArenaNet, is that the boss area of Heart of the Shiverpeaks, which shows the skies and is on fire, ends up in a slightly blackened area on the world map!

My original plan for these images was to set up a small website similar to this interactive map from E3 2004, which would show each dungeon, outpost, and landmark with descriptions of them. I ended up scrapping the project due to time and budget, but it's still something I'd like to see. Maybe if I get more free time in the future.

With Cantha, I didn't need to add very much because all the PvP arenas were already on the map even without that_shaman. I did make use of his map that included Minister Cho's Estate, and the main changes were again adding the guild halls, but also the Alliance Battle maps to it. Unlike the guild halls, I didn't randomly guess location based on geography, but rather as the maps rotated in over a few months I took not of where opening the world map centered on (I did the same for polymock) and placed them there, or as close as possible without overlapping other maps. As you can tell, the Kurzick side got very cramped. Additionally, I added Urgoz's Warren - though I had to shift it a bit because it overlapped with Ferndale normally.

Cantha doesn't have much in the way of dungeons, but I did have this version that includes The Deep and Tunnels Beneath Cantha. This also shows the Undercity on the world map, overriding Xaquang Skyway.

Elona's guild halls were probably the least challenging, as two of them are Dajkah Inlet. Like Tyria and Cantha, the PvP maps were already on the world map. But the Hero Battles maps were not, so I found fitting places for those, and then added the Sunspear Sanctuary, Command Post, and the two zones that are underground and don't overlap. Unlike that_shaman, I also found a way to mix in the Turai's Story mission map, though I did notice that the geography changed quite a bit hmmmm, so I don't blame that_shaman from not including it in his own map.

Even less than Cantha, Elona only has the one dungeon that overlaps with above ground areas - Caverns Beneath Kamadan. So that was a fast one...

This one is left unfinished, however. It was a premise of making a Nightfallen Elona map - turn waterways into sulfur, turn the soil into gradiants of brown to blackish, etc. In the end, too much work, but I did enjoy overlapping Nightfallen Jahai, Nightfallen Garden, the version of Marga Coast from the mission, and the guild hall which I couldn't add to the normal version.

I had also considered making a map of Hall of Heroes similar to that_shaman's map of the Realm of Torment, but I never got around to it. Maybe one day.
