Managed to get Guild Wars 2 to run in VR last night, because I was fascinated by the fact that Stoic Alder is like ~3.2 meters tall. Image is taken from a 1.7~ meter eye-height. Charr and Kodan are HUGE in person, they are like walls when you stand in front of them.
An image of a Kodan in Guild Wars 2, the character Stoic Alder. The camera perspective is at pelvis height, looking up at the anthropomorphic brown bear. It wears armor made of leather and bone, with clear turquoise markings.

Also, I swear I'm still an artist, and I have ̶t̶o̶o̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶y̶ plenty of things in the pipeline. Just struggling with motivation to draw, and also got a bit occupied on a small gig to do a guest seminar on game design 😊

I mean fuck my life cause I’m a game designer trying to find a job right now, but I found it kinda hilarious that I did a group interview for a receptionist job at a gym as the only man present with scarcely any service job experience to back it up 😆 Well was interesting at least!

Tried to match the energy of the recent Kodan concept art
Digital image of a Kodan from Guild Wars 3, a large bear-like species from the upcoming game. It looks directly at the viewer. It wears a green shirt with a thick rope-like collar around the neck where gold jewels hold claws and feathers. It has a brown belt slung around the shoulder with a small pouch on it. The bear has a small amount of braided hair at the top of its head, what resembles a mustache, and a braided goatee.

I really, really like drawing TF sketches on my Remarkable Considering doing a commission format for it, just doodling TFs while on a walk, in a park, on a ride, in my bed; it's freeing

Kodan concept revealed in new blog post! 🐻 Key points: - They'll add more species post-launch! (I'm firmly locked in to the bearkin though 😆) - Common background for all species as members of Vaelwarden guild - No unique stats/abilities per species www.guildwars3.com/en/news/our-...

Suddenly transformation while checking out a second-hand shop
Plastic figure of a woman climbing on all fours beneath some decaying wood and across rocks, partially inside the body of a grey wolf. She’s hunched over, her left arm is transformed as it is within the wolf’s left foreleg. The other side of the figurine shows nothing of the woman, and just the gray wolf.

Transformation scenario: in space, only your crew mates can be affected by the mutating virus that is turning you all into bears, and they are all headed toward patient zero (you) (uneven, zero-gravity bear TF with multiple people, and yes I've dreamt this a few times over the last year)

Being jobless for so long in a town where I know very few enough to hang out properly is taking its toll on me, I badly need a win soon so I can move on with my life But for now, sitting in a park in beautiful weather is uplifting 🐻
Photo of a Remarkable with a cropped sketch of a bear transformation. It depicts the upper body of man mostly transformed into a bear. The face is unchanged, and he has a large moustache. He looks at the viewer intensely.

These are select arts from GW3, GW2, and from the release trailer. I think there's an overlap of GW3 and Janthir Wilds, as we can see stand-in models in GW2 arts that feel more akin to the GW3 design. Notably the polar variety seems to be confirmed for GW3.

The new Kodan is surprisingly rotund from what little we can see of them, so did a short study of how they'd perhaps look without the armor They should be more square/stocky, but couldn't resist falling back into the familiar pear-shape
Simple sketch of an anthropomorphic bear, one from side view and the other in 3/4:th view. The left one is very barrel chested, whereas the right one is more pear-shaped. The right one lifts up one hand paw, while the other rests grasps its belly.

Since I’m in my Kodan fanaticism phase, I’ve drafted 25 character names that follow the naming convention, scoured Lowland Shore for ambient dialogue (there’s one that appears once every two hours!), and found that concept art for JW always had the GW3-like model of Kodan as stand-ins for scale 🙃

I'll post three songs that hit me real hard as a human being. Starting with Majora's Mask (released 2000), this track came out *12 years* after I played it as a kid, and is such an incredibly powerful love letter to that experience.

My very first and definitely not last Kodan fan-art from Guild Wars 3!
A digital sketch depicting a Kodan from the game Guild Wars climbing high up on a cliff side, with one paw in the upper left gripping the rock, and one foot hidden behind the cliff. It has its body twisted around so it can look at the view. There’s specks of leaves and floating seeds in the air, and there’s wind picking up from behind and mussing up its fur.

This new helmet in Guild Wars 2 was MADE for me! It's absolutely GORGEOUS, amazing work. I'm also *very* excited for ArenaNet's mysterious reveal during Summer Games Fest, notably because the Kodan is heavily heavily implied to be around in Orr due to hints in Janthir Wilds. Choo-choo! 🚂

The screenshot is taken in Lowland Share of the expansion Janthir Wilds where we can see some Lowland Kodan patrolling a bridge in the background.A screenshot from the game Guild Wars 2 depicting a Charr wearing a highly detailed bear helmet that changes the face into a bear.

One of them hairy dragon sketches drawn in a bumpy camper van, with some heavy undertones of bear #Transfur #TFTuesday #TFEveryday
Digital sketch of a hairy big-bellied man very unevenly transforming into a furry dragon. His neck, head, and right arm, is completely disproportional to his undressed hairy "bear"-like body. The dragon form has large curved horns, the fur is very wild and grows thick on the dragon form, whereas his body is simply human-level hairy. His left arm touches his belly. The dragon's face is still unchanged, showing the eyes and brow of the man still.

Photo of a ReMarkable 2 against an interior camping window where in the landscape we can see a typical red Swedish house against cloudy skies and a rainbow in the sky. The ReMarkable has a sketch of a mid transformation of a man gaining a large furry beard around a big dragon muzzle. It has curved horns. His eyes and forehead is still unchanged.

Some old unpublished art for Donkey Day #TFEveryday #Transfur
Graphite sketch of a man transforming into a donkey. The man's eyes and forehead is unchanged, and the rest of his body is in varying stages of transformation into a large donkey. His right hand is fully transformed into a large hoof, and his clothes are tattered. He appears to be braying.Full image of the transformation. His tail is struggling to break free from a few strands of cloth still holding it back. His hind legs are fully transformed, belly and neck is fully transformed.

Discovered a surprisingly neat thing about using File Objects in Clip Paint. When saving the File Object, you have a slight delay before it updates on the master document. So I look at the other monitor to see if the aggregate brushstrokes made it better or not. A bit like flipping the canvas.

Artist tip: Clip Paint doesn't support grayscale value out of the box, but I found two ways: 1. github.com/ubisoft/Chroma is an app that sits on top, works for any program 2. Install this color profile and configure in "View > Color Profile", then toggle with Ctrl+Y: drive.google.com/file/d/1Lv8c...

It highlights the option "Microsoft ICM", which needs to be selected before the "Profile for preview" dropdown will show the newly installed color profile (long name).

Also, as a slow-burn goal, I think I'm gonna do a raffle again at 500 followers. Last time I did it was in 2021. Might constrain the species a bit this time though to better fit my 'clientele' so to speak x) We'll see if it happens!

Infuriating to see how language is adapting to the censorship that platforms have over people. The censorship shouldn’t be on big companies, and it’s futile to think that people won’t just make up new ways to say the thing with a different word anyhow. Fucking dystopian.
