Hrm... I might be up for this, if I survive AP tests... eh, that'd give me 2 weeks to work on it, that should be enough.

EDIT: Oh, is there somewhere I can find screenies of previous Masquerade Balls so I can get an idea what it looks like/what people did?

Last year's thread: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s....php?p=3895051

I already have a basic idea of what I'm gonna do. Got 2 weeks left of school so I won't have good time until that's all over though.

I gave it a go -



Hopefully I've caught any typos - I'm still not used to my laptop and having to hit the keys a bit harder than my regular computer, heh.

Edit: I just looked at the wiki page and saw the invite from last year...my poster being very similar is incredibly unintentional >.<

I took some inspiration from the picture that Mr. G posted of his Texmod to Serenity Temple for the occasion (thank you once again!), hence all the purpliness.

Good luck to all who enter, I can wait for this years Ball.

Ok, I gotta know, how do you guys get the mesmer? (I'm not wanting to use the mesmer itself, but a different image, but it's just as hard to get that as the mesmer)...

You just cut her out. That, or use somebodies render, in which case you should give credit to .

As for cutting things out, I use the pen tool in Photoshop. This is a decent tutorial.

Magnetic Lasso tool is what I used. I only have PSElements, so I don't have that fancy-shamncy pen tool. :P

@xNomaDx I was doing that, but god was it annoying.

@Mr. G Thanks forgot about that.


I feel outclassed as I don't have photoshop or any "special" picture program... >_>
