ArenaNet just kicked of Asura Week with a blog entry that focuses on the design process behind Guild Wars 2's "little goblin-y, flappy-eared tinkerer" race. Concept Artist Matt Barrett shows how his asura sketches evolved from his original concept into the style you see above.

Perhaps the best part of the blog entry is a video of Barrett drawing the above piece of art in a behind-the-scenes video! Watch the video below to see Barrett draw an asura in Photoshop in real time.
