Happy Lunar New Year, everyone! Though it's not quite a snake per se, the Great Jungle Wurm sends its regards from over in Caledon Forest! It feels like it's been forever since we've been to a sylvari area, so how about we go pay it a visit, and then hang out with the Soundless over on the Weeping Isle? That's right: the first Saturday of a new month fast approaches, which mean it's time for another art party hosted by my guild, [VS] Verdant Shield!

A concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV, art parties are in-game get-togethers for artists of all kinds to hang out, chat, and create together! For GW2 parties there’s more of an emphasis on hanging out and gathering references during the party itself, and then in the days/weeks following to work on your creations at your own pace and then post to the shared art party tag. We’ve used the same one (#VSArtParty) since the very beginning so you can go allll the way back and explore what people have made! The most important thing to keep in mind though is this: the ‘goal’ of an art party isn’t to be drawn, but to draw others, and share with the community!

Time and /squadjoin information is below the cut, but will also be posted again on the day of the party as squads go up!

Location Information:

The Weeping Isle is a nice and accessible open area, with lots of room for water activities too if anyone wants to bust out a skiff or two! Just head Southwest from Mabon Waypoint and you're there - no funny business needed! It may be in your best interest to turn down your NPC dialogue volume if you stay on land though...

Time & Squad Details:

As is customary, we’ll be having two parties - the first one on EU servers and the second on NA - with an hour break in between for those who may want to attend both!

The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Time (aka 3pm Eastern Standard Time or 4 hours before in-game reset). I’ll be hosting this one on my EU alt account, so please either /whisper or /squadjoin Aemryn of Noon for a taxi invite if you don’t end up on the right map!

The NA server party will begin 1 hour after the EU party’s official end, at 7pm Eastern Standard Time (aka 1am Central European Time or at in-game reset). I’ll be on my main account for this one and may switch ‘host’ characters a few times, but please /whisper or /squadjoin Brasyck for a taxi invite if you don’t see my customary white cat tag hanging around on your map!

Closing Words:

I do feel like I'm always apologizing for being late on these posts, but here I am doing it again: sorry for the delay! Expect me to reblog this a few times before the end of the week just to compensate for my weird posting time since this is also...uhhh.....1am for me as I post this? Whoops. Anyway!

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the anniversary party last month, it was so much fun! Even with my procrastination I still hope to keep these monthly parties happening for as long as people are interested - after all, you guys are what make them special! Take care of yourselves, and I'll see you all this Saturday! ♥

Started feeling sick while working on these, so have some sketches of some toons I saw about at Art Party. Didn't get any usernames so I hope these find their people.

Thank you for the template, I loved these and decided to take a stab at one myself ^_^

Don't just grab some random little Jade Bot out of the air, you little punk! It might belong to someone.

Sxorr belongs to @rosewoodroad Hye-Jin Min belongs to me. The Jade Bot belongs to her.

I saw this and had to draw an answer.

The gw2 wiki has ruined me, never will i ever play another game again where information is presented in such an organized and especially complete way

I keep wanting to talk about Mozze more, but I keep not being happy with what I write. I want her to be one of those characters that seems to be your friend. Personable, nice, even sweet to those around her. However on the inside she's a ruthless calculating predator. She didn't get to be director of golem munitions by being nice, and all of her rivals for the position didn't disappear without some help.

I figure she started life in the Asura colleges, Statistics, which she chose because the logo was pink, no lie. Ended up in the Inquest after being scouted. Early on she had an 'accident', crushing her right arm and blinding her right eye. No doubt the work of a rival. She overcame that, gaining a multitool of a right arm prosthetic and an eyepatch in the process, and killing that rival that was responsible herself.

I tried writing a lot of this in character, but out of character is flowing a bit better today.

Anyways, she's an expert marksman, a big advocate for golems having solid munitions instead of energy munitions, and generally a joy to be around. Just, you know, maybe don't let your guard down. She's also loyal to the Inquest, to a point. The moment she'd have to choose between her own ambition and the Inquests goals, she'd chose herself every time.

I find myself listening to Blackpink a lot while I work on her, for, well, reasons of her favorite colors lmao. As many of her mounts as I can make them are the asura robot ones, made to look inquest-y, but with pink instead of red as the energy color.

oh dream white stag, we’re really in it now

Brand new character time! #55! Director Mozze, Inquest director! She loves cute things, her favorite color is pink, she's a major gun nut, and her right side was damaged in an explosion leading to some golem inspired upgrades.

playing gw2 is like. did you know many of the main characters have introductory short stories you can read online from ten years ago. did you know they make cute episode trailers for youtube and one of them is a mission impossible parody and one of them is the most heartwrenching scene acting in a video game, but it's. it's on youtube.

did you know there's short stories on their website about caithe finding herself after heartbreak, and zafirah coming to terms with misguided faith, and rytlock finally understanding his inferiority complex and the crutch he's used to overcome it at the expense of people he should've been there for. no it's not in the game it's on their website

there are official interviews with most of their voice actors discussing how they approach the character and the emotion they put into it and how they've developed over a decade

there's an alt goth version of the main sylvari theme that literally everyone swears by and it's really goddamn great but someone has to tell you where it is

don't even get me started on abaddon, one of the most important characters in their world, who isn't in the game and is barely mentioned

hello guild wars 2 players. i want to play a game.

in front of you is a meta event where there's a less than ideal amount of players to complete it.

if, during the meta event, you complain about other player's DPS (damage per strike), anyone that might be AFK, or claim the meta is going to fail in the map chat: PVP against you and only you will be enabled. i will personally drop from the sky as a Power Reaper (extremely buff necromancer) and beat the shit out of you.

why? it's simple: if you are complaining in map chat about any of the above, YOU AREN'T DOING ANY DPS. YOU ARE THE PROBLEM. HIT THE GODDAMN ENEMY.

you have fifteen minutes until the meta ends. the clock is ticking...
