Randy @rivaldi22.bsky.social · Oct 14
Hey there, #PortfolioDay! I’m Randy, a writer and artist with particular affection for engaging, emotional stories with monsters, robots, and other nontraditional characters.

I’m looking for illustration and narrative work in the games industry, especially in the indie sector!

🌐: circlestrafe.net
A digital illustration of an Exo Warlock from Destiny. Her chassis is teal with brown/maroon markings on her shoulders, fingers, and a stripe down the middle of her face, where she also has a single horn protuding from her forehead. She is wearing an olive green dress with bits of lace, and her hands are up grasping her shoulders. Heulog holds herself as close as she can and continues to hum. She couldn’t yet form the vocalizations, and maybe would never be able to do so, but she hoped that for now the acrid notes alone would suffice. That through the burgeoning haze of unchecked anxiety Kysurax would be able to recall the invoking words and hear the earnest appeal to her inner strength, the words that define that strength as extant and obligate it to come forth, to inhabit her bones and manifest as the truest form of her will. The words that assert that she, as a single unified force of will and body—in defiance of all existence—shall persist. Heulog feels the thrumming slow, its rhythmic cadence aligning with her own deep breaths. She gently removes her hand from Kysurax’s torso and feels the Wizard’s arms close around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. “I am afraid,” Kysurax finally says, calm returned to her voice. “But I temper that fear with the certainty that I will be alright, because you are with me.” She looks down at the Exo in her arms, into the starblue flames that are her eyes, and smiles. “I do not doubt, for I have seen your heart. As you have seen mine. That is the power intrinsic to the Yielding Inquisition: there is no obfuscating act of misdirection, no factor of deceit that can withstand the abrading blade of trust conjured by the ritual. Truly, I have known you, and that secret knowledge is a weapon with which I joyfully flense and cast aside any and all flesh given over to the rot of doubt.” A digital illustration of Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return, daughter of the Witch Queen Savathûn, from the game Destiny 2. She is holding herself tightly in a sentimental pose, arms crossing her chest with her head resting on one hand. She is a Hive Wizard with a unique model, with tall flanges on the side of the crest on her head, which gives the impression of wings or ears. She has three glowing green eyes. She has broad, spiky pauldrons that are pierced with spiked rings. Around her wrists are spiked bracelets inscribed with glowing Hive runes. She has more spiked rings attached at the waist, from which flow crimson ribbons. She is flanked by shattered columns, and looming behind her are Savathûn's three eyes. Cover art for the podcast "Real Lich Hours" hosted by Kaye Ross and Gary Butterfield over on their network "Duckfeed.tv" for their new season wherein they are covering "Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines" The art is of the two hosts as vampires, looking menacingly at the viewer. They have glowing eyes, Kaye is glowering over her indoor sunglasses and sipping upon an IV blood bag. The background is a gothy bar setting, with wine bottles and skulls and candles and the like. The logo for the show has been stylized to look like a neon bar sign, specifically one for Miller Lite.

Stylized, colorful magenta-hued drawing of Dûl Incaru. She is reaching towards the viewer with a hand open palm-up. There are green sparkles arcing from the extended arm and gathered around her face. Text at the top reads: "Let's take ibuprofen together" Bottom text reads: "Every three weeks"

There is an uncanny quality to the Renegades marketing; all these oblique references to Star Wars really shine a light on how strange a space the expansion occupies: officially licensed, yet bearing the hallmark qualities of legally-distinct imitations.

Has there been another game that does this?

turns out that the government clerk's somewhat-cavalier assurance that this will have been resolved within 48 hours was wrong! who could have predicted that?

Princess Calla wearing a tank top, cargo pants, combat boots and a ton of leather holsters/pouches, determinedly holding her sword in front of her as she stands in the debris of a knocked down section of brick wall, a slum like city looming up and glowing behind her against the night sky.

me when everything just keeps happening
Indrikis XIII from Latvian cartoon Fantadroms. He is a weird-looking robot cat-thing that is colored with primary colors. It looks like he is sneezing or something, I don't know; it is clear he's having a bad time.

Three progressive mayoral candidates are challenging the billionaire-backed Establishment today (November 4th).

Vote for Omar Fateh in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Do not rank Jacob Frey.

Vote for Katie Wilson in Seattle, Washington.

Vote for Zohran Mamdani in New York City, New York.
