Description More GW-related work. Just toying around with a scene involving one of the Elder Dragons from GW2. The setting is at the Xaquang Skyway, high above the roofs and slums of Kaineng City.

probly it will lead us after gw2 to chanta cause i heard the last story dungon zaithan relatetn with punshing his dragon ass so we may could open the see way to come to Kunavang and ask him for help like glint trid alredy against kalkatorik(who is probly alredy in elona and beaing the shit out palaw) and probly similary to come of us to chanta some the elder of their continent may awake

Thanks. Hopefully I get to re-design the Cantha dragon since this was one feels pretty generic.

AhHAA! I KNEW I recognized that assortment of rooftops! And that odd architecture... I LOVED that area, it was so fasinating wandering around the streets of Kaineng City, especially with all that mist...it made you feel very small and awestruck.

Brilliant job at making it so recognizable. Even the guard looked familiar to me. X) Fantastic!

Not a clue. There's been trailers, gameplay videos and devjournals and as far as I know, no discussion of story.

Changinghand In reply to Truesdale [2010-07-23 03:35:07 +0000 UTC]

I definitely think they're set for concept artists with the likes of Kotaki, both Docius, and Anderson in their ranks.

And I'm excited about GW2 as well.

I can't believe you just said that. That drawing is on par, if not better than the concept art used for Guild Wars! Don't doubt yourself. You should be on that team.

How many weeks did it take to complete? Amazing! Hope you don't mind, I had to download it to study it closer and learn some of the techniques. You really must give us a tutorial.

Changinghand In reply to incognisance [2010-07-23 03:32:43 +0000 UTC]

I think this took 3-4 days, on and off. I treated this one a lot faster than I usually do with other works.

incognisance In reply to Changinghand [2010-07-23 07:41:39 +0000 UTC]

Just 3 or 4 days?!! Wow, you're truly gifted. I just checked out the others on your page. I'm new to the tablet art thing, I'm more into 3-d modelling and animation. But I've always loved to draw on paper. Seeing your stuff and all the other stuff on this site just makes me feel left out!

I'm definitely going to come up with something soon 'cos there's so much talent going around here it's hard not to get inspired.

Thanks for the enlightenment. I hope the rest of us newbies can catch up!

Changinghand In reply to incognisance [2010-07-23 18:33:23 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I'm still a new-comer to digital art and still learning. Up until this past January, I've always worked with traditional mediums. Personally, I'm glad I finally gave the tablet a try because I love it. Far less-expensive, its a breeze to store work, and much easier to work with than traditional materials.

Just try not to think of it as something entirely different from working with pencils/paint/etc. That's what usually scares a lot of people away from digital work. Approach it the same way you do other works and it'll be much easier to slip into.

incognisance In reply to Changinghand [2010-07-24 02:50:15 +0000 UTC]

Thanks for the advice. I've worked with computer graphics for some years now, so I know how great it is to be able to try out different ideas without making a mess or wasting precious art materials. But, up until last year, I'd never used a tablet, just mice. But I was just doing 3-d and photographs so it was adequate.

My non-digital art was restricted to pencil and ink drawings and I always thought I'd leave the serious business to the pros, since I don't have any formal art education. But I think I owe it to myself to find out if I could achieve some of the stuff I see people do. And The best way to learn is to learn from the best! And that's why I'm here. Thanks.
