How did you find these? They do look authentic (and pretty awesome)… What’s pretty interesting is how similar Modremoth looks to the Nightmare Husks, which would confirm their connection.

Only fools and heroes charge in without a plan.

I found a website the design art of guild wars 2 not remember the name but it came out many interesting things like new maps races wallpapers etc.

I’m fascinated by this image. It shows what seems to be Mordemoth corrupting someone, who looks a lot like a Risen in another image.

My guess is this longhaired character is supposed to be a representation of dragon corruption.

That is some Nightmare court and a husk

cool pictures but i dont think jormag looks like some snake lol, having a fang as big as the one in hoelbrak would look rediculous on that snake thing and the norn intro shows a monster claimed to be jormag and he looks more like a standard dragon then that

Hmm. . .In the Destiny’s Edge book Jormag’s tooth is described as being much more normal-sized. Why the game chose to make it gigantic, I don’t know.

Might be worth mentioning this is concept art from the Gw2 devs, not fan-art or anything.

Also, Dragon of the Deep’s name is “Bubbles”.

Kekai is a great artist and this concept arts do look incredible, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on thinking this are the ones, past concept arts that had been around since way before release were never matched in game still and some of them were speculated to be Zhaitan, just saying… And the one from Zhaitan itself wasn’t revealed till release I believe.

What I think: almost all of them are minions (eg Claw of Jormag, The Shatterer), maybe with the exception of Primordus, but I still think it’s one of his greatest champions.
I could see Jormag being that one, but he would have to be way way way too large for the teeth be there.

who appears in the story may well have been norn claw Jormag, the kodan make mention to a snake Jormag ice is capable of forming giant snowstorms, it checks the statue snakelike Jormag there in some areas

It was even bigger at first… check the image here:

It’s a pile of Elonian protection magic, mixed with a little monk training,
wrapped up in some crazy ritualist hoo-ha from Cantha.

I think Primordus is off because Primordus looks more like a Dragon-Phoenix hybrid from early concept and ingame GW1. Although I personally think that picture of Kralkatorrik would suit him more, it’s off as well because on that picture he seems more “blocky” with like “boulders” as his body and lighting striking down under him, but like someone else before me posted, Kralkatorrik is huuuge, his spine can be seen in GW1 and that picture of that dragon head looking at the boat is actually Kralkatorrik. Can’t say anything about Bubbles, but i wish it’s not Bubbles because i was expecting something more Cthulhu-ish.

I was sure that Jormag was more typical dragon as seen from here. http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/File:Jormag_norn_intro_concept_art.jpg

Not some serpent thing, but i guess it makes sense now.. Also, what happend to Drakkar? The champion of Jormag frozen under Drakkar lake.

Interesting, concept for several of the legendaries in game are on there, but also 1 that didn’t make the cut apparently. Judging from the clouds and lightning, it looks like it would have been Meteorlogicus. I don’t know if I like it better or worse than the current design.

That’s common to anything where concept art is used (movies, games, series, animation, etc). That’s the whole idea behind it, so that you can see what works and what doesn’t before actually modelling in game and potentially losing work.
And personally I prefer the meteorlogicus we have now… that one looks a bit plain for be a legendary IMHO, though for all we know they might have been planning a lot of special FX around it..

Guild Wars Dragons circa 2007, the first designs I did for the potential Elder Dragons in GW2. Designs were unused which is common.

Nothing to see here. Moving on.

are very similar to the Forgotten
http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/Forgotten

But I would not be surprised if Jormag is even a serpent style dragon, mainly Jormag may be based on snake Jörmungandr
