Guild Wars 2

I have a project to do 2 visuals, but I’m kind of lost. if anyone have a hint…

A character inspired in Denton Van Zant (preferably Heavy Armor).

And another in Mithaniel Marr from “Champions: Return to Arms”.

Preference with Heavy Armor. But if it is not possible, it is ok with medium.

thanks!!

Hey there,
just a quick thought which might give you some inspiration. I don’t know that Mithaniel Marr character and found different pictures on the internet, but he appears to have some kind of ‘knight style’, probably with more simplistic armor than gw has to offer
The first picture includes the pants of the primeeval armor set, if you don’t have that one you maybe wanna try the pants on second picture. It’s all heavy armor.
Head: Council Guard Helm (from Caudecus dungeon)
Shoulders: Splint Pauldrons (TP)
Chest: Carapace Breastplate (Silverwastes)
Hands: Splint Gauntlets (TP)
Legs: Primeval Legplates (Gemstore armor set) or Ascalonion Protector Legguards (human cultural armor)
Boots: Protector’s Footgear (human cultural armor)

I hope it helps you somehow

Have fun,
Ani

Few days ago I gave up another attempt on an Akuma cosplay. Some things just don’t work in gw2 – yet. The youtube video of the first one, shows a lot of action but hardly any good perspective of the full body.

As you want a character with tattoos on his arms, norn would be the race of choice. There are a few tattoos which work on the arms and those can be dyed. The beard could be a bit difficult, as the make-over kits do not offer custom beards. So i would go for a bald head, and probably the last beard in the list. Haircolor blond ofcourse.

The armor really looks like leather and not like heavy. But I’ve got a few ideas:
a.) Heritage Set
but only using the chest [&CicDAAA=], the pants [&Ch0DAAA=] and the shoes [&CiEDAAA=]. Sadly it is a Hall of Monuments armor, so I assume you cannot access that skin :S.
b.) Melitia Scale Combo
using Melitia Breatplate [&Cl0DAAA=], Heavy Plate Legguards [&CmEDAAA=] and Scale Boots [&CuMAAAA=]. This version looks much like chainmail, but if you use dark/black dyes on the chain parts, it may look good as well. Tattoos are partially visible and it looks a bit like a military coat.
c.) Rampart Set
using Rampart Chest [&CgkFAAA=], Leggins [&CvoEAAA=] and boots [&CggFAAA=]. This combo covers your arms completely, which means no tattoos. But you can dye the arm parts seperately and make them look like skin. Then the chest would look like a no-arm piece. Sadly this is a Gemstore skin :S.

Medium armor is mostly a no-go for one tiny little reason: TRENCHCOATS !!!! We literally do not have any armor pice which ends at the belt.

I have to admit, after ~ 1 hour I finally found the perfect skin, but I doubt you will like the idea. It uses Leystone Vestments [&CiEZAAA=], Ascalonian Performer Pants [&CmYCAAA=] and Aurora Shoes [&CsADAAA=]. Yup, it is a light armor. As you want to go for a character which (according to the video) looks like a rambo-replica this could be really difficult. You could go for a mesmer, with an offhand pistol and a sword in one configuration. The pistol would at least come up with the post-apocalyptic theme. You can also go for an elementalist, there are tank/berzerker builds out there which support every possible playstyle.

Note: I did a few look-a-like characters myself. Normally when I see I do not find the proper skins, I just scrap the idea and wait for another inspiration. What Ani above wrote about that heavy armor guy looks pretty amazing. If you really only have those two options, go for that and scrap the blonde-rambo ^^.

@Ani u made it!!! i cant believe, thank u. its perfect. unfortunately is very hard to find a close picture of his GreatSword , but, by what i can remeber the Ascalon GS will fit perfect.

@HnRkLnXqZ

Yes, i agree is probably, i better discard the “post apocalyptic rambo”.

You mentioned LeyStone armor, and thinking here, I reminded that it with leather parts in black sounds like “jungle rambo with some ley magic infused”. i will go in that way. thank u.
