Guild Wars 2

using real life plant color scheme or inspiration

challenge and mechanics:
attach BOTH the plant picture and your Final Sylvari inspired color scheme

(im tired of using too much dark shades)
*ill post my inspiration later after work

Easy enough:
Treviso lettuce = Sylvari Mesmer!
Edit: added a non clothed picture.

I’m a mesmer too.

Mouhappai.5406:

Awesome! you even picked the flowery face, very well done!

Thank you! I find Tier 2 male armor looks best on smaller-built Sylvari. As for Treviso lettuce, I think you did a wonderful job on the color choices, but it makes me chuckle at the thought that people make their character based on a lettuce lol.

OP is looking like a space suit, but besides the colors, I can see the resemblance to the plant.

thanks heheheh

im still looking for a plant that is present in our garden for inspiration,

the plant is called snake plant, an ornamental plant inside our house

This reminds me of the asura NPC near TP entrance in LA and the Salad joke!!!
I seriously just liked the colors and it matches my weapons. :P

sorry for the bad angle, i still need to get my pants. also, i like the view from the back, you see the most leafy blades

i think i’ll be frequenting this thread with when i get more inspiration

i like your plant, what is it called?

I love doing this! Wish we would get more cultural armor with different shaped leaves/petals to choose from some day so we can get even closer to real plants.

it’s a common houseplant called the dieffenbachia

purple iris flower ^^

This is my Necromancer Zodoco. I based his colors off the fungus Aseroe rubra; it smells like carrion and uses flies to spread its spores, perfect for a necromancer!!

Holy moly this is amazing.

i found a new plant at our local market, will post later heheheh

All of these look really good! Can you tell me what dyes you used for the middle pic (with T3 cultural light armor)?

What, no marijuana-inspired Sylvari?

I am disappoint.

White stargazer lily

Thanks! I’ve tweaked the colors a little since, but as far as I remember she was wearing Illumination for all the yellow parts, Remembrance on the chest piece, and either Maroon or Lipstick on the skirt.

pot is just one color, it’s kinda a cop-out

Great Thread. I think its kind of sad that the medium armor looks so much better on male sylvari than the light armor does…. cant find a look that fits for my mesmer -_-’

black and white lotus

drongas.4189:

black and white lotus

im a little skeptic about “black and white lotus”

does this plant color exist?

i have not yet seen a black and white lotus in my garden nor in the greenhouse near my place.

roleplay ^^

as one of the mechanics posted above, using real life plant color inspiration ^^

(because most of the players are just using expensive abyss and celestial or expensive dyes, this is an avenue to make use of the normal/uncommon dyes to be used)

This particular breed of sage was inspired by my armor color pattern. Just kidding… I actually picked the colors long before I saw the flower, but the colors do match perfectly (very dark blue, regular blue, and a bit of green in the stem) and it’s a pretty flower. :P

I’d love to see fancy male light armor t3 cultural colorations. Bring it on guys!

Wow guys youve all done a really nice job! Are any\all of you on an american server? I have an all sylvari guild for sylvari lovers only! We love the caledon forest and sylvari lore! Add then mail me: The Caledon Keeper and ill reply when i can! the guild name is ‘Order Of The Caledon’ and im looking for sylvari lovers everywere! Im also looking for in game oppinions on my current armour hope to see any of you!

Ps: im inlove with some of those armours! Great job all!

I vote this thread to be stickied seems very fun

My cleric and Knight’s set

This is Sannhain he is based off of Autumn leaves, that’s why his name is Sannhain after Samhain the Irish Halloween. Someone already took Samhain so I improvised with two n’s

My Sylvari is based off of a tree very similar to this one (I have absolutely no idea what it’s called, this is just the best picture i can find that represents how i’m doing him, his color scheme changes on the season). Sadly, i do not have my cultural (or TA) set yet, i’m still working on getting the money for it…

Shaylakai again with an unintentional theme, still working on 100% Sylvari gear.

Still have just TA armour, but is pretty enough. Hope it doesn’t matter. :x Am gonna go for T3 once I get my shiny shiny rainbow shortbow.

i should change the title, since TA is technically a leafy armor nice color anyway

I went with the bluebell for my whole character’s theme. Her name is even a combination of two genera of bluebells.
Colors might be a bit off since I’m lazy with tabbing to get the right colors, and most dyes I get go to my main. :/
