A few Guild Wars 2 forum avatars I painted for ArenaNet a while back and haven't formally posted anywhere before today. I miss when we did these types of projects.

Top row is from 2022, bottom is from 2019. They're a mix of a few personal fave NPC's or skins from the game. :)

"Fear Not This Night" on Fingerstyle Guitar Fingerstyle guitar cover arranged & played by Landylachs. Original track composed by Jeremy Soule for Guild Wars 2 by ArenaNet.

Something a bit more casual for this year's Wintersday.

As a not "musically-inclined individual," I had a lot of fun arranging & playing this!

Regrown Caladbolg (Final + Initial Sketch)

Tier 2 "Watercolor-style" Painting

I loved painting this one! It's filled with features and themes I love drawing. I was given a fantastically written description for this piece, and this was the first idea that came to my mind.

The bottom sketch was the chosen thumbnail by the commander's owner, which secretly thrilled me because I was hoping they'd chose this one!

Thank you so much again for trusting me with your idea!

Corveil Painting Practice

I've been exploring different pen grips and stylus pressures recently - and painted Corveil for one of the practice paintings! It's been a while since I've posted one of my original chars here, even though I've been drawing them a fair bit elsewhere.

Ironically, I think switching my pen grip is forcing me to practice better drawing technique. At least, the mark-making here is more aligned with what I have attempted in the past (maybe it only makes a difference to me, though, haha).

Lazlo | Suikoden IV Painting

I was on the Eiyuden Chronicle discord the other day, when somehow (probably my fault) the convo turned to reminiscing about Suikoden IV.

This lead me to wanting to listen to the Rune of Punishment theme (gorgeous song), which lead me to feeling all the feels - and the sudden urge to paint Lazlo. I think this might be the first time I've ever painted him.

I have a soft spot for Suikoden 4 - Junko Kawano's designs from 1 and 4 were a major influence when I started drawing more. What a treat to see her new art in not one, but TWO new games next year! I can hardly wait!

If you've likewise been living under a rock, as I have, "Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes" is an upcoming 2024 jrpg game created by the same developers as the original Genso Suikoden series! With their newly-formed Rabbit & Bear studio, Eiyuden Chronicle is arguably the spiritual successor to the original Suikoden series. It even has 100+ new character designs by Kawano herself! And if that was not enough, Konami is also making separate HD remasters of the original Suikoden 1 & 2 - with Kawano drawing brand-new art for all the Suikoden 1 character portraits! (Also set to release in 2024.) I only learned about all of this last week. I am very excited (and in slight disbelief by so much Suikoden news, after over a decade of Konami abandoning the series!).

Guild Wars 2 | Tier 3 Speedpainting Commissions

A few recently finished Tier 3 speedpainting commissions. Thanks again to all!

I recorded the painting process for a couple of these, and am excited to show them to you once I edit the footage! Either here or on YouTube.

If you have a character you'd like to see painted in the above style (either from GW2, your OC, or from another of your favorite series), feel free to reach out through DM, email, or Artistree! (Rates also listed on Artistree.)

I have some upcoming time in October, and can complete a few during the next month. Guaranteed completion time in October if we confirm your idea before the end of this month! (September)

Hope I can play more of the expansion soon!

Preview: Guild Wars 2 Sylvari Mesmer Painting | Krita Time Lapse

Preview of a Tier 3 GW2 painting I recently finished! I thought it'd be fun to make another quick clip of the process.

Are these fun to watch here, or would you personally enjoy only seeing full time lapses / longer process clips from me on your dash?

🌱Website: LizLiu.com 🌱 Instagram 🌱 YouTube

🌱Links: LizLiu.com/links

Description + Video & Music info in the full post!

This one is still one of the first recordings I started experimenting with, and I unfortunately didn't record some parts in the beginning and middle of the painting. As I become more used to the workflow, I'm becoming better about remembering to hit the record button before starting to paint.

What I like about editing these preview clips is the rendering time is quite fast - when I do a full timelapse video, they take my laptop about 10 - 15 minutes to render each time.

I usually notice something I want to change at least once after rendering. This time adds up! But with these short clips, it makes it so that I can do one for fun without it taking up too much time away from doing more painting!

Anyway, I hope these are as fun to watch as they are for me to edit!
