Description The long overdue second portrait in the guild wars 2 fanart series~ 
This time, the super fabulous Norn Guardian. In part a tribute to my big brother who has a lvl 80 female Norn Guardian. He kinda pushed me to make this haha. 
Was fun working on this one ^^ I found out painting faces is my go-to thing lately when trying to chill out. 

The Mesmer: fav.me/d6sr3be

I promise I will one day make a portrait that is NOT from the front angle D; gaah!

Something I said about this piece in a facebook comment: 
Guardians have always had a bit of an Angelic feeling about them for me. I wanted to portray that underneath their gritty Armor and battlewear/stance etc.. Is in fact a protector of life, an angel giving their life for you. D; so deep LOL. I thought it would be the only proper tribute ^^

Oh, this is bloody fantastic! It makes me wish I'd made my norn a guardian instead of a necro.

I will definitely do more of them! I intend to do a series of all GW 2 classes combined with all the races in the game. 
So far I've done a Human Mesmer and a Norn Guardian. I'll have to do portraits of quite a few more races and classes ^^

I love it. Very beautiful drawing with great attention to details. Nice colour choice as well, it really suits the concept. You did a great job with shadow and light. Also about previous comment about a nose - to me it seems normal, nothing extravagant. Great job, my compliments to your skill.

Love that face, the eyes are so intense And how the helmet vanishes! Great Artwork. The only thing that bothers me is the distance between her nose and her lips - imo it should be shorter.

I like that you do faces from the front.  A lot of people do painting's from the best "side".  Your paintings are open and relatable.  And beautiful!

Myrmirada In reply to Rowancat11 [2014-09-14 23:08:48 +0000 UTC]

I find that front on looks tend to be more intense. IF you get the expression in the eyes done properly.. you can convey so much with a portrait. It becomes mesmerizing... 
Besides that it's a fun challenge trying to think up things around the faces to create a new image every time, despite it being a front on portrait haha  
I've also made it my ultimate challenge to learn to paint eyes that capture life.. it's really difficult..  I still got a lot to learn with faces so i'll probably keep on making dem portraits for now
