"Mordrem Lieutenant Malyck and Corrupted Trahearne"
Spent some hours last night seeing how much I could add to this practice animation for today, these are my results ;p

The potential for what was teased in Heart of Thorns' launch trailer endlessly inspires me. :')

In addition to the Trahearne/Malyck animation last month, a much smaller project I finished for the anniversary is adding animation to Ch2's finale page!
Page is live here: landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
It's roughly animated, but my hope is it adds flavor!
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #malyck #comics
Comic panel crop showing a background with large, thorned vines in the environment. The small figure of Malyck can be seen viewing the scene, overlooking the thorny vines.

Poor Malyck!

#GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #malyck #comics #webcomics #TheHarbingersPath
Comic panel crop showing the sylvari Malyck from Guild Wars 2. He's in the distance, a massive nest of vined thorns behind him. Wisps of smoke - the color of ley-line energy - billows from his pistol's muzzle.
Ch3, pg 9 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
Trahearne's okay!.. or is he?
Advisory for sylvari "sap blood" this page. Imo, it leans more "artistic" than "violent" - but as this is subjective, please use your discretion for your personal comfort level
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #malyck #comics
Happy 10-year anniversary to Heart of Thorns!
My little way to celebrate is showing a rough 2d animation I've been doing of Trahearne & Malyck for practice :D
I must emphasize this isn't polished! But hopefully it's a little amusing
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #Trahearne #Malyck #sylvari #2Danimation #krita
Comic panel crop showing the sylvari Malyck from Guild Wars 2. He's in an active pose looking off-camera. We see a glimpse of the back of Trahearne's arm in the background, in a separate panel.
Ch3, pg 8 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
With this page, I'd like to again remind I am fond of these characters - the more I put them through, the more it is an expression of my fondness for them. ;p
I promise it will have payoff soon!
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #Sylvari #Malyck #TheHarbingersPath
Comic panel crop showing Malyck from Guild Wars 2 holding his "Crying Thorn" dagger as he sneers down toward the viewer.
Ch3, page 7 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
The fourth panel of this page is a callback from quite a while ago! It was a bit of a challenge making it (hopefully) recognizable - let me know if it's clear or not. :D
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #Sylvari #Malyck #TheHarbingersPath #comics #webcomics
Monochromatic drawing with Trahearne and Malyck from Guild Wars 2. Accent colors for both characters' eyes - glowing orange for Trahearne, glowing cyan for Malyck. Malyck leans against Trahearne's shoulder.
Anyway, that's preamble to say, I did another practice sketch of them yesterday ;p
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #Sylvari #Malyck #Trahearne #art #sketch
Sketch of Trahearne and Malyck from Guild Wars 2. Trahearne intimidates Malyck using Malyck's dagger.

I just love drawing them!

Comic panel crop showing Malyck from Guild Wars 2 holding the tip of his "Crying Thorn" dagger to Trahearne's throat.
Ch3, page 6 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
This page teases one of my favorite, long-ago fan theories/speculations floated during the lead-up to HoT's original release - the one involving Trahearne's "last order."
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #Sylvari #Malyck #Trahearne #TheHarbingersPath
Comic panel crop of Malyck from Guild Wars 2. Portrait crop. As he smirks toward Trahearne off-camera, text reads: "....Have you wondered - why I remain in this form?"
Ch3, page 5 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
I've been looking forward to when I could post this page! Malyck mentions a few things I've been anticipating exploring in the comic.
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #malyck #TheHarbingersPath #comics #webcomics
In-progress painting of Malyck from Guild Wars 2 wielding his "Crything Thorn" dagger while grinning toward the viewer.
Another from the WIP vault
One more overpainting of an older drawing, but this changed pretty drastically from the initial concept. Redrew the face, and I'll probably do the same with the hand (one might argue I should just start a new drawing, but I like to suffer)
#gw2 #sylvari #malyck #wip #art
Malyck from Guild Wars 2 looking furiously toward the camera.
Ch3, page 4 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
How kind of Trahearne! That's our considerate Marshal.
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #malyck #TheHarbingersPath #comics #webcomics
Panel crop showing a close-up of Malyck's face looking down toward the viewer. Text read: "-why do you still resist?"
Ch3, pg 3 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
Malyck seems upset!
As mentioned last week, mild advisory for violence this page. Nothing graphic, but please use your discretion, as it might be considered more intense than past pages.
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #sylvari #malyck #TheHarbingersPath #comics
Progress drawing of Malyck from Guild Wars 2, who is painted with a red mask in preparation for adding colors later.
Cleaning up this page today :D
The colors aren't what we'll see in the final comic - it's just a bright color to more easily see what I'm masking.
#gw2 #sylvari #malyck #wip #sketch
Cropped work-in-progress portrait drawing of the sylvari Malyck from Guild Wars 2. Text reads: "Mordremoth beckons, Pact Marshal."
So he does!
(Cropped wip; I'll finish this sketch one day)
#GuildWars2 #gw2 #malyck #sylvari #wip
In-progress line drawing of a panel from "The Harbinger's Path" GW2 comic. Shows Malyck surrounded by thorned vines.
The last thing I looked at last night before going to sleep - angry Malyck haunts my dreams! Haha.
The page already has color; cleaning up/correcting the underlying linework.
#GuildWars2 #GW2 #TheHarbingersPath #Malyck #sylvari #wip
Panel crop from "The Harbinger's Path" Trahearne and Malyck fan comic. Shows Malyck from behind. We can see a glimpse of him holding Caladbolg, the legendary sylvari greatsword.
Ch2, page 11 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
Another sylvari theme I wish Heart of Thorns had explored more - the bond between Trahearne and Caladbolg. This mythical, legendary, "living" blade.
Next page this Wed!

Ch2, page 10 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
These pages have been a bit darker thematically - I promise it's for a purpose, and it will have payoff later if I've planned properly :)
Next page on Monday!

Panel crop from "The Harbinger's Path" Trahearne and Malyck fan comic. Shows Malyck surrounded by thorned vines circling his shoulders.
Ch2, page 9 now up! landylachs.com/harbinger/ch...
Mordremoth won't allow Malyck's resolve to falter, or doubts to fester. Such is the considerate hand of an elder dragon sire.
Next page on Wednesday!
