Canadian, furry, gamer, artist, photographer, and so on. Mostly lurking in furry matters these days, but spending more time distracted with gaming! Really need to get back into the art scene again, but am at least dabbling in photography on occasion.
Spending some time being a beach bum in the new zone, Shipwreck Strand, for Guild Wars 2's new expansion. I need to put together an outfit that's more comfortable as beach wear though. lol

The Extra Life event is still ongoing in Guild Wars 2!
Proceeds go toward children's charities, plus they have a new mini available this year... the Mini Guardian Angel Blish. It's for a good cause, so I went ahead and got myself one.

Okay, so the Spearmarshal's Breastplate wins out... with some touch-ups on dye choices and all, of course.
This fashion set sort of touches on how I used to have this toon look a few years ago.
Lovin' it though! It's all about the mane, after all. ;)

Or perhaps even the Mistward Plate chest piece...?
Yeah, I fuss a lot with my charr fashions. ;)

With the new hairstyle, I find that it clips with the Ebon Pauldrons I've been using in my fashion for this past while. Well, I think I was overdue for some other fashion changes, so here's a peek at the new stuff. Nothing too drastic, but I think it still looks good!

Guild Wars 2's new expansion, Visions of Eternity, has gone live... and the new hairstyles are the most critical new addition to the game. ;)
Yes, I've gone and switched to one of the new charr manes already. Love it!

The Extra Life event happens soon. It's that time of year again! Donating for kids' sake contrasts against the sinister back drop of the Mad King event. lol

Recently switched back to a firebrand build that uses the staff for it's WvW support role in Guild Wars 2.
Since I've taken a preference to less flashy designs for running in WvW, I picked up a new skin for the staff. The Thundercrag staff skin! Still looks pretty sweet...

Thunderhead Peaks is such a pretty zone if you enjoy winter-y scenes, especially if you're flying high over the chaos and destruction below... LoL
Here's Brandt flying through the zone. More a cap of him and his skyscale rather than the zone itself, but you get the idea.

Messing around with the /hiss emote in GW2, I got this rather amusing angle on it, making a good show of my toon's big teeth. Heh...
I certainly appreciate the level of detail in the expressions done in this game. These models are still pretty top notch!

My ranger alt in Guild Wars 2, with some recent changes to his fashion.
Still a fan of having the antlers on him, too. lol

Mmm... Singed meat.
New /barbecue emote available in Guild Wars 2's Black Lion chests!
Again, I'm a sucker for the game's emotes.
Mmm... Barbecue! *drools*

Oh, and for the record, my favorite driver in Mario Kart Tour is... Meowser, of course! (And a much more screen-cap-worthy character.)

On my smartphone, I still play Mario Kart Tour sometimes. They currently have an event running where you can get the Mechanic Mario driver and some of the tiny titan karts from Mario Kart World, which is the MK for Wii Switch 2, releasing... now-ish...(?)

Ever the sucker for a good /emote, I ended up getting the new /channel emote released yesterday in Guild Wars 2...
So here's a screen cap of my charr self making good use of that new /emote!
Bbzzzzrrp... pew...

New to the Black Lion chests in Guild Wars 2 is a "Regenerative Chamber Chair"... which I've acquired, as you can see here!
Not sure how relaxing this really is though. lol

#guildwars2 #gw2 #charr

The ornate grand piano, new in the Guild Wars 2 gem store, is a nice new chair that you can attempt to make music on!
When it comes to my skill with the in-game instruments, emphasis on the "attempt" part...

And another angle on the Bava Nisos landscape, where some of the destroyed buildings can be seen, expressing the devastation that was wrought upon the region.

Here's another screen cap showing some of the Bava Nisos zone, as devastated and... alien as it had become.

Getting around the newest zone in Guild Wars 2, a skyscale is highly recommended, I must say! Bava Nisos is both lovely and kinda messed up at the same time...

Cantha, one of the regions in Guild Wars 2, is particularly beautiful and well designed as zones go for in-game worlds. New Kaineng City is a very unique zone in GW2, where the large buildings represent a very dramatic yet lovely landscape.

In Guild Wars 2, the newer zones that make up the Janthir Wilds are some of my favorite places to roam. The landscape has a lot of awe-inspiring vistas throughout — even if you're not activating an actual vista node.

I often just chill out and enjoy the view in various locations in the game. There are some very lovely, well-designed zones in Guild Wars 2.
Here, I've cropped out a panoramic style screen cap in Lion's Arch, from an elevated position on top of the main bank.

The Willbender in Guild Wars 2 is a heavily armored swordsman with some interesting — perhaps mystic — abilities to compliment the blades.

Here is my guardian in his Willbender spec, once again with his plate armor fashion. Am over the jedi aesthetic at least for now. ;)

Been trying out SW:TOR again, after having had a long absence from it. I had unlocked the cathar species to play as, so... had to carry that concept back to Guild Wars 2. Heh.
Here's my charr guardian, once again done up like a jedi, complete with light sabres!
