When touring through some fansites I fell on this link

Showing concept art of Guildwars, some of whose I had already seen some totaly new to me what I would like to know though is what the last image in Tinfoil's launching post is representing as it doesn't remind me of Factions or Prophecies in any way.

Additionaly when looking at Doughbot's monsters in hist first post (which are fantastic by the way) I can't helped but be interpelled by some which seem to have an african team to it

- top right the elephant looking one
- first and third from the bottom which seem to have characters in djellabahs on the picture

Anyway all of the art in there is worth the look :grin:

Anyone notice that the Messanger Ventura concept has a scythe? Maybe he is from Elona.

Not all of it...

Although most of the art is Factions related, there is some Prophecies, and some unknown, which could be attributed to Nightfall

Such as that cool floating fortress, and all those strange creatures on the first page... and those mechanical walker thinggies. I definatly dont remember them in Factions :)

That's because they aren't in Factions. The original description of the Luxons had them walking across the Jade Sea in giant robots (for lack of a better word) which was later changed to the Turtles and such we see today.

You're right. The picture is called GW_Bard (Woodwind Instru)and there's another picture of a chick with a guitar-thing (Basoon?). Chp4, Chp5 class?

Worth a look... spearman? (http://conceptart.org/forums/showpost.php?p=967675&postcount=180) (Last two pictures)

Many of them still look oriental, I think they are ideas that didn't make it to the game.

Actually that Luxon walker "robot" thing is in the game, guarding the entrance to Leviathan Pits. It doesn't walk, but stretches itself upward in the mission.
