zMADCAT.7831 Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 In real life I'm a Landscape & Wildlife Photographer in Western Australia so I can't help but take screenshots ALL THE TIME. Lets face it, Tyria is a beautiful world with just about every kind of environment you can think of, no to mention the flora & fauna <3 So next time you see a guy at a boss fight or event and they look like their just standing there afk it might be me with my interface turned off looking for that perfect shot :o Here are a few of the images I've created from my screenshots, please feel free to comment or critique, hoping to get a lot more Tyrian Art created in the near future. FYI these images are all pretty old so the locations / subjects may not all look the same in "modern" Tyria ...       Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArenaNet Staff Gaile Gray.6029 Posted January 28, 2019 ArenaNet Staff Share Posted January 28, 2019 These are perhaps the most amazing screenshots I've ever seen. True works of art -- I'm so glad you shared them with us! If February's CSL is about Friend/Ships, I think I'll need to feature one of these on a future show, but I am looking forward to doing that.

Aaralyna.3104 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 These don't look like screenshots but they look like pieces of art instead. I like them :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you so much @"Gaile Gray.6029" :) You guys have created an amazing world with so many great photo opportunities and it's a lot of fun using real world photography processing tools & techniques on in games screenshots. I have also played around with creating 360 degree interactive panoramas of various locations around Tyria, you can see some of them here: https://madaboutgw2.com/interactive-gallery/.

Sciger.1679 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 These look absolutely fabulous. I do like taking the time to just stop and admire Tyria's beauty every now and again. With the ever occasional screenshot, of course. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciger.1679 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 It really is. Usually I'm rushing, trying to get something done like level yet another of one of my new toons (hopeless altaholic here) or get some new wardrobe piece unlocked for fashion wars. Though sometimes when I'm mapping and chilling, I just gotta stop and take in the world again. ;3; I don't do it often enough. Got a fav place to screenshot in Tyria? I personally admire Ascalon the most. @.@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find so many hidden places you come across just look awesome :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProtoGunner.4953 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 I like it, but you should go to new areas as the low polygon count on old maps don't help. New areas are so much better (HoT, PoF). Still nice job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnClar.1304 Posted January 29, 2019 Share Posted January 29, 2019 Not only excellent Guild Leader, but amazing artist as well! Never knew you were a photographer. Very very nice work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
