This scene depicts such an occurrence. Crossing the plains of a vast grassland, they come across an artifact of immense power.
On an artistic side note, I've wanted to do this kind of thing for a very long time. I've always had this image in my mind of drawing vast, epic landscapes, I've just never had the expertise to do so. Especially after seeing the astounding work that is the concept art for Guild Wars. This piece is sort of a bit of concept art, if you will, for my own characters futures. I'm particularly proud of this work because, with the exception of my characters, their weapons and the backpack, I made everything else from scratch.
I also wanted to note that the thing that I am particularly pleased with is that it's so different from Guild Wars. It sort of illustrates what I feel is missing from the game; big, vast landscapes that go on forever, the only limit being mountains that you can see in the far, far distance. The world of Tyria is just a warren of tiny little canyons that we get to play in, I'm hoping we'll see zones like this in GW2.
While I know there is a vast amount that could be improved upon, I'm happy and surprised by how it turned out. What do you guys think?
As always, constructive criticism is quite welcome.
