Art of Gold

This was originally posted on the guild's forums, but after some rather positive feedback and suggestions to post this on Guru... here I am.

So I present to you "Throwing Our Money At GW2" - by Auron and Natanya



Location: North Kryta Province
Time: 4 hours
Gold Used: 2.8k exactly

The title came to me from reading many posts on several different forums about people trying to throw their money at their monitors to get GW2, this was our way of doing just that.

Here's a couple of different angles of the finished logo...

that's absolutely incredible. i can see this really taking off before gw2 :-p i gotta try to make mario gogo!

very, very nice job

I made an epic Swastika shape out of a stack of Essence of Celerities; it was glorious.

A lot harder than gold because it drops in a random pattern. No consistency is QQ.

Some Screenshots of the different stages while we were making it.

Wow! Thank you for sharing this. This was really amazing to look at. You might consider tweeting this to the guildwars twitter. This is the type of thing they would retweet.

Wow, you really had a lot of time on your hands. Very nice.

Really amazing, very nice art. You must be super-patient person.

Very cool indeed!!

Next best thing: do that same with Globs of Ectoplasm now...

Nice D:

5 STRIP COMIC MADE OUT OF GOLD !

Should have taken photos with CamUnlocker!

How have I never seen anything like this done before (and how come I never thought to do it?)? That is amazing. I agree you should definitely tweet it to @GuildWars and/or @GuildWars2. They'd retweet in a heartbeat.

I've already said it on the forums but I'll say it again, awesome!

Thanks for all the kind words

Well due to the popularity of people looking at this image I've had to find a new place to host them, and so now they are viewable again (big thanks to Karuna for making it possible)

Awesome, truly awesome. The best I've done with my gold is drop it in a trail in a dungeon or on someone's corpse. I would love to see more stuff like this, this is very cool. I tip my hat to you.

Edit: Took the second to tweet this to the Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2 twitter accounts and they posted it to their pinterest board. Very awesome, and well deserved, I love what you did here.

This is so very very awesome. I am truly happy of the ESP Ally for the great and fun things they do.

I commented on this elsewhere but this is just awesome work.
