Guild Wars 2

So, after exploring some of the past concept art by GW2 Designer Kekai Kotaki, I sumbled across some of his art on his Facebook…

Correct me if I am wrong, but this looks very Canthan too me (Perhaps even the Dominion of Winds), and in the background of one of the images you can see the Airships we know from GW2 (Image 3).

oh wow these look so nice. i hope there will be a map like this

If I remember right, Kekai has sadly left the GW2 team.

Don’t quote me on that, but I do remember reading it on both the GW1 wiki and the GW2 wiki.

No, you’re correct. He did leave GW2 for something/where else (about a year ago iirc).

“Jungle Dragon” was also mentioned by Colin like a year ago.

They really are beautiful and makes u feel peaceful. Great artist is great no doubt. As for when something like this will be in the game i have no clue. Keep in mind all of them have the same hero/girl in them. If they will be all used it’s a sign there will be a big story related to just those 2.

uuhmmm………………………………………………
I don’t wanna poop on the parade here.
But aren’t these the loading screens for the Chinese version of the game ?????

Sorry for bursting the bubble

To confirm, during the end of personal story credits Kekai now shows up among the list of “former employees” which follows the scroll of all the active employees’ names/departments.

I think that Kekai does freelance work for Arenanet still. After he left, he produced the designs for Ascended Armour.

Sadly (at least for Guild Wars 2 players), those illustrations are from a personal project of master Kotaki.

Yo can find more in his tumblr
