"Mad Guardian" Asuran Guardian Art

Sylvinstar

In the spirit of "you can't ever have enough GW2 stuff to look at before launch",  here is a piece of fan art I did in Corel Painter.  It is too large for the viewable area of this post so here is a link to a better size if you are so inclined (click on the picture at the Blog and it will enlarge):

Nice work, does seem to be lacking a little impact on the asura though, he seems to be very casually attacking More the merrier either way though

Very impressive. Personally I can only do doodles so I'm always impressed by people that can draw. Nice work!

Some reason when I look at this picture, it reminds me of bugs bunny and squidward slapping somebody on the show and telling them to shut up.

I like to put a little story behind every piece I do.  On my blog you will see that I've entitled the piece, "The Mad Guardian".  He is smiling because he is a little insane (even for an Asura).  If he was an in-game character he would have no regard for danger, and no real anger/animosity (hence the lack of what I call 'warrior face' that you see in the painting).  He is just happily duking it out with his foe.

 

Thanks for the compliment

That is the feel I was looking for - comical not serious.  I find their animations in game really lean towards the comical.

Thanks   No matter how much I plan my values ahead of time, I always end up having to spend time near the end pushing and pulling the lights and darks around a bit.

Thank you.  A wise comic book artist I once interned under told me that no matter your skill level there will always be people that will like your work.  Somewhere someone is probably jealous of your uber doodling abilities
