Fyndir Flamebringer, The Honorary Skritt

Fyndir Flamebringer, the Honorary Skritt

I have this little personal story about him, that he left the obscure, all-metal, boring Black Citadel to research the skritt culture for the Durmand Priory. He fell deeply in love with those tiny, squeky creatures, that he decided to live with a friendly clan somewhere in the green plains of Kryta. And they loved him so much, that they treated him like a normal skritt. When the time came and Fyndir is now needed back in Ascalon, he is followed by Ratchakk - a little skritt kit he promised to show the world. 

quick doodle for my friends :)

Finished this!

It may be only a colored sketch, but I’m super proud of it (I haven’t felt that IN MONTHS).

A little, still unfinished gift for the pal, who introduced me to GW2. It’s his charr ranger, Maya Loneclaw, a fierce lady I must say :3

Legionnaire Brokenfang is ready for some action!

Changed her entire wardrobe. Again. Sigh. She just couldn’t decide what to wear! xD

Okay, a little background story. Hadjarah is one of the warriors of the Ash Legion. She is a big, bulky lady, who protects her warband when things go wrong during espionage missions. A great influence on her had her sire - one of the most loyal soldiers the Legions ever had. She wishes she could be just like him. Her heart, mind and body belongs to her warband and the Ash Legion. All other things do not matter. Even the dragons.

As for the personality - she’s kind of a counterpart to my responsible, workaholic, lonely charr commander Fyndir. Of course she takes her service seriously, but c’mon, everybody needs to have time for an ale! Or two. Or six, eventually. And a meat on a stick. She has a dark sense of humor, is friends with nearly the enitre Black Citadel and has a few best buddies she would give her life for. Oh, and she gets angry very easily if you provoke her. No wonder she chose to be a Berserker.

Fashion part - used a Warband+Dreadnought and Bladed+Mistward combination lately, now I decided that as a spy she would wear something that allows her to move more freely. Right now it’s Scallywag Chest, Dreadnought Tassets and Warband Boots. Head, shoulder and hand armor is hidden. Weapons - Royal Ascalonian Greatsword and Royal Ascalonian Longbow.

A small rant

Destroy the idea that digital art isn’t art, or is somehow lesser than traditional mediums. 

You are a painter of light.

You delicately move data and photons into images of hope, horror, love, pain. 

Your hard earned skills are not lesser because your work cannot be touched by physical hands. 

Your ideas, which you painstakingly execute with those skills and all that experience, touch the minds and hearts of the thousands who may come across it. 

Their impact is not lesser for having been absent a physical body during their creation.

Get your hands dirty with traditional media or delve into the possibilities of digital media.  Do both!  But don’t let anyone convince you that your work is lesser because of the medium.  I think we as an art community should be long past that archaic idea.
