Hehe true, LucasArts gets hand tied by concept art sometimes. The concept art picture for the Force Unleashed of a guy pulling a Star Destroyer to the ground with the Force was so popular that they just HAD to make a level about it in the game, even though it was actually one of the least fun parts of the whole game. No way they could cut it after so many people on forums were going "OMG that's AWESOME."

First Screen looks like a Juggernaut and Sylvari...
And this Knight is very nice...

Pics that Kekai and other Anet artteam members show in the ImagineFX magazine (#44, June 2009): There's a very nice Char on page 41, a Water Djinn/Margonite with four arms on page 44, the 2 IntoThePixel winners plus other nice pics (one looking like a City of Ascalon? one from Utopia IIRC, a very nice lady with an eagle, a futuristic city?) on page 52-53, a centaur on page 63.

(I can't find them on the Net and won't scan them for risk of infringing Copyrights)

Also these pictures which are also on deviantart

EDIT: nice finds pumpkin!

Those pics on deviantart.com are completely awesome.

Well, I was an Art Major in college, but my artwork pales in comparison to the AMAZING artists we have up here. I don't want to embarrass myself by putting my crummy little artwork next to these incredible pieces.

Finally! Ascalon is gonna have a "peaceful" them instead of that "orange/war/boring" theme

Not so much "peaceful" as "ruins of humanity overgrown by forest", from the looks of it.

Pretty sure it got cancelled QUITE early, before they could get very far. That or it got really far and that explains the lacking in eotn. Either way its a moot point now. However this is what I would picture a chronomancer as though. And its among eotn artwork, so don't jump to any conclusions.

However, if you want to drum up some GW2 speculation, I would say that this is a class concept for GW2, seeing as how it was only put up last week and is labeled as Thief Queen. Strangely the attire on it matches a mesmer more than a thief class.

Could just as easily be an NPC though Shoyon.

Ah too bad, but it's never too late. Steal an Intuos4 from one member of the artteam and you'll see your fingers fly!

Art is not about being the best (which Anet's artteam seems to be doing just fine

) but about creating emotional bonds and sharing audio-visual experiences and thoughts. Please share Linsey!

I've got the feeling I may have already seen this piece a while ago, but I can't seem to find where.

I'm guessing this one is GW2 artwork judging by the dragon. Ether way its pretty damn awesome.

Nodakim · Jun 06, 2009, 11:39 AM // 11:39

Anyway I am betting my money that GW2 will come out on the year of the Dragon.

2012

screenshots dont say much aswell, if they would show some now, some could complain about the graphics that they arent good enough, while they improve the graphics over time. graphics is like that last thing you want to be done. screenshots could also look very amazing, while ingame its more like ''uhh.....''. just wanted to point that out :>
