Canthan New Year


As you've probably noticed, I don't update as much as I used to. This is due to the simple fact that I got fed up with Guild Wars (for reasons that I am tempted to write down one time or annother when I don't have anything better to do) and left for something more fresh - LotRO.

But I still plan to become the God (actually, shouldn't this title be changed to "Farmer God walking among mere players"? Because I think it should), and i'm still attached to Cherrie, so i decided that we should attend the festival. Naturally I resigned as soon as I realised that most activities were re-runs (not much suprise in here, right?), but.. I did meet the Nian again! and decided I have to make a good use of this meeting.

Last year Nian knocked my jaw down to the ground. Thats the prettiest creature in all Tyria! Well , maybe except some of the Avatars... but they are Gods so... figures ;) I'd love to, I'd die to have a mini-pet Nian!

Hence, my post is a little tribute to Nian (maybe it's symbolic? the opposition to the Canthan New Year - symbolised by the love for the Nian - can be transcended to my opposition towards Guild Wars now? heh :p).

Anyways, Master and the Pet (who's the Master tho? ^^), Beauty and the Beast or Mistress and her Deamon. Enjoy, as this view is once-a-year only!


Those puny mortals stand no chance against the power of the Nian!

besides, I have my own theory. nian is against the Canthan New Year because the Emperor has ommited him in the year-cycle. And how could he! <3 Nian!


Actually, I even used to have a nian-wallpaper =^.^=

Celestian Patrons down on Tyria


Celestial Miniatures. Cute!

I like the idea of making them resamble star constellations a lot! But the fact that they were less common not so much, actually.

Anyways, Cher is - naturally - blessed by the Celestials, so she got both starry friends thanks to her Good Fortune and.. some regular fortune ;)

In case you've ever wondered how does the woman behind the Mesmer looks like ;)

The Queen of Lights


Yay, festival hats! One of the best excuses to go out there for a photosession ;)

The Wreath Crown Dwayna gave to her followers this year bears great resamblence to Saint Lucy's crown.. I tried to tie some of 13th of December tradition in this shooting, but - shame to admit - I decided to check the details and background AFTER I went shooting, so I did get the IRL part all mixed up... But Tyria ain't IRL, so let's not be very picky ;) I must say that the hardest part of the session was founding apropriate backgrounds... Took me and my little pretty helper (credits to Robin!) more than one hour..


A crown of flowers and lit candles cast on icy waters by a maiden in white in hope of waking up the sun and ending winder... A very romantic picture I couln't resist!

Happy New Year!


So, 2oo8 is finally here...

I can't say taht I'm very happy myself, but I can't help it so I just hope it's gonna be a good one :)

Hope you're all past hangover already and taht you had a lovely party.

Cher herself partied in royal style, attending Prince Bokka's fest (naturally she made sure not to meet the Prince himself as he tends to... party... too much) :)

She also treaded herself some fireworks in Saint Anjeka's Shrine ;)
