Guild Wars 2

So was randomly searching through Guild Wars 2 art and this picture came up in the search, upon clicking the link to the site, it’s a site featuring some of Daniel Dociu’s concept art, some of which ended up being loading screens for zones that are now in the game. One of them featured in the gallery is a city built on top of giant gears and well, maybe this is the world of the steam creatures? I don’t know for sure but sure is fun to think about the possibilities

Here’s a link to the site: http://unrealitymag.com/index.php/2010/11/23/a-gallery-of-awesome-guild-wars-2-art-from-daniel-dociu/

I’ve seen them before. I’d say it’s more likely that it’s early concept art for the black citadel or some other charr city.
If they ever make a steam world it would be great if this concept is used, but don’t get your hopes up. Anet hasn’t given us much about the steam creatures in the last living story event and it looks to me like they want to steer us away from the steam world idea….

That’s actually artwork for Guild Wars 1’s unfinished campaign called Utopia.

Indeed, it’s from Utopia, a piece titled The Hub of Time which signified its relation to the chronomancers – though that doesn’t mean it couldn’t have been reused in concept. Another of Dociu’s pieces, Kite, was re-used as concept art for the Zephyr Sanctum; and going further back, his piece titled Screamers that was for Prophecies’ Ring of Fire environment, was re-used for The Screaming Spans in Nightfall.

We do have clockowrks everywhere now…someone in ANet do love cogs and such :P
