Guild Wars 2 Commission Process: Bou & Dali

Posted on September 13, 2022Leave a comment

Process post for a recent Guild Wars 2 commission completed over the summer! This piece features Bou & Dali’s GW2 norn characters.

I began by sending Bou & Dali several sketch compositions, based upon their initial description & character references sent to me

Sketch variations/revisions after receiving client feedback.

I cleaned-up the sketch a bit more, before sending it to the client for approval before beginning the “painting” stage of the commission process.

Here’s an in-progress image from during the painting process.

Thanks again to Bou & Dali for commissioning me!

GW2 5 Community Chest Codes (Sep 2022)

I’m trying something new with a (hopefully) different type of giveaway than I’ve hosted in the past!

With this type, there are a variety of actions you can take to submit an entry. It is also now possible to submit multiple entries. I’m hoping this might be more interesting for you compared to standard follow/share giveaways!

When does the giveaway start/end?

This Guild Wars 2 Community Chest giveaway is live now (started on Thursday, September 8th), and runs for most of the month.
It ends Tuesday, September 27th at 11:59 pm (PST) (midnight of that day).

General Guidelines

Winners will be contacted via email or Twitter DM (depending on which method(s) they enter). Winners must be able to receive emails/direct messages and reply within 24 hours of being contacted. Failure to do so allows a new winner(s) to be randomly selected. Bot-run giveaway accounts do not qualify.

Good luck!

Guild Wars 2 Art Compilation

Similar to the Trahearne & Malyck compilation post, I thought it might be fun to compile a post to house the Guild Wars 2 artwork I’ve made over the years. Like the previous post, this will be kept updated. Hopefully this might become a little archive that’s easy to browse.
