Haven't seen this anywhere so I am posting it mostly to remind myself of when pride is

Aaaa! Shynni looks so happy!

I've been trying since November to catch up on art party drawings, and as you can see, I've had characters piling up since August. 😳 But I got thiiiia many finished yesterday, so may as well start posting. Got about halfway through what I plan to do. 😊

I don't know everyone's tags and I don't want to go digging so I'm tagging who I know for sure...

It's Shynni! She's so cute the way you drew her!

[NA] March 2025 Artparty

I'm still getting crushed by comms, but I never miss the art party

Characters: Akish Hart, Buulma, Resurrector Shynni, Haidos Ghostsinger, Robin Avery, Trudth, Vaslet, Fairlady Zee

Oh dang, two awesome characters from one person! They both look fabulous!

Finally made it to an art party again! I just did some real rough portraits in my sketchbook this time. Something to get the ol' art muscles loosened up.

I can't find who Narrassi and Nemye belong to (let me know, so I can tag properly!), but Shrutti belongs to @commander-amicia-soulpaw!

My friend Kirby tabled at Anime Washington over the weekend, and asked me if I was interested in an autograph from any of the guests. When I saw Steve Staley on the guest list, I rushed to print some art of Malcefrous to get signed

I printed my own art, and a piece I commissioned from @spindlewit last year.

I really wish I could have talked Staley myself. He told Kirby that he doesn't get visited by many GW2 fans at events.

Super stoked to have these signatures, though! And I'm really grateful I had art as gorgeous as Spindlewit's on hand to use for this 💜 Definitely need to get these framed and hung up on my wall!

I made a little comic about Nix that has been sitting in the back of my mind for a while. It's a conversation taking place a bit after he escaped the Mists, between himself and his dead friend Monndri, who he channels as a revenant.

Putting it under a break because it's a teeny bit heavy on subject matter (suicidal ideation).

Nix has no actual desire to end his life. Something about heights just gets him feeling a certain way. He's been around way too long and been through way too much and sometimes he just wonders... What if?

Seconded! Really hoping that feature is added eventually.

I'm also more than a little salty that my ranger is forever stuck on the raptor. I could drag someone else into the homestead to take her place, but someone is always going to be perpetually raptor-bound. I can't even get a full lineup of all my characters being boring and standing around.

I will say, I really wish we had the ability to have our alts emote or do anything than just stand there. Having our alts there is neat and fun! But part of the reason people wanted it was for screenshot purposes, and having them just be able to follow or stand there without any other commands is just kind of dull.

Especially since one of the Homestead previews showed the alts dancing in sync with the dev, implying that we can get them to emote somehow.

Don't mind me appearing out of the void to dump an anxious Plippit on your dashboard, only to vanish again.

I LOVE seeing gw2 toons that I know from tumblr blogs out in the wild. Nothing is funnier than freaking out being like OMG THERE THEY ARE ! The guy who is FAMOUS to me and 30 other people!!!

[smugsharkrat]

Got some good shots of @smugsharkrat's Plippit with his sword and shield!

After putting Malcefrous in the corner, I realized that it would probably be possible to make a pretty sweet haunted house setup in a homestead. Lead people through a specific path, with other players and alts along the way doing jumpscares or just looking spooky. Maybe someone playing creepy music on one of the in-game instruments just out of view...

I'm sure other folks would have more creative ideas than me, but I just love the thought of something like that. People using their homesteads for unique experiences to share with other players

Was goofing around in the homestead with @commander-amicia-soulpaw yesterday and realized I could do this...

Teeny bed for a teeny boy!

The Kodan chairs also allow him to perch on Amicia's head.

And then I decided to make Malcefrous Blair Witch in a corner

He's fine.

This is just to sate my curiosity more than anything
