Guild Wars 2

As a portrait artist I love looking at faces, so I’m ecstatic when new ones are added to makeover kits! I’m sure everyone is, really. I see tons of people with exclusive faces everywhere (hint hint you know you want to…)

So I collected a few faces that I find pretty awesome that could hopefully inspire GW2’s artists.
I’ve only done female humanoid faces so far, and believe me this has been a kittenload of work. I’d be happy beyond measure if you’ll look at them and give me feedback. My emphasis is on finding interesting, uncommon faces that are strikingly beautiful.

Also, I noticed that there’s only 1 black face and 1 asian face among females! Isn’t that weird? I mean sure, they’re a minority, but not THAT much. I added plenty of those here so there’s a lot of variety.

Here are links in imgur. Sorry it can’t be just one, it didn’t work.

Welp, I’ll be crossing my fingers. Is there’s any positive feedback at all I might work on males. I betcha you’ll sell thousands of makeover kits c: Do it

I like your thought here.

I hope we get some that swing the other way too. Something a little more rough would be nice.

Huh? :o You really find them ugly? They’re all supermodels of haute couture Maybe you like more normal faces but you’ve got to admit at least some of them are great! Milagros Schmoll, Daria Werbowy, Gemma Ward, and oh my Jessica Stam! Anyway, I don’t mind but of course I would have preferred for you to explain what you think a bit more!

These are all very good suggestions!. I especially liked the last link. Of all the face types we have in game there are only a few usable ones.
More variety is always good!

But but… Sylvari

But but… Sylvari

I knooow I LOVE sylvari! I have 3 of them! But I’m not sure how to go about that. There are SO many pictures, I bet they can be adapted to sylvari though. Their faces are mostly pretty humanoid, just add a few leaves and vines and bark and twigs and flowers here and there… <3
Now, a friend of mine wanted asura faces because she didn’t like the new ones…That would be complicated. Norn, human and sylvari are no problem, I can take a bunch of pictures of the most interesting, exciting faces and ideas (even pictures of plants for the texture of the faces or every species of feline I can find) but asura? Gosh I mean I love asura (I have 2) but the closest thing I have are pictures of my pug.

Very good suggestions!

I find all them likable, there are many that I personally would like to see in the game. They don’t ALL need to be stunningly beautiful, because most GW2 characters are supposed to be fighters and not fashion models.
I think some of them are usable for Sylvari, no problem. Especially the sharper-looking faces, but that’s just what I think.
It would be interesting to see what you conjure up for the males, but I understand that it’s better to know if there’s any interest before investing your time in that. Good luck

We need more “elonian” faces, or african/ indian – Not to mention the lack of hairs that tends to go with those races- afro’s, beads & braids can be pretty

lol I was trying hard to make one of the new faces work along with one of the new hairstyles but it just ends up looking really odd still. Was planning ahead for Revenant~ also wanted to make him blue but you get this awful purple makeup tint on all the other faces when u make’em blue~ Wish there was a way to fix that.

My main’s face is still my favorite. It’s also one of the most human looking and smoothest~ need more like that I guess. Here, lemmy place blue on dat one and you can see wut I’m talking about. ;x (his actual skin color is gray which shows no makeup)

Hope HoT does some customization improvements for Sylvari faces. My Revenant needs to be unique and sexy.

Sorry. Bad wording on my part.

I meant I would like to see some more ugly faces added not just more pretty ones.

My bad.

What about male faces getting some love.

I hear you lol reminds me of when I was trying to make a red sylvari that doesn’t look like it ate neon highlighter fluid. I didn’t succeed.

I’d do my best! I was about to, to be honest, but…If this doesn’t get any attention then it would just be more wasted effort so it depends. Well I might end up doing it anyway for fun but whew face hunting is time consuming hehe! We sure do need more male faces though.
