I usually donāt play MMOs. Never played Guild Wars, may never play its upcoming sequel either. But boy, I could look at this concept art for Guild Wars 2 all day long.
These are all the work of artist Levi Hopkins, who has been toiling away on the series and its various campaigns for a while now, having worked various jobs like Prototype Lead, Environment Art Lead and 3d Artist.
I love these because theyāre fresh for a game with a fantasy setting. Too often anything involving magic and swords tends to get bogged down in the baggage of the genre, too reliant on the stereotypes and clichĆ©s that have come before them. Green fields, stone castles, pointy ears, you know the drill.
But this stuff has a bit more cleanliness to it, an almost sci-fi quality. Which looks great. You can check out more of Leviās art at his personal site, linked below.
