Yep, was also disappointed by that, but at least we have the bear-visage helm - even if it took 14 years ^^;

Screenshot from Guild Wars 2 of a charr standing with arms crossed wearing a bear-visage helm illusion. Behind the character is a wooden statue of a Kodan from Janthir Wilds.

And the line-art for it

Black and white line digital art of a Kodan from Guild Wars 3, a large bear-like species from the upcoming game. It looks directly at the viewer. It wears a shirt with a thick rope-like collar around the neck where gold jewels hold claws and feathers. It has a belt slung around the shoulder with a small pouch on it. The bear has a small amount of braided hair at the top of its head, what resembles a mustache, and a braided goatee.

Tried to match the energy of the recent Kodan concept art

Digital image of a Kodan from Guild Wars 3, a large bear-like species from the upcoming game. It looks directly at the viewer. It wears a green shirt with a thick rope-like collar around the neck where gold jewels hold claws and feathers. It has a brown belt slung around the shoulder with a small pouch on it. The bear has a small amount of braided hair at the top of its head, what resembles a mustache, and a braided goatee.

Kodan concept revealed in new blog post! 🐻 Key points: - They'll add more species post-launch! (I'm firmly locked in to the bearkin though 😆) - Common background for all species as members of Vaelwarden guild - No unique stats/abilities per species www.guildwars3.com/en/news/our-...

With twelve jars of handpicked raspberry jam in my luggage and two weeks with friends and family, I’m heading back to my own cave once more

A coffee pot standing on a metal grate over flame.

Sunset as seen from a canoe on a lake in northern Sweden.

Heavy rainfall as seen from beneath an awning near a cottage. The sun is shining through the murky clouds, creating a golden shine.

Sunset in a pine forest, to the right sits a dog looking out over a lake we cannot see framed in the picture. Its silhouette is lit up by the sun.

Suddenly transformation while checking out a second-hand shop

Plastic figure of a woman climbing on all fours beneath some decaying wood and across rocks, partially inside the body of a grey wolf. She’s hunched over, her left arm is transformed as it is within the wolf’s left foreleg.

The other side of the figurine shows nothing of the woman, and just the gray wolf.

Being jobless for so long in a town where I know very few enough to hang out properly is taking its toll on me, I badly need a win soon so I can move on with my life But for now, sitting in a park in beautiful weather is uplifting 🐻

Photo of a Remarkable with a cropped sketch of a bear transformation. It depicts the upper body of man mostly transformed into a bear. The face is unchanged, and he has a large moustache. He looks at the viewer intensely.

BearShaper@bearshaper· Jun 21

The new Kodan is surprisingly rotund from what little we can see of them, so did a short study of how they'd perhaps look without the armor They should be more square/stocky, but couldn't resist falling back into the familiar pear-shape

Simple sketch of an anthropomorphic bear, one from side view and the other in 3/4:th view. The left one is very barrel chested, whereas the right one is more pear-shaped. The right one lifts up one hand paw, while the other rests grasps its belly.

My very first and definitely not last Kodan fan-art from Guild Wars 3!

A digital sketch depicting a Kodan from the game Guild Wars climbing high up on a cliff side, with one paw in the upper left gripping the rock, and one foot hidden behind the cliff. It has its body twisted around so it can look at the view. There’s specks of leaves and floating seeds in the air, and there’s wind picking up from behind and mussing up its fur.

BearShaper@bearshaper· Jun 5

Kodan looks to be playable, and that's incredible! But man, I'm absolutely floored about what to think! What's the state between confirmed absolute hype and worried frown? I'm there, I think

BearShaper@bearshaper· Jun 3

I'm mentally stunlocked by this freaking cosmetic and the anticipation for Friday, gah Gonna make myself some tea and reset

Screenshot from the game Guild Wars 2 depicting a Charr wearing the new Bear-Blessed Visage helm that changes the head into a bear's, wearing green and golden armor, looking over a railing at the beautiful landscapes in Lowland Shores.

BearShaper@bearshaper· Jun 2

This new helmet in Guild Wars 2 was MADE for me! It's absolutely GORGEOUS, amazing work. I'm also *very* excited for ArenaNet's mysterious reveal during Summer Games Fest, notably because the Kodan is heavily heavily implied to be around in Orr due to hints in Janthir Wilds. Choo-choo! 🚂

A screenshot from the game Guild Wars 2 depicting a Charr wearing a highly detailed bear helmet that changes the face into a bear. The screenshot is taken in Lowland Share of the expansion Janthir Wilds where we can see some Lowland Kodan patrolling a bridge in the background.

