Description
Art Director Daniel Dociu has once again traveled around the world spreading the good word of GuildWars2 and just as before he's shared an enormous amount of concept and cinematic work to go with it. This image is one of my small contributions but you can and should view the massive slideshow on ArenaNet's blog here: Click!Related content

Kyeta: I'm praying for my brother at home to change and talk more nicely to my family. That is all I pray so many times. I'm hoping for other families around the world to express themselves. We can't be stuck on our sick beds too long. All this I pray, Amen.

Oh yeah this is right on the mark. Art design like this just makes the game world so believable. You can really see the Ascalonian architecture from the original game reflected all over this illustration -- thin little arches and round small windows, rooms that hang over the streets on the tower they're build upon. Complex buildings that look like houses, offices and chapels all built together. That's how I remember Ascalon and it just really makes sense that the same architecture is implemented as Ascalonian influence spread across Kryta after the "Searing." A great and very faithful piece.
