Guild Wars 2, Halloween Diorama 2012 Contest
Hey, as you may have noticed, I've been a bit absent from the site recently. This is due to Guild Wars 2, and I must say I'm loving every minute of it.
They are holding a Diorama contest for Halloween, & I've decided to enter some of my models, themed into a custom diorama (GW2 + Halloween).
Hope you enjoy it, & I'll post here if I win anything :)
I do have a few paper models to come, but I need to go buy some paper to build them 1st, so pls keep visiting, & see you soon.

Guild Wars - NPC Marker Arrow
Hi. This is my last Guild Wars related model, from the series I've done as a Homage to the game. Head start for Guild Wars 2 commences this weekend, & that will be my new haunt for many years I hope.
I have been busy with Guild stuff in the run up to GW2 release, & also real life commitments. So although I haven't built this model, it is ready for download, so the picture is just a 3D render of what it will look like built.
You can attach some fishing line or cotton to the flat top panel & hang it above your chair while you sit & play, & become your own NPC.
I would love some pictures of this, so pls use the Contact tab & send me any images of you as an NPC for me to share here, that would be awesome.

Guild Wars - Event Gifts
The good thing about these models, is they are incredibly easy to build, plus you can enjoy them even if you're not a Guild Wars fan. You can put some sweets inside while you build, & give them as actual gifts.
Continuing on with my Guild Wars Homage. These are the penultimate GW themed paper goodies. Most players will have come across all of these items, & probably received a good few of their own.
Gifts were always very cool to recieve while playing, & there were numerous ways to get them. Seasonal Events, Character Birthdays, Daily Quests etc. & I for one will miss them (Hoping for similar things in GW2) so here they are for you to build & keep as a memory of a favourite GW moment.
If you like these, or any other of my toys, tell your in game friends to come and visit my site. After all, I do this for fun, & I want to share with as many people as possible.

Guild Wars - Domain of Anguish Gemset
After having a look at a lot of Items & objects in Guild Wars, I decided on a few that I will reproduce as a Paper model, as a Homage to the game I've spent the last 6 yrs playing, & also something for fans to build & have on there Desktop to remind them of the good times spent in GW1. Here is the 1st item, keep an eye out on the blog for the others to follow soon.
The release of Guild Wars 2 on 28/08/12 will mean most players, including myself, will be spending a lot less time in the original saga, & concentrating on exploration of this new Tyria.
Good times were had in one of the Elite areas called Domain of Anguish. A place made up of 4 areas, that upon completion of each one, allowed you to take on the big boss Mallyx. One of the other reasons to go there was the Gemstones. Collecting 15 of each gem type (1 type per area) gave you an Armbrace of Truth from a collector, which could then be traded for a Tormented Weapon... but... enough about the game, let's get to the paper.
I decided a stand would work well with the Gems, as otherwise they would just be laid around loose & not be displayed very well.
I hope you will enjoy building & displaying these Gems on your desk, as you're playing at the start of a new era in the Guild Wars story.

MARA Alliance Logo Design
I'm just throwing a few ideas together at the moment for this logo, as MARA (Mature Age Recruitment Alliance) are looking to change their current logo, & have put out the request to members to come up with the new one.
The basic spec was to incorporate a Dragon, or part of one, along with the name Mara. Also, sections of it should be able to stand alone. Here are my final Logo Images.
Full Logo
Dragon head with Border
Dragon head without Border
Stand alone Mara
I don't know if these images will be chosen as the new Logo, as judging isn't until July. I will just have to wait & see, but I hope they like them. It would be a good feeling to see them in use.

Red Servitor Golem Minipet Toy
Being on a Guild Wars 2 theme at the moment, I have just finished a Papertoy based on the Red Servitor Golem Miniature, generally referred to as a Minipet. This particular Miniature is acquired through gaining a certain amount of points in your Guild Wars Hall of Monuments. A reward system for playing and achieving certain goals in the original Guild Wars.
The Golem itself is a creation of the Asura. A playable race in GW2. The Asuran's weren't playable in GW1, but they did feature as part of the Eye of the North Expansion.
I was planning to do a Charr, but as the previous post said, I was finding it difficult to get a model to look how I wanted so, did this one instead. I do like the rounded panels on this toy, it gives it a nice look.
I'm sure I'll be doing some more Guild Wars 2 related stuff soon, so keep an eye out for it. Something to keep fans busy until release.

Guild Wars 2 Charr Model options
I'm thinking about doing a custom Paper toy to look like a Charr, from the MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Im sure you've heard me talk about that game before, and already worked out I'm hooked.
I haven't decided which model to use.. I have an "A" and a "B" option pictured below, but can't work out which will be best. There is also a "C" option which is start a new design. Let me know what you think.
If I don't get the Charr looking how I would like it to look, I could always do a Servitor Golem.
Updated Model

GW2 Desktop Pen Holder
Being all geared up ready for the world that is Guild Wars 2, I thought I'd put this out for avid fans & new players alike to have on their desk. It doesn't hold water, but pens & sweets are all good. The best thing is though, it is emblazoned with the Guild Wars 2 Logo.
Although this isn't an endorsed product, I did ask 1st, & they said "It is an acceptable use of their assets" which is awesome, as that means I can share this with you.
I personally can't wait for the game to come out. Having waited for the past 3-4 years for it's release.
I want to spend a bit of time over the next few weeks adding some projects to this blog, before I get sucked in to the expansive MMO world of Tyria. So, I hope you will enjoy this & keep an eye out for some more stuff in the coming weeks.

Digital Action Hero - T-shirt Designs
Hey everyone, I know it's been quiet on the Playing with Art front recently. I've been playing around with other designs that aren't paper toy related.
Plus with the impending release of Guild Wars 2 MMORPG, & the Beta Weekends. I've been gearing myself up for that also.
What I am working on, is an idea to create some of my own T-shirt designs, under the Label "Digital Action Hero". I thought it was a fitting name as I want to do Gaming/Urban culture related Vector designs on them.
Anyways, here is a couple of Logo's I plan to use.
If you want to Download the Illustrator CS4 file of a Blank Figure & have a go at designing an outfit for it., then you can Get it Here. Just make your outfit on the base figure, then export as .png at 75dpi. Use the Contact Tab to email me. If I get enough designs, I will start a separate blog for this venture.
Here is one I did, based on a Guild Wars 2 Necro Armor.
I will hopefully work on a Paper Toy very soon, so don't worry I haven't stopped.
Let me know what you thing to the Logo. Thanks, & see you again soon.
If you visit the Artwork Tab, there are quite a few more finished Action Hero's dressed to represent the Guild Wars 2 Professions
