Possible that the dragon could be part of a 3D skybox, and we mainly fight its generals as "final boss" kinds of situations (like with the Great Destroyer.) Or they could pull a "hidden in darkness" kind of thing like with Abaddon.

This thread has taken a very strange turn....

Maybe move all these posts into a Concept Art Hallucinations Thread?

(I don't doubt people see things, I just doubt the images are intentional. Stare at your ceiling right now, you'll see what I mean).

Quick, ArenaNet, release something new before everyone goes crazy!

I look at the art. I see what you mean, the man, the "face/shield", the "destroyer-like creature" the "bear head" - I see it all. But I see the man and the face as shadowing and levels of the spirals in the rock, the destroyer-like creature and the bear head are rocks. I see the objects, but I see them as textures and shadowing, not as objects. Sorry for looking past the initial sight.

That looks like one of the Redemptor Concept Arts actually...

But as Karuro said, it's just mirroring of the texture, which out of chance makes a "being" shape.

No offence but just use you´re imagination and really i look at my ceiling and i don´t see figures flying around and im at normal human commen sence right now. And Konig I mean no offence Good friends after right ?

And anyway it may just be a luck that we actually get to see a figure in it but that doesn't make it fake it's just luck and some other word i just forgot how to type.

C'mon guru, divert your attention away from your hallucinating images and give me your best shot to dissect my speculation about the concept art.
I threw the ball, all you have to do is chase it and throw it back.

If you believe what you want to see, you'll see it. So yeah. But what difference does it make? Designs on a rock probably dont mean much.

that's a bit harsh to be honest cuz i still see the faces etc behind the slow poke Slowerpoke always brings some lols however people i would stop talking about these as people are calling me insane now and the more poeple taking the piss means we're more likly to get bans and thread closure.

Agreed. Anyone that's every been to the Grand Canyon when the sun is going down can testify to seeing all kinds of shapes, faces, etc. when the shadowing occurs.

Two people could look at the same cloud and see different things. It's all about what you imagine it to be. Convincing others to see what you see, is altogether something else.

Three more partials, although this looks like it's from the druid concept art that was floating around a while ago

The fire one looks like a charr of some sort. A think.

EDIT: yup, the green one looks like the druid/melandru/sylvari concept art.

You mean chance? Or perhaps coincidence?

Anyways, the only figure that has been seen in that concept art which could be there would be the "destroyer-like figure." As the creatures of the dragons are made from the elements for the most part (which could blend into the surroundings to a degree maybe). But that still just looks like jagged rocks to me.

Looks like some sort of battlefield. Can see an animal, a torn flag on a pole, and a polearm. Either Ring of Fire location, or someplace highly affected by Primordus and his minions.

http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos...846783_n.j pg

Can't get the large version sadly. By looks of the smaller version, it's a jungle. Might be either focusing on the Druids, or the Sylvari. In my belief.

Random thought: Wouldn't it be cool for the Sylvari towns to be made out of plants? I'd like that. ^^

Hardest one to tell. It reminds me of the ice structures in the Far Shiverpeak Dungeons. (the floating diamond-like objects).

People have mentioned that the trailer may or may not be all CGI, or partly CGI. This has been bothering me, as a completely CGI trailer would seem to contradict this:

... As I said last week, I’m confident that when you get your first look at what we’ve been working on, you’re going to love what you see. Stay tuned for an exciting week ahead.
If there is absolutely no in-game footage in the trailer, I will call foul on Anet (again). I also want to warn people to not get too ahead of themselves, as they have at this point seen nothing of the game yet, have no info on its gameplay elements, and O'Brien's statement seems to indicate at least a year more of production.

And because I have sleep to get tonight for work/school tomorrow, I personally am not going to be staying up till 3 AM PCT. It's been 2 years and will at least be another, it can wait a day...or a week...or whenever.

EDIT: Evangelion ftw. But in the end of it during Senji's little reflection period I was just saying curse words over and over trying to decipher what was going on. And the last movie...the beginning is a little strange.

it doesn't match part of it though it reminds me of whole sylvari druid situation. It looks slightly different to the style of the others in the sense of the dream of dreams that was mentioned. Or its a murky sorta fog such as the the black curtain sort of areas outside of the TOA. I wanna mention a blurred knight on a horse possible dreamrider type thing (i dont like LOTR but think ring wraith dark cloaked figure on horse)

I wasn't trying to convince anybody that I think there might be a destroyer-like figure in the picture I pointed out...I was merely asking if anybody else "saw" it too.

I don't see the things other people have pointed out...but I find them interesting.

Good to know that someone who watched EVA is in the team. One of my absolute favorite shows.
Already smirk whenever I see another anime reference from ex., John Stumme.
*Hopes there'll be tons in GW2*

So how far are the Asurans with making an Evangelion? ;)

should be finished in about 250 years if all goes well. However isn't it scarey how we will all have future knowledge of what is going to happen yet we cannot stop all this!

Ok, got a second browser up, and can see a larger version of the green concept art. It's definably a swamp-like area, which means either the area of the Sylvari Tree, the Black Curtain, or just north of Lion's Arch for what we know now. Question is, is there more than a simple swamp? Only thing I can think of, would be if there is a Sylvari there.

I was thinking a Vision from the sylvari of the black curtain or similar area. The thought of seeing more sylvari concept art gets me more excited, almost forgot about this race.

. . . . . I mean the little red box that you get with an "image not shown thing". When I try to click on the thumbnail, the page loads, but not the image. You should read more carefully. :P
