Guild Wars 2

Wow, big departure from ol’ kormak! I really enjoyed the read.

Brilliant! A beautiful ending. I really enjoyed meeting your characters and joining in their adventure. While sad that the tale has reached its end, I look forward to seeing what you create next. Thanks again for sharing!

Rata Pten = Anet Trap.

What if the settlement that was Pten, was from a separate branch of asura? It seems like the asura descendents from GW1 like the city surname ‘Sum’ as they have had at least 2 cities that share that. Perhaps the ‘Pten’ asura did interract with Orr and other races, perhaps they were just studying those races.

Here are a couple of links to some things I’ve done. If they interest you, let me know.

Lol, one of my personal favs.

Well, this is the official forum. There are more than a few threads with people posting for commission work. I haven’t seen a single post from Anet stating they have issue with it. Alternately, you could PM some of those individuals and ask if they have received any notice from Anet complaining about it.

Another quickie as I just don’t seem to have the time I used to.

“…a discovery today by scholars from the Priory, show that a typographical error related to the dragon of the deep, finally reveals the true threat. Not the Deep Sea Dragon, its the Deep Sea Quaggan!!!
“After a close encounter, and a narrow escape, a local Lion’s Arch fisherman reported the harrowing ordeal.”
Fisherman:“…it was horrible!! It just kept chasing me around saying ‘come! Let quaggan coo-rrupt you!!’”
Below is an artist rendering if this terrifying new threat.

Omg, I lol’d so hard at that last line.

Check out the thread about that on guru. I believe that this is what you are looking for.

A couple random things I started and never finished. Just thought I’d share.

Well, I offered that up as a thought in my first post. But before I become confusing, let me just say that my main thought is that, it is possibly a creation of one of the gods for a purpose not necessarily related to dragons.
I pitched out Dhuum as an idea pretty much for the reasons stated above by Narcemus.

The idea of it being used against him in my 2nd post , was because whether or nor he liked resurrection, he still held sway over the dead. I’m under the impression that Grenth battled him in the UW, and such an artifact would have to have some type of an effect on Dhuum’s power. Going with this thought, it sounds like a thing Lyssa may have also had a hand in, as it sounds a lot like a type of denial magic involved. It also seems that she held at least some interest in water magic, since she eventually claimed dominion over it.

I just find it an interesting subject for discussion. Maybe we’ll get to learn the truth someday.

I apologize for my scattered thoughts.

Actually, my thought was dealing less with dragons and more about dealing with Dhuum way back when. Like, perhaps, the orb was created as a possible way of shutting down some of Dhuum’s power so Grenth could have a prayer of defeating him. Then, after said confrontation, or maybe when Orr sank the orb was found by the dwellers in the deep. The benefit of repelling Zhaitan’s minions could have been coincidental. The gods seem to have used a similar ploy when sending the PC off to kill Abbadon.
All this said, its all still just wild speculation on my part. I just think its an interesting idea, and its nice to NOT think of every single thing in game as needing to be related to an elder dragon.

Best chapter yet. I knew puppy wasn’t gone for good, but it still almost got me all misty at work! Outstanding.

I’m more onboard with the idea of it being a relic of Abbadon, Dhuum or a combination of the 2.
Dhuum, mostly because of his stance on undead and resurrection.
Abbadon, due to the fact it was found in the sea and forgotten. Could be it was something he had originally created for his followers that was then lost. Both are known troublemakers, so I don’t think its any less plausible than other ideas brought up here.

Just love Jenna….1086!! love it keep ’em comin!

Today’s subject: “the sexy mesmer”

Today’s pic: “A View to a Killer”

Another quickie…

“Today Trahearne gave his all to support his troops during the long bitter cold siege of Jormag’s lands”

Yeah, my guardian just finished a “leap of faith” into his face! Lol

Hi all! It’s been a while, been really busy, but had enough time for a quickie. Couldn’t really find any good references, so kinda went with my own imaging. As per a VERY old request, here is MY version if a risen. Enjoy, and thanks for looking!

