I decided that the assasin that I was colouring looked too disproportionate, and the armour didn't look right. I tried to draw one on the computer and failed.
This is the result of my anger. A chibi angry assasin. ^_^;

Maybe I will do a Chibi style next too... since they are just so much more fun to draw....

I'm probably going to try to draw a real version of that armour type. (Hopefully it won't go out of proportion like the last one did. )
)
Halev
Here's the un-chibified version. (Different hair and slightly different boots)
Teufel Eldritch
What about some type of bodysuit?

Ok. Here's my contribution. You need to keep in mind that this is just a quick sketch gone over in ink. This only took about 4 or 5 hours total to do this which is not very long compared to my other works.

AWSOME! Yeah.. I was thinking that Assassin should get the Japanese Samurai Mask type as head gear. Very nicely done!

While all the concepts I've seen here are good, or at least amusing, I'm just wondering why everyone is sticking more or less with the oriental look. We do all know that assassins were originally arabic, right? While I'm not trying to criticize anyone here, I just think it might be nice to have a few middle-eastern themed concepts as well to mix it up. Remember Assassin from SCII?

An assassin is literally a professional killer. We Chinese have assassins, to. The type of assassin would vary, though. For example, people usually classify me as an "assassin", and I use twin daggers + throwing knives.

Ok, here is my deadly assassin. He is using one of the new new skills:
Use Rope
This skill makes you able to climb over a wall. This skill can only be used once per mission.
Energy Cost: 5
Casting Time: 2 sec
This skill can be used to climb over the walls when you are waiting for a Tombs or GvG game to begin

History time again, I guess...
I'm not going to go into all the details but most historians who study the topic believe that the word 'Assassin' is a modern mutation of 'Hashshashin' which was a term used to describe members of a religious cult in what is modern day Syria. Some believe that the leader of this group (Hasan-i Sabbah AKA Al-Hassan) used hashish and and a nicely stocked harem to convince his followers that he could open the gateway to paradise for them, and as a result, gained a following of fanatics willing to do his every command. Now, as every religious zealot seems to like to do, this one was bent on destroying his competition as well. As a result, his followers became an army of suicide killers who typically slipped into a location to off their target with a dagger, only to be put killed by the guards soon thereafter (a death that they all seemed to aspire to have).
While there have been killers in all societies throughout history, the Hashshashin is believed to be the one who is the original Assassin. Because of their origins, the term has become one for a professional or politically motivated killer over the years.
Actionjack, as for the outfit design, I'd take a kind of Prince of Persia/Arabian Nights/Ali Baba and the Fourty Theives/Aladdin approach. Since the Hashshashins operated in what was the Persian Empire, I don't think it would be too far off and we could still keep the female skimpyness that is Guild Wars.

Wow! I just knew you chinese people was that cool. I also think about buying some new throwing knives. Do you know which brand i should go for?
maxy
lol hehe i always found the old fashioned kitchen knife was good lol haha
maxy
haha nice 1
Cyreal
Since everyone wants to see female assassins I also made one. I really think that hair style should be avaible to every class - just look at that evil look it gives!
You can click it to view a larger version [I don't know how you got all the large pictures, and i'm too tried to find out]

I'd love to see an armor similar to the Assassin armor from Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. Granted, all the characters were tiny and/or in paper doll form, but the tight fitting body suit type armor with a hood and a cloak would be brilliant. There's been an awful lot of japanese influenced assassin designs. I can't draw at all, but maybe I'll take a stab at it later on, just to see what happens.
Martian
I agree with turbo beaver (nice name BTW) Theres a mention of the Hashashin (or whatever) in Angels and Demons, the book that came from the same guy as the Da Vinci Code. It says all about how there are still a few alive today working as...guess what?...Assassins.
Apparently they liked drugs. Doubt if they will add that in to Guild Wars though.

But you must also keep in mind that Cantha is an oriental themed place. so having the new classes look oriental would be critical.
Turbo Wombat
At the time I wrote that, the information about Factions either hadn't been posted or I hadn't read it yet. Cantha could have looked like Arkansas for all I knew. Also, I have a little habbit of nitpicking details so that people can know the real information behind something and not just be content with stereotypes. From the concepts I've seen, the Assassin seems to have the off-black bodysuit and tabi that are characteristic of the stereotypical shinobi. Based on that I can assume that the in-game version will most likely follow suit.
A little assassin triva for those interested: Did you know that a very small precentage of ninjas were actually employed as assassins in feudal Japan? Since the assassins were the ones who were most likely to be killed, caught or seen due to the nature of their work, they were the most noticed by the general public. As a result, people came up with the generalization that all/most ninjas were assassins.

(but don't make too ninja looking... make it fit to the style of Guild War)

(but don't make too ninja looking... make it fit to the style of Guild War) the problem is that since assassin looks have already been shown on screenshots, we cant try to imagine how they are and make concept art( this thread was made to share everyone s assassin concept art).
but true, we can try to give concept for other armors than the one shown on the screenies

Turbo Wombat
Man, I think the one in the middle there looks awesome.
Maiyn
Wow really good pictures !!! I love the official armor pics too. Looks totally wicked. Can you guys imagine the expansion?
"Group looking for one more, anything BUT an assassin, have 7"

i really hope those aren't actually "it"
the middle one is decent, but maybe it's just the model's hair
i hate the other outfits though
