@Odinius & Minami: Thanks so much! That really made my morning Minami, I can't even begin to tell you how much I appreciate your kind endorsement! That really means a lot to me

I REALLY enjoyed your story Thistle!! It didn't feel too long at all, just the right length. I felt like I knew the characters and was sympathetic towards them just a few paragraphs in. Thanks, that was a lot of fun.

Not sure if this contest is following the 12pm PDT rule that the official contest is using or if the deadline is just by the end of the day but either way here is my art. I slept in a little too long today :P oops



i touched up on it a little since posting it on here a few weeks ago

WTB: A-net adding the new costumes to their prize pool.

It would seem appropriate, after all.

@ shy guy: nice job on your final poster! way to cut it close though! only 5 mins to spare?! I think that little green fellow on the bottom of your post says it best!

@ Artemis & Marsh: thanks so much, you two! I'm really glad to hear that! And, Marsh, there's no way you could have teared up as much as me D:

@ Outcast: Wow, seeing it so small makes me think your pic would make the coolest Halloween avatar!

@minami: yay I'm glad you're submitting both to the workshop! But, you'll make the judges' decisions ever harder now with how awesome both of your pieces are XD

Ugh, mid term projects and school kept me from this thread majority of last week. I'm just now getting a chance to look over the recent submissions.

@Mina: Very cool. I definitely like your new submission better than the other with the single character focus. I like the impressionist style you used here, rather than going into a direct replica of the original. Gives it a bit more character to it.

@Kiya: That's really awesome. The photo montage is a nice touch. A smart way to include all the different screenshots you took. And I daaawwww'd at Thorn and his mini.

@Silverfire: I really like the colors you've used. Everything is sort of desaturated, but seems to work well with the overall tone. I think the sky really does it for me atmosphere wise. Something about the colors really gives it an autumn countryside feel to it.

@Operative: Nice, the sharpening effect really created some nice textures. The long grass is really well done, and almost looks like it's animal fur. The group of characters and the glowing tot bag and pumpkin really stand out here. Creepy vibe and fun to look at.

@The ritualist outfit looks great. Maybe later, you should post the original pictures you were working with in full detail.

@Dutch: Very nice, I'm digging the overall crispness to it and the ominous lighting.

@Odinius: This is a really fun piece to look at.

@Penguin: Awesome watercolor work as usual

@Arghore: If only you could actually drive/pilot golems like cars. Fun idea in this one.

@Widow: Cool, I'm liking the zombie heroes. And it serves that bastard Togo right for being such a Leeroy Jenkins.

@Arvida: Another neat idea. The Shatterer is definitely an awesome addition to the GW scene.

@x01: I'm liking the vector feeling you gave this.

@Shy: Very nice. The paper textures you gave it came out great.

@Sayael: Came out looking great. The clothing on the bottom three characters looks awesome.

@Thistle: Whoo, I haven't gotten through the whole story quite yet. But it's a fun read so far. You weren't joking when you said this was a novelette.

@penguin: I can't find the thread you made a couple months ago with the WIP shots of that piece. Can you repost them? They were sick as hell.

Sorry, I missed this. Thank you . I seriously doubt I'll win anything but they were fun to paint regardless.

@Charlie, you can 'drive' them, not like a car, but if you read the book 'Ghosts of Ascalon' or check out concept art for Zojja for GW2, one can certainly 'ride' them

(bastard kept me from completing Tahnnakai yesterday on my Necro...) When I first started Guild Wars I only had Factions, Togo managed to keep me stuck in Tahnnakai for over a week. I simply couldn't kill fast enough to keep him alive and the henchmen healers weren't interested in doing something silly like healing him.

Coincidentally this was also a necro, perhaps he simply hates necro.

He keeps trying to Leroy into Vizu's mob while I'm clearing the perimeter. Sometimes I wonder if they changed his AI with Kilroy's or something

Damn Necro hate!

Damn Necro hate! I haven't been there with a necro and Togo has never Leeroy'd. With my rits, however, he likes to stay back and not help with his firepower. I lost a survivor rit for the 12th time thanks to him not finishing off a couple of lvl 8 Sickened Guards. In the beginning of Factions I'd actually be grateful if he started yelling MAAAASTEEEEEEEEEEEER TOOGOOOOO!!!!...

I can't wait for the contest results, by the way. I really can't! I can't!

Personally, I think it would be more of a:

MASTUUUUUUUUUUR TOOOOOOOOWWWWWWGOOOOOOOOUUUU

He seems like the type of guy that would pronounce his own name in a funny way.
