Can the picture be a free handed drawing of an already existing one? Original pieces of ANet or other peoples art. May be used for inspiration only. I'm looking for unique pieces of art, not a sketched copy.

And if nith47s drawing is not original becouse balthazar is in the same pose as the statues,if thats what you mean,then i guess mine (which im working on,ok will be working on ) is not original too couse he aswell stands with longsword in his hands...
...but i must remind you longsword is essencial for balthazar as manual says...tradition

No there is nothing wrong with your piece. Continue as you've been doing. While using a point of reference you have made something unique. Your entry is perfectly valid.

i really enjoy seeing all the guild wars fan art that people do, i love that people care enough to devote such time and effort to art that we all as a community can appreciate

Okay from now on can all images be posted as links. I really don't like pages being stretched vertically or horizontally.

^_^ from guild wiki:

"Lyssa is usually portrayed in her natural state; a pair of twain, intertwined goddesses, no illusions or glamours involved. There are stories of young men stopping to gaze longingly at statues of the beautiful goddesses, only to forget themselves and die of thirst while simply looking on."

Remember guys... don't forget to drink!

"So you see Lyssa #1, when I put on the balthazar mask, that means I'M the daddy"

"Awww but Lyssa #2, you're always the daddy, Why am I always stuck as the ivy wearing one!"

Funny, I was originally thinking of a different pose, in which they both shared one wierd double mask thingy, but I decided on a more classical style pose, after drawing inspiration from the mesmer statues in game.

*changes web page, because the thought of the big scary beard mask on two lovely ladies isn't nice*

btw, the naked breasts are legal for the contest right? I don't think they are improper (greyfox smartly covered the problem, haha)
