So the final version of the cover (by @efnyea.bsky.social 💗) seems to finally be up and about, and out in the wild. The book isn’t out until May 5th, but it’s currently available for preorder, if you’re interested. 😗 More information here. houseofanansi.com/products/mon...

Lil goal/study I wanna do in between larger pieces: Drawing frontal references for all my GW2 characters (and some of my friends) And I have about 36 characters... 🤣

Pictured here: Enya, Ace, Vizz,

Totte, my Evoker.

Totte lost the lower part of her body and her right hand, during an accident. With the help of her krewe she designed her own prosthetics powered by lightning.

Totte is hardworking, stoic and tolerates no nonsense. She sees her prostethics as the crown-jewel of her research.

Love me some geometric Asura architecture.
Visually one of my favorite fractals, though gameplay-wise I think Thaumanova is my fav. What's yours?

Working on several art pieces. Hereby would like to mention that I wont be posting any VoE (arts) till tuesday due to spoilers.
Afterwards I will start sharing them, though, still with spoiler tags. ☺️

Though I have to say, I'm absolutely loving the expansion so far. Some of the best maps ever!

Even though she's still with us (and I hope for many more years) Saartje will keep on living in GW2, both as one of my Asura and now a feisty lil Black Warclaw. She can be found near the Leopard Lodge in Hoelbrak.

Thank you again for the opportunity 💚

3 days until the launch of VoE! I'm def planning to give Enya an Antiquary build. Though, Deadeye will still be her main spec.

Ft. here with her lil friend Kiki'tiq. A young Skritt who has lost her family and who is trying to find them with Enya's help.

Morning study/experiment. Was thinking of doing the GW1 version first but I quite liked working with the more sinister tone of the GW2 version.

Out of all the Outer Wilds places, I think this is the one that made the most impact on me when I first stumbled upon it...
