We use it on everything now....the girl in the pic that is, the teamspeak banner, the homepage, everything. We like it

BotJ Gallery Banner Picture

We have the Axe for our capes so we had a green looking tatto put on her back. Yes she is missing some straps like the 15k top has, but it was meant to be like that

Why use flash to show an image gallery? Overly complex, UI hidden from view.

The picture was nice in that it didn't have terribly overwrought effects or other dancing bologna.
I'm curious, how much did you pay the model and did you get their likeness release for publication?

If Kago says it's good, It's gotta be good.

Get a demonstration of FoW female monk. i'd love that one.

Don't really see the connection between Guild Wars and that so I'm afraid I will have to be the only person who does not say its good. It's not bad, but I would not call it good either.

The connection is that the tattoo is their cape insignia. As said in the original post... And um, nice mascot!

The girl in said banner is based on a female warrior model. She is wearing 15k glads (without the bra-peice of the hauberk) with 15k platemail gloves, with the guild's cape insignia tatooed on her shoulderblade.

Remember, in this case the branding is focused on the guild per se, and not on the Guild Wars[tm] product. Using the elements from the game in an artistic way to create a derivitive work seems effective for establishing the role that they claimed for mascot (read: branding element).

If they were to then turn this element into a commercial effort, then there might be some copyright violations, especially if people end up mistaking this picture for an actual representation of the in-game art.
