Unknown Concept Art (GuildWars 2?)

ah, well there goes my 2 ideas, right out the window

It's old artwork, that surfaced just before GW:EN. It seems to be related to the "chronomancer" (not sure if the term was coined here) theme that we'll never see in GW1. Loot at Ten Ton Hammer, they've got tons of awesome artwork:

Unfortunately, quite a lot of the interesting artworks get an Error 400. There's a nice youtube video showing quite a lot:

Last, but not the least (I found it the richest source of GW artwork), threads on the concepart.org forum:

On a somewhat related info, check the blog where Anet employees share their personal artwork, it's a great example of the creative mindset of this company:

It looks amazing, i never quite understood how Chronomancers would fit in to the Guild wars universe, but I'd really quite like to see after looking at this. Let's hope for GW2? haha.

It doesn't really fit in with the rest of the "jungle" theme we saw for Utopia, though the "hub of time" thing sorta makes sense. Makes me think this must have been like some Gate of Pain type of thing that existed in another dimension.

It's 2008 not 2009... that's wierd though

Just received a link from some random stranger containing what seems to be mostly used and unused concept art ranging from Utopia/GWEN to NF and beyond.

Here's one that caught my eye:

Holy crap that's amazing.
I really hope we will see this city in GW2.
This is like 100 times better than all capital cities in terms of awesomeness.

Looks familiar...


And here's why:
I must have seen the same thing you did.

Love GW concept art

I wonder if those "Possessed" are the 2nd profession of Utopia.
From the pictures maybe they used some kind of profession switching mechanic?

Unused Concept Art for GW2? Cool picture not sure if it fits the current GW theme but maybe in GW2 it is a normal place. It would be cool to run up to it from afar.

Very interesting concept, and it works very well with using campaigns. Each campaign would unlock a different "cog" on this map. Really would love to see what A-net is really doing and if they are implementing this sort of cog city idea.

its been said on a lot of the anet talk pages on the wikis that a lot of the guildwars concept artist do a lot of work out side of work. that could be one of those pices.

It says Guild Wars/Arena Net on the page. It may not have been concept work for any particular Anet game, but it definitely counts as paid work done for Anet pay, else they wouldn't get to slap their name on it.

It looks like something leftover from Utopia, but it also looks like something they could make into the Asuran capital for GW2.

If we get to fly in this in GW2:

I'm speechless.
Siege Kites - beyond awesome.

That is some really impressive art. I hope it gets utilized in the future. It would be a shame to have those ideas go to waste.

photoshop-ed calendar thingy. possibly using a watch as the base.

omg this is definitely GW2

wut?
.

Quite amazing art, it doesnt really seem to be very relevant to the current times of gw, but that said I could easily see the Asurans + 300 years or whatever the timeframe for gw2 is to have made a city like this. If this somehow worked into gw1, as an expansion, it would almost have to be another civilization/race as none of the current races have possessed enough technology to produce something like this as viewed by the current cities/campaigns.

Either way, amazing artwork and could be a boon for the future or a wistful look at what could have been
