Guild Wars 2 Forum - Community Creations

A note here: If this listing is inaccurate as far as spelling or presentation — for instance, perhaps your name is all one word, or is written in all lower-case, that sort of thing — please PM me so I can fix it. Also, if we happened to mispronounce your name on the show, don’t hesitate to PM me so that we will know how best to say the name if it should arise in a future show.

Thanks again so much to all the people who contribute to our community through their art!

Today’s show was the first we’ve pre-recorded. We wanted to try this out because pre-recording allows Lizzie and me to be in Twitch chat with the viewers, talking about the art and having fun with our players. Let us know what you think about the format. While we’re not presenting the content in real-time, we really enjoyed the live-ness of the interaction!

Next Show: Wednesday, May 18 — Noon Pacific time.

Thank you to everyone who shares their creations here on the forums or on our Tumblr page.

I wanted to add that I really like being able to record the episodes for two reasons:

We can include more dev guests, like Cameron Rich (this month) and Peter Fries (who guested on the January episode).
I can hang out with you in Twitch chat, which is a ton of fun!

Next Show: Wednesday, June 22 — Noon Pacific time.

Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to the show, as well as those who joined us during its presentation. Special thanks to our guest Steve Hwang, who is a long-time coworker and friend.

Please remember that we can go “back in time” to select art for a show, so never hesitate to share things, even if they are “off season.” For instance, some of the art for next year’s Halloween show will be chosen from this year’s shared art. If you share here, great! Sharing on the forums means you have given us have permission to feature the art. If you’re sharing on Tumblr, please always use the hashtag #GW2 Fan Submission to ensure we can showcase your art!

Major shout out to all the talented artists who contributed to the show, as well as those who joined us during its presentation. It was super fun to chat with you! Special thanks to our guest Matt Tate, another long-time coworker and friend.

As always, please keep in mind that we select art from any period in time on the forums or Tumblr, not just recent weeks. For the Wintersday show, I found some great art from 2014 and maybe even earlier! So never hesitate to share things, even if they are “off season.”

For instance, some of the art for next year’s Halloween show will be chosen from this year’s shared art; many of the Wintersday pieces that are submitted this December will be used next year, especially since the holidays prompt us to select art very early in the month.

If you share here, great! Sharing on the forums means you have given us permission to feature the art. If you’re sharing on Tumblr, please always use the hashtag “#GW2 Fan Submission” to ensure we can showcase your art!
