EDIT: Ele up

Hi. I've been quietly browsing this forum for some time, and there's rather a lot of great art here! In fact, it's inspired me to pick up the pen again and get serious about improving my artwork for the first time in several years.

To that end, here's the first page of what will hopefully be a 10 page series; Guild Wars, the swimsuit issue.

Enjoy

This concept is made of pure joy. MsMassacre, this is absolutely brilliant! The skill descriptions and model/outfit information justs puts the whole idea right over the top. And the drawings are great!

Brilliant!

Thanks again! The skills and other text are the fun part for me too!

Now, I've got ideas for monk (which will prolly be next), paragon, ranger and rit, but don't have any good ones for ele, mez, warrior or derv, Any suggestions?

A Dervish lifegaurd (if that hasn't already been taken by the Monk) or 'Avatar of Safety'? Avatar Safety would cause you to implement asinine regulations, like no string-bikinis in case of high-winds or other nonsense.

I don't know, mesmer, Illusion of Caring? Wait a second, I believe there's a site full of quotes people have heard at the beach; I think it's 'Overheard at the Beach', could provide inspiration.

I have an idea for the ele one, when you get around to it... It's not a fully formed idea, but something connecting water magic to surfing would fit the swimsuit/beach theme. Maybe something like "if your target is a big wave, you go aerial for x seconds (50% wipeout chance with water magic 4 or less)"

Some of these are pretty good! I think the Paragon will use the lifeguard gimmick, but I do want to play on avatars somehow for dervies. I really like the 50% chance of wipe-out joke too. I've also gotten a few good ones in PM, including a few good ones for mesmers

I hope to have the monk one up before I leave on holiday on the 23rd but I'm not sure I'll make it. I'm trying to improve my drawing and coloring with each pic and that won't happen if I rush.

Bikini Thong of Cynn (Item Creation)

Hold Cynn's Ashes for 30-45 seconds. While holding her ashes your underwear shrinks until a scant crack forms around your back end area. Your movement become seductive and All foes have a 75% miss chance and spells that target you are cast 50% slower. This is a Distraction effect and has no effect on blinded opponents.

GloryFox, wouldn't it be easier to just say it causes "cracked" armor?

Here's page 3, last one for the year. Thanks again for all the support.



I just realized all 3 pics so far have a 2nd character in them! This one, though, is the first one where the 2nd character actually survives!

Hold Cynn's Ashes for 30-45 seconds. While holding her ashes you have Cracked Armor. Your movement become seductive and All foes have a 75% miss chance and spells that target you are cast 50% slower. This is a Distraction effect and has no effect on blinded opponents.

Thanks everybody!

Forget about my favorite core class? Certainly NOT! Why, I'm sketching a mesmer AS WE SPEAK!

Somewhat stuck on the dervish tho. Might go totally leftfield with it and start doing major NPCs like Jora or Varesh rather than finish the 10 classes.

Thanks everybody!

>ps. I love the sand effect on the last pic!

Thanks. I used a scatter brush with lower % opacity on the dissolve setting. Did 3 layers with different size brushes, then blurred them to varying degrees and pasted them together. Then I had to go back in and lighten or darken various bits to varying extents so they didn't blend in with the background.

>Looking forward to ele

I can't imagine why Maybe I should draw the ele in one of those 1920s full body suits with the red stripes just to mess with people.

>Er, this Mesmer isn't going to take another two years, is it?

Nope. Should have her up next weekend.
