So I've always loved the way Nika was portrayed in the promotional material for Guild Wars Factions. So I attempted to get as close a look as I could. I used a makeover kit to try and get my thief as close as possible.
While I'm happy with the results, I'm always looking for improvements. Obviously the Guild Wars 1 armor didn't get ported over to GW2, so I had to improvise on the armor. The face was about as close as I could find within my choices. The dye job was my interpretation of her dyes onto the new armor.
I included a few pictures for comparison, even ANet's version in the hero.

 Pattou Fashion Guru | Well that's a very good idea ! Maybe you should use the same pants as the IG Nika, which is the whisperers' pants if I remember well. I also think that the face of your character looks too "kind". And the eyebrows are too small. But it's a good idea ! |

 Arahmitz Wanderer | Nah, from the screen with IG Nika it seems like these are the right pants :D |

 Vagrant Fashion Collector | @Pattou: I will take a look at the whisper's pants. From what I gathered they, the mess with the "assassin" vibe, and I took a more... artistic rendition. Thanks for the tips. And I did look at as any many other faces as I could, but their facial structure was wrong in most ways. This was the closest facial structure. I think the makeup makes her look "kind," which was a sacrifice I was willing to make. If you compare the box art where Nika is kneeling, and the side shot of mine, their facial structure is very close. |

 distilledpunk Stylist | Just FYI, Nika in-game (at least for her standard version) uses full Assassin's. So you picked good. Although you always could try to throw Sneakthief top and legs together for a more GW1-y vibe. It wouldn't be the same as Nika from Stronghold, but it might look closer to the Seitung vibes. |

distilledpunk Stylist | Also, for faces, you could always refer to http://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/9/91/Nika.jpg My guess it would be Row 3, Col 2 or Row 1, Col 5 https://wiki.guildwars2.com/images/9/98/Human_female_faces.jpg |

 Neelith Stylist | Pretty good, I like it but I would use completely different face. She looks a little bit like sad puppy ;) |
