Khazrandir.2350 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Hi all! A friend of mine often chuckles at the item "Portrait of Logan Thackeray" for guild hall decorations. He loves that it's actually a thing you can buy! For his birthday, I would like to send him a *real life* framed portrait of Logan Thackeray. I think it would be silly and fun! I would like to take the in-game portrait (or the art it is based on) and blow it up to at least 8x10inch size. I am trying to find the most high-resolution version of this art possible. Does anyone know how to find this, or have tips on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samnang.1879 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 only managed to find this... not really a portrait... https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/e/ea/Logan_01_concept_art.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kharmin.7683 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Well, it is GW2 art and as such is owned by Anet. Now, whether or not this request would fall under any "fair use" or not is not for me to determine. I wasn't saying that it would infringe on any copyright, only that one should be aware of the potential for doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HnRkLnXqZ.1870 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 Finally a worthy challenge. I have to admit that this was one insane treasure hunt. Took me almost 2 hours, but I learned a lot about concept art and how to find images. I found the original image! How? I was studying tons of wallpapers and concept art over the past two hours until I noticed a pattern. The pictures where the Logan from the portrait was shown, were always drawn in the same style. I assumed the picture is from the early development of the game, so probably the creator of the image was a GW1 artist. So I went to the Guildwars Wiki and picked the Concept art by artist. I scanned through every page until I found a style similar to the pictures I was looking for and it was Kekai Kotaki. So I went to his website and tried a lucky guess, Guildwars 2 concept art. And guess what? The image google cannot find was right in his gallery. Sadly this is the highest resolution I can find. Maybe the artist has a larger version. You can try to ask him. Your cause seems reasonable to me. Was fun. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khazrandir.2350 Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Wow thanks so much for your help and the info. This is great! I will ask the artist now.
