Partially. I directed their design but didn't make the models. I'm so glad you like them!
I find with Chelsea that if you have to ask "wait did you make this" the answer is probably yes. She's a cool artist.
Hahaha! Thanks :P
I NEED IT
Thank you!
Waaaay back when the Runic Cape first came out months ago, I was in a squad farming the bears with you and made mention that after I finished Chuka and Chumpawat I'd be setting into Exordium. Then you mentioned you were the artist that designed it and the whole group talked about that for a while 😂
Honestly my favorite of the greatswords and I appreciate the work that you do!
<3
Amazing shot! Tarir really works well with them. I'm so glad to see people enjoying my items!
How long did it take to program into the game?
I don't remember exactly but it was by far the most involved legendary. I had to do so much planning that I made a spreadsheet! I needed to figure out what the player animations all did for every race, sex, and class, then determine what shapes I could make the sword turn into that would work for all of those shared animations.
I'm making this up for the sake of an example - I don't remember who does what off the top of my head: human female guardian might spin around for skill 2 clockwise while others spin around counter clockwise. This kind of thing meant that I couldn't have the sword turn into a one sided shape, or some of the races would be hitting things with the blunt side of the shape. So I needed to do a lot of planning to make sure everything would work for all 16 of the shapes.
I also had to figure out shapes that would work well for the classes that shared the animation. I didn't have the luxury of making class-unique shapes - it had to be based on the player ...
They are fast but also noticeable. I made this legendary on a whim and I don't regret making it. If anything this is the best legendary Anet has made. The amount of work they put into it is really remarkable. They should get a lot more credit for how great it is.
Thanks so much! :'D
Hello! I'm reading down this far :)
Thank you so much! I'm glad you're excited! I can't wait for you guys to get your hands on everything :D
Hey! What are you doing down here? Shoo! I was here first!
This makes me very happy, very happy indeed. :3
Aww! I had a rough time choosing which weapon to make (daggers were also on the list), because they look so good! I adore all the little details like fabric parts, little chains and tassels.
<3
Wow!!! Seriously amazing job! The detail work, the paint job, the...everything! I also cosplay so I very much appreciate everything that went into this.
Also, it brings a tear to my eye to see my weapon models brought to life in the real world. They turned out SO good!
I really agree, and I can totally see how hard it would be to find new inspiration for weapons in video games. I think it's especially difficult for artists because weapons aren't just a cool skin anymore, but they are basically a whole audio visual experience. I want to say how exceptional the new legendary great sword is in how it addresses this, but it's quickly becoming the norm, give it 10 years and that'll be the starter weapon for x new mmo. Saying that, your work is really exceptional. I just hope to God that it's not released as a gemstore thing. That'd really kill the excitement for a new weapon release.
Thank you so much! <3
glowing bow string with diamond grip
the part i like the most, sadly, it always disappear while dismounting, or for some reason is almost always gone while doing wvw.
but kudos, this is one of my favourite legendary weapons in game :D
<3
I'm just sitting here like "Finally, a sword/Torch combo to go with Pharrus."
:D
First of all you've made amazing job with those weapons.
Secondly, Mystic longbow/(shortbow)? and Pharus are both looking great, I am aware of Pharus's special particle effects, but we are looking at a still image here, which if you don't go to imgur is very small, that makes it even harder to diferenciate between those two, and casual player won't notice the diference whether on picture or other player's back while stowed.
I've speand around 5k hours in game and if someone haven't told me this wasn't Pharus I wouldn't be abile to figure it out myself (I have never been much into bows tho...), probably because of that glow, it was the most unique part of Pharus in my opinion (might be wrong).
Now, that's no longer the case, it's both sad to see Legendary loose part of it's appeal, but on the other hand more people will be abile to have awesome weapons.
Nice Style tho... :)
Thanks! And I completely understand. At a glance they can look similar if you don't have the other next to it and don't know what the other looks like. It's easy to focus on their strongest defining features: the color family and the fact that they glow. This means they become more similar in your mind than they actually are since you're only comparing those specific features. I agree, it's problematic, but I'm not sure there's a solution.
it was the most unique part of Pharus in my opinion (might be wrong).
When Pharus came out people argued that Pharus itself was a "copy" of the chaos bow. And herein lies the problem: with how many weapons we have now and the limited number of ways you can create cool weapons, there are inevitably going to be ones which you can pair up and say "these look really close". Anything that has a glow on it is a chaos weapon. Anything that has gold on it is like that other gold one. It's an ever increa...
Read moreBeautiful work :)
Thank you! :D
WTF!?!? Why is Pharus one of the skins?
What you're seeing is my art style (and that they both glow). I made both Pharus and the Mythic weapons. I was fully aware that this set's glow would mean encroaching on Pharus' territory so I did what I could to differentiate them and they really aren't the same. The shapes aren't even remotely similar. The only similarities are the glow and my art style. Pharus has so much more going for it that the mythic bows do not have: special projectiles, enemy hit effect, character draw effect, animated parts, glowing bow string with diamond grip, cascading effect on draw, unique metal material, etc. The mythic weapons simply glow and have my style. That's it.
One of my favorite things in game is collecting backpacks. Also wverytime there's a must ha e legendary, I find there's a note somewhere that you were involved. Keep up the awesome work

But a golden Ad Infinitum has been a long requested feature.
From a technical standpoint you can't create that gold look with dyes. It would have to be a brand new skin with that special material. To anyone seeing this comment in isolation, I don't know what will and won't be happening. I'm just purely talking how stuff is made.
