I have actually done her from GW2 Artbook with slight changes. Technique is oil paint. KristinaBlueBlur 13:04, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I think that tag only applies to works actually created by Anet, not to derivative works. — piper doesn't talk 16:54, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

I need to say that you paint really nice. Go on with it Kristina! -- Cyan 22:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Piper, Kristina has created an artwork of a Guild Wars 2 concept, thus it has the tag. It's like having a copyvio, if you make something that's like something else/an exact copy, it's still a copy. And I think we can safely say and assume this is a Sylvari based on ArenaNet's design. -- Lacky 00:41, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

By tagging it Anet, it means that the work is property of Anet. I partially disagree. The intellectual property is owned by Anet (the concept of Sylvari), but the painting itself is owned by the artist. Because of this fact, I don't agree that fanart should be lumped together with screenshots, concept art, in-game graphics, etc. — piper doesn't talk 18:47, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, I'm not an expert on the matter, I just know what I know. You should probably talk about it with Wyn. -- Lacky 07:31, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

(Reset indent) I didn't realize this image was a copy of a piece of GW2 concept art. Since it is, it is correctly attributed as the property of ArenaNet (although Piper is correct that the actual physical artwork is not theirs). elix Omni 09:54, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