Posting before I read this time because I know it’ll be great! Also, nice to see a new picture!
edit excellent!
edit 2 I know this isn’t as nice as stuff posted by the real artists around here, but just mywway of saying, thanks! Looking forward to next week!!

Another quickie. “…just wake me up when the ‘claw’ shows.”

I’d pay you to make me one!

…and lil Caithe.

I had a lil extra time and a funny thought. Keeping the fun I’m having with my “Destiny’s Babies” stuff, I bring you my Caithe, as well as, lil Caithe. Enjoy, and thanks for looking!!

I hope you sing for a living, always a treat to see one of your posts.

Continuing the “Destiny’s Babies” thing, here’s lil Rytlock. Enjoy!

Today’s subject: lil Logan

Here’s a quickie for you….

A norn walks into a bar in Rata Sum…

WOW 25!! To mark my lil milestone, today’s piece will showcase one of my favorite in-game pastimes, as well as, one of my favorite locations for it. May I present “Speeding through Spekk’s”
Updated the pic, added background.

If they aren’t born tatted up, they probably get them from the Tyrian tooth fairy!

A little something different today. Mini Eir, cartoonified. Let me know what you think.

Look forward to it each week, it’ll be sad to get to the end…

Of course! Just wish I could’ve spent more time on it.

Newest post is up. Still playing with formatting. Hoping this is better then the last one, though I definitely didn’t have time to go over them in ink. Thanks for looking!!

Those are great ideas! I’m working on 1 currently, but I’ll definitely get 1 of these on the list! Thanks for the suggestions!

Thanks for the feedback! I wasn’t really sure what to do with them honestly. I had the sketches done days ago. I finally just put them on my tablet and tried to just paste them together. I’ll try your suggestion for the next one. Also, don’t be scared to put up an anecdote of your own!

Ok, first attempt is up! Still want to play around with formatting, just wanted to get an example up. Feedback is VERY encouraged. Thanks for looking.

Are you sure that’s not Quagg-M-Bison? Lol. Very well done!

I figure it can go a couple different ways, either it can be pm’d to me or posted here. Once I select/work up/finish them, I can place them in the post they reference.
Also, any other artists with similar thoughts or ideas, please feel free to put up your own stuff too! It’s a fun for all!

I guess I’m thinking of a cross between my “gear check” piece and the caption contest. Maybe a lil paragraph about something that happened to you in game, or an observation. Perhaps some oddity that struck you as funny. I’m just looking to supplement those anecdotes with an illustration.

Reserved for pictures

Hope you plan to release a collected version!

Hi everyone, thought I’d try something a little different. Whether or not it continues it not is up to you, the community, to decide with your comments! Tell good ’ol Forgehammer about your funny or entertaining exploits, and watch as he brings your story to life.
I will try to knock out as many as I can, time allowing. Please nothing that could be objectionable to the mods. Thanks for looking, and looking forward to your “Tales from the Anvil!”

“Greetings fellow travelers of Tryia, the Mists and beyond! Edus Forgehammer here, legendary armor fixer-upper, and collector and teller of tales!”
“Gather around the anvil, as I relate the humorous tales of fortune and fails.”

Pic1: Edus Forgehammer
Pic2: “overkill”
Pic3: “Extreme Makeover”
Pic4: “Trahearne gives his all”
Pic5: “the Deep Sea Quaggan”

Well after I get done these couple commissions I’m working on, I’ll see what I can do about going back and polishing it up some, there was still a lot I wanted to do. Still, glad you like it. :-D

well, here you go, I hope that you at least get a kick out of it. Color isn’t my biggest strength. I wanted to include more for you, but I wound up running real short on time. Thanks again for all your support and encouragement!!

Been a really busy week both in and out of work so, sadly, I haven’t been as productive with my posts as I’d like. Nothin special today, just a couple unfinished pieces. The first was to be “on the trail of the jack-o-lope” and the 2nd, “lazy days in EB”.

It’s in the works good sir, expect it by the end of the week!

I guess she’s broke…probably blew her wad on quaggan-free cosmetics from the bltc.

Today’s piece: “Screw this, I’m going home!”
