I get goosebumps every time I open this god forsaken book!

Guild Wars has some of the best concept art I have ever seen. The style they’ve stuck with in GW2 is incredible; very fantasy storybook-esque.
As a long time GW2 player, I knew pretty much everything in this book but it was fun to see the behind the scenes, the didn’t make its (it’s always interesting to see how sylvari started out compared to how they look now), etc.
If you’re a Guild Wars fan, I’d recommend checking this out if you get the chance. For me it’s a cool art book I get to add to my game collection!

The Art of Guild Wars 2
Unusual for me to read a book of designs for a computer game. I have no idea about this world. Some really cool original concepts, e.g. “a city floating on an iceberg in the cold northern seas.” ***