One of them hairy dragon sketches drawn in a bumpy camper van, with some heavy undertones of bear #Transfur #TFTuesday #TFEveryday

Digital sketch of a hairy big-bellied man very unevenly transforming into a furry dragon. His neck, head, and right arm, is completely disproportional to his undressed hairy "bear"-like body. The dragon form has large curved horns, the fur is very wild and grows thick on the dragon form, whereas his body is simply human-level hairy. His left arm touches his belly. The dragon's face is still unchanged, showing the eyes and brow of the man still.

BearShaper@bearshaper· May 16

Sketching my brand of unevenly proportioned, hairy dragon TF 🌈 (Thanks @stellario.space)

Photo of a ReMarkable 2 against an interior camping window where in the landscape we can see a typical red Swedish house against cloudy skies and a rainbow in the sky. The ReMarkable has a sketch of a mid transformation of a man gaining a large furry beard around a big dragon muzzle. It has curved horns. His eyes and forehead is still unchanged.

BearShaper@bearshaper· May 8

Some old unpublished art for Donkey Day #TFEveryday #Transfur

Graphite sketch of a man transforming into a donkey. The man's eyes and forehead is unchanged, and the rest of his body is in varying stages of transformation into a large donkey. His right hand is fully transformed into a large hoof, and his clothes are tattered. He appears to be braying.

Full image of the transformation. His tail is struggling to break free from a few strands of cloth still holding it back. His hind legs are fully transformed, belly and neck is fully transformed.

It's very useful to get an accurate read of values while working, so I typically clone my working window in Clip Paint and pull it to my other monitor. Works great!

Window > Canvas -> New Window to clone your current window so you can pull it to other screens.

BearShaper@bearshaper· Apr 25

Artist tip: Clip Paint doesn't support grayscale value out of the box, but I found two ways: 1. github.com/ubisoft/Chroma is an app that sits on top, works for any program 2. Install this color profile and configure in "View > Color Profile", then toggle with Ctrl+Y: drive.google.com/file/d/1Lv8c...

I am cooking #TFEveryday #TFTuesday #Transfur

Digital graphite sketch against a white background of a transformation sequence close-up of a man growing a bear's muzzle. The expression shows clenched canines, with eyes closed. The screenshot shows the Clip Paint layer panel on the right.

Sometimes you gotta lay down the reference bear to get to the paws 🐾

Photo of a gray 1:12 scale grizzly bear art reference pulled out of its stand and placed lying on its back on a wooden desk. On the left is a glass cup with tea.

It only took six years for him to finally finish the transformation #TFTuesday #TFEveryday

Updated my 'Hero Forge'-sona with all the new bells and whistles they've added since I first created him Wish I could splurge with good conscience and get it printed, one of these days 💸

Screenshot of an anthropomorphic bear from Hero Forge viewed from the front, wearing mostly green clothing and backpack.

Ventilation piece from ~'22 Moving away from friends and family to a pretty dreary place, feeling like I just 'existed', so looking out of the window with a cup of coffee as company was not unusual back then

A simple sketch of an anthropomorphic bear viewed from behind with a small cup in his hands, dejectedly staring out a window.

Constructing a chill area to bathe in as a Kodan is escapism at its finest

Image of a hot tub in the Homestead of Guild Wars 2, where the player sits in the lower right corner in the water as a bearkin. There's steam vapors from the hot water, orange leaves and decorative lights hanging above.

An anthropomorphic bear stands in front of a fireplace sipping coco. In the lower right corner there's a few flasks, and in the upper right you can see stone stairs leading up to the hot bath, with vapors rising.

Happy balloon day @haizebou.bsky.social! I've always been an ungulate at heart (went by a minotaur before!), and I've always appreciated your support, so I hope you appreciate this fanart of your character in my style 🦌

BearShaper@bearshaper· Oct 1

Currently sketching out a cave painting for the background to add a bit of lore to it (this is just a small part of it). Slow but fun!

Colored sketch of a rough background depicting a night sky with aurora borealis in the background, and a rock on the foreground depicting cave paintings of a spirit bear emerging from an aurora looming above the figure of a small simplified human. Around him are strange circular shapes with a stalk pointing toward the man.

BearShaper@bearshaper· Sep 30

When the aurora shines bright, the bear spirit recognizes your offering #TFTuesday #TFEveryday

To the left is the mostly changed image of the face a man, blending bear and man, leaving only a sliver of the face intact. To the right is a turquoise-colored spiritual bear licking the changing man.

BearShaper@bearshaper· Sep 23

It's #TFTuesday but I didn't get to finish what I'm working on in time. So I dug up an old iteration of a TF image I drew years ago with a different energy that I kinda like! #TFEveryday #OldBearShaper

Digital graphite sketch of a guy transforming into a bear. The shoulders, neck and muzzle is that of a large bear, while his very surprised expression from the nose and up looks at the newly formed muzzle. The muzzle snorts a gust of air, and the lower fangs are protruding.
