Age: 25
more info about her: The love for necromancy goes deeper with her then some other necros. To her it is not a profession, it is her way of life. She lives and breathes necromancy and is constantly trying to perfect her minions and her spells.

She is a little on the crazy and dark side but also has her kind moments, especially to those who she considers friends.

Beautiful work! The detail and lighting is amazing.

I hope you pick my elementalist for your next painting. She is very majestic and mysteriously beautiful. Her name is My Angel Wings. Here she is!


Her Story:
As a little girl Angel grew up on a local fishing boat with her father. Always exposed to the waves of the sea, she grew to love the smell of salt water. The gentle rocking of the boat could always realx her no matter how she felt. Even in an early age it was apparent she had a special love for the power of water and sea. In the winter she loved to watch the waters turn to ice, the rain turn to snow, and the air became brisk and cold. It was her favorite time of year.

Angel Wings got her name during a lazy afternoon as she and her father were walking the shores. He said she should have been born with angel wings so she could fly away from this place to find a better life. Her father said that a fisherman's life is no life for his daughter. No matter how much she tried to convince her father she was happy, he still wanted her to go out into the world and become something more. A year later her father was murdered by a one of Varesh's men during a raid when Angel was just 10. She barely escaped by jumping into her father's boat and drifted off into the seas. She took harbor at the ports of Lion's Arch until she turned 16 when she set out into the world to fulfill her father's last wish of living a different life.

Using the memory of her father to drive her ambitions, Angel became a powerful elementalist. She mastered fire in the volcanoes of Abaddon and she wielded the wind in the deserts of Elona. She learned how to conquer the power of Earth through her travels with the dwarfs. However none of these elements captured her heart as much as the flowing power of Water. It has been said that her true self always emerges when she calls upon the power of Water and Ice, for that is where her home is.

I hope you pick my ele! ^.^

For an art trade, are you looking to do just guild wars characters, or would you be interested in doing an original character instead? -just curious, so I know which refs to round up- :3

Stunning work, EmJey. You have incredible talent with backgrounds, and your commish for Morag D shows skill with dynamic poses that I can only dream of.

*scrambles to try and find enough screenies and such to make a decent writeup for commish applications*

Alrighty, the sheer awesomeness of your art has inspired me to throw my hat into the ring. I've been silently shopping for a quality commission for a little while, and have kind of a tough proposition for you if you choose to accept it. So, here goes:

Most of my gameplay revolves around the three Lightmare sisters, each with their own ideals and ambitions.

The eldest, Sedona, is an idealist. First to rise to the challenge of defending her homeland and kinsmen from the evil that threatens them, she has never backed down from a call to duty, to a challenge of self-sacrifice to the greater good. When new threats arose in her sisters' chosen homelands, she was compelled to protect her own flesh and blood from these adversaries, whether they wanted/needed it or not. Trained from a child in the art of face-to-face combat, she is a master of any martial weapon she lays a hand on. She likes to face her foes up close and personal.



The middle child, Iva, has always thought of herself before others. A fashion nut, she only wants, and feels she only deserves, the best. When her family home of Ascalon was destroyed, she was off sampling the wonders and riches of Vabbi, and has no remorse for the loss of her parents, who she feels were outdated and tried to stifle her dreams. She uses her charms to get her way, and if she is refused, her tantrums can be devastating to all those around her. A master of all things ethereal and elemental, she can call upon a variety of magics to suit her needs. An eternal flirt, without any interest in any single commitment, she uses those who can help her attain what she wants, and throws them away later like a used sock.



The youngest, Lina, has always had a mean streak. As all youngest children are, they feel they need to work extra hard to measure up. Eternally jealous of her eldest sister's fame, she left Tyria the first chance she saw, and sought training from the world's foremost masters of hand to hand combat at Shing Jea Monastery. She strives daily to break free from Sedona's shadow and make a name for herself. She has no use for frivolities...her only worldly possessions are her collection of combat arms, a set of daggers for every purpose, because she feels that swords aren't personal enough and shields are for weaklings. Any rewards she obtains in her pursuit of self-improvement that do not directly assist her in battle she gives willingly to her sister Iva, who she feels she has a rather close bond with despite their personality differences. She can be found challenging Norn to 1 on 1 battles in the far shiverpeaks, or working to impress her Diety of choice, Grenth, by ridding his realm of those that would circumvent his authority.



If you choose to use all three or just your favorite of them, that's fine either way. But I really would like to see something with all three in some kind of interaction. I'll let you use your imagination for this.

I have/can get more images of all three if required.

so sorry for not getting online any day of this week (as I said I would, lol), life's been crazy around here and then the internet broke down >.<

anyway, if you need ingame reference, just tell me when you'd like to meet up, so we can arrange something I've added you to my FL so I can pounce at you when I see you online

all the best
