I believe our CP's (as I call them ;) ) *are* independent artists, although @"Stephanie Bourguet.4781" would know more about the program. I do know there's information on the website about the Partner Program [here](https://www.guildwars2.com/en/news/introducing-the-arenanet-partner-program/ "here"). I hope that information is helpful. Whoever they are, the new Icons are awesome! Good Job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynspottery.6529 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 I really like the new avatars. I wish the one I have chosen could be used in-game for my ranger. Getting tired of the old face/looks for Sylvari, I would love to chose the one I'm using here on the forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheQuickFox.3826 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Nice choices, but I still hope to finally be able to upload my own image or set my character portrait as an image. With the select-avatar-system you continue to have the limitation that avatars are not unique to an user. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curunen.8729 Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I looove this skritt art - I can't believe there'd be something to tear me away from the Mirage icon, but this skritt art is too cute! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noa.7490 Posted March 4, 2018 Share Posted March 4, 2018 It's very nice of you to offer more choice but why can't we just upload an image of one of own characters instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past, the official answer was 'for security reasons'. (I'm sure the Search feature could find the thread, if you are interested.) Good luck.

Noa.7490 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 We can upload pictures from outside servers such as Imgur, and it's secure, so we could certainly do the same thing with custom avatars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inculpatus cedo.9234 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Again, you can read the discourse in the original Avatar thread. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

altermaven.7385 Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I find it incredible that community artists are being represented for their work on the new avatars. We should be thanking them, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArenaNet Staff Stéphanie Bourguet.5287 Posted March 7, 2018 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted March 7, 2018 > @"Chasind.3128" said: > And it not be a following based thing? What do you mean? > @"MoobsiusM.6483" said: > This might be a silly question but is there a way to join the Creative Partners program as an independent? Or do you have to be part of a larger community? Creative Partners come from very different backgrounds and have different experiences. They don't need to be part of a larger community to join. If you're interested in joining, don't hesitate to apply through the link Gaile shared earlier in this thread (fair warning though: There is a bit of waiting due to the volume of applications received. We get hundreds of requests and while we only respond when the answer is positive, we review them all). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Haired Savage.5430 Posted March 7, 2018 Share Posted March 7, 2018 Is it me or are only 2 of the 3 mentors represented? I see Sieran next to Faren, I see Tybalt's apple, but no Forgal... :disappointed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
