Happy Spring, everyone! Though where you are may not be warming up just yet (I know it isn't for me), the end is in sight! And speaking of things happening soon - this Saturday is the first one of a new month, which means it's time for another art party hosted by my guild, Verdant Shield [VS]!

For those not familiar, art parties are a concept carried over from Final Fantasy XIV: 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:

It was incredibly funny to me when doing up the promo image that Judgment Rock just...has no POI attached to it at all. It simply is a tiny little region in the Southeast corner of Mount Maelstrom with its own waypoint (aptly named Judgment Waypoint) and literally nothing else. Good news for us though - that means it's a perfect place to set up shop for a party and not be disturbed!

Time & Squad Details:

As always, there'll be two parties - the first one on EU servers and the second on NA ones - with an hour break in between!

The EU server party will begin at 9pm Central European Summer Time (aka 3pm Eastern Daylight Time or 5 hours before in-game reset). I'm actually unsure of my work schedule for this weekend, so EU partygoers will have to stand by and I'll update this post (and subsequent reblogs) with who may be hosting for the first half of the party!

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

Closing Words:

The dreaded concept of time and its perception led to me procrastinating on this post, only to realize that both regions have already switched their clocks by now and there was nothing to worry about, so sorry for the delay! Thank you for putting up with my short notices, I'd say it won't happen again but who knows what strange thing will come up next month. :P

Thank you again to everyone who comes out to these, I look forward to them every month even if I don't talk very much, and as long as people are interested will continue to be your designated cat herder! I'll see you all this weekend, take care! ♥

Had this pose in my folders for a whole month and I finally finished it.

I drew this, then forgot, then remembered last night. I feel 'meh' about it but I'll post it anyway LMAO for those that might enjoy Trahearne. I'll try to see if I can have a better version of him later at some point... no promises LOL

Drizzlewood coast is a cold and miserable place but Jhavji is practically a walking hot water bottle for Ember. Neither lady really minds this arrangement, tho.

I decided to fix up some lighting and stuff

As a member of the royal guard you usually don't have much time to rest. In Namir's case even less as a member of the queen's honor Guard. That's why he uses every single chance to enjoy the beauty of the kingdom he swore to protect.

A really stunning commission from @saltamor-blog

Big shoutout to @ilona-art for letting me turn one of her lovely drawings into Papercraft ♥ Her Art is so nicely shaped, I had to give it a try and recreate it with papers. Really had a blast working on it - Thank you again for the permission! ;V;
