These figures are great and inventive in memorable ways and they work so well together as a set. Love the final renders. The colors and shading have just the right amount of details.

pOiNtPuShEr - thanks Danny, hope all is well you dude! we should meet up sometime soon. its been too long my friend. i miss your face haha
WilbertPierce - thanks man. generally we had 5-10 workdays to complete. i only worked on one at a time. workflow consisted of basemesh, sculpting, retopo, uvs, bake maps, texture, and then paint skin weights. pretty standard practice for any game studio.
Medicinehorse7 - more of a team decision i would say. the art director always said a good modeler can make a concept but a great one can make a concept better. so, some of these i took some artistic liberties that i felt made them stronger designs. whereas, others i just made what was in the concept. it really depended on feedback from the team and lore behind each character.

Amazing characters!Beautiful work:D
Great jobs, i’m still in the learning process but i want achieve that level of amazing sculpts.
I love that there is very little drop in quality between the high-rez versions you’ve shown and the in game versions I see just about every night now.
Having come from other MMOs, GW2 is such a fun experience and a lot of that is owed to your great work.
Great work Jim! You made our game AWESOME! Can’t wait to see what you’re working on now.
Great work,
See basic skills are solid, the final effect rendering engine?
here’s an art update on the GW2 stuff I’ve done over the past few years. Hope you like it!
