Guild Wars 2

Hi all,

First of all, i didn’t know where to put this topic… this subforum was the one, I thought, suited it better. If I’m wrong, please feel free to remove it or change it to where it belongs.

In Spain we have a pretty famous carnaval around February in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, where girls and designers create amazing costumes to compete as the best costume of the year.
I wanted to share with you the winner of this year, 2015, so it can serve to our equally amazing devs as inspiration. I believe the costume has enough parts and details that our content designers (or whoever wants to give a try ) can get inspired.
And I know our devs are capable of creating really great work in the art and content department.

So who knows?, maybe in a few months/years we have something in game inspired by it, I will love it ^^

Well, the costume in cuestion was called “Áurea”, in spanish, what would translate as “Golden” in english, thought in an “ethereal” way (tbh, i dont think the name fits the costume, to me it is more blackish than golden, but whatever XD), and here a few pictures about it (on attachements).
If you want to check it in movement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnADl2QBpAg from 1:21:32 to 1:25:32

I hope do you like it and it had enough details so it can serves Anet as inspiration for future armor/weapon sets or outfits.

If you, artistic player community, feel like you want to play with it to create your own interpretation, i would be glad to see your creationts too.
I would if i knew how XD, im a really bad drawer.

that poor girl is smothered in 40 kilos of feathers.

that poor girl is smothered in 40 kilos of feathers.

Lol, so true.
But actually….the costume had a weight of 240 kilos!! XD.
Only the head piece was 5 kilos O_o. The girl ended with a little pain in her neck XD.
Obviously they use wheels in the costume so the girls can carry those monsters.

But it is great work imo.
I would love to see any gw2 piece inspired by it.

It would be a cool piece.

Still that costume is what you get when you have float designers work on a costume.

“Wait you mean to tell me that a girl is gonna wear it and not a Buick? But we already spent half the budget on it.” “Put the girl in it anyway”

hello again,

I would want to resurrect this post because the same way there is a new year, there is a new Santa Cruz de tenerife’s carnaval and therefore, a new costume winner for 2016.
And again, the costume is over the top and full of detail, any part of it can serve as inspiration for the devs, for some armor, weapons or who knows what (actually i think this year was the other way around, cause i see on the costume a few “ascension backpacks”… dont you think? XD)

In any case, 2016’s costume winner is called “Arena Blanca del Desierto” (which means “Desert’s White Sand” and the theme for the carnaval this year was “The 80’s”
