"you know, they used to | currently | will call me the drift king..."

Usually busy this time of year, but I saw this prompt and I couldn't help it. My will is not my own... something like that

#DESTINYTOBER25: "Train"

(Contains #EdgeOfFate spoilers)
#Destiny2 #Destiny2Art #traditionalart #Fanart
A Destiny 2-panel comic sketch parodying the "multi-track drifting" meme. Contains Edge of Fate Campaign spoilers. The first panel shows a 1970's Chicago train as shown from the campaign drifting by using two tracks, one for each train wheel. Ikora Rey is shown with her back against the side of the train and hanging on for dear life. She is depicted to be simultaneously herself as Warlock Vanguard and her first life as Dr. Nella Davis; her figure is drawn with a line splitting herself and her outfit into two, showing the clash of the Warlock's robes and her outfit as a mortal all within the same body. This is emphasized further through a shoulder-up sketch of Ikora and this split to detail the tempered anger of the Warlock and an expression of dread from the Dr. as a result of the manipulation of time and space done by the Nine. A plan which apparently included—as humorously told by the Emissary Lodi in the second panel—"Multi-Dimensional drifting!!"

A Destiny 2 digital doodle featuring a featureless person holding up a chibi Hunter by the cloak: This hunter is a female Exo who is shown being angry while tearing up. She is wearing the exotic Liar's Handshake which--in the quoted official post from Destiny2Team--was disabled in the Crucible due to a bug. The featureless person holding her up says: "Is this gremlin yours? She kept biting in comp..."

even the vanguard doesn't know how they got this far

I've started to properly learn digital art! And ofc i default to memes and doodles. of my silly fireteam. as one does.

#Destiny2 #Destiny2art #ocsky #art #ocart
A digital doodle of a Destiny 2 Fireteam, drawn like the "2 people on leash" meme. On the left most is a leashed Arc Hunter Exo. She is dressed in red and white, uses Liar's Handshake and is shown without her helmet. A massive grin is on her face and on a mask she is wearing, implying that she is a menace in the inside and outside. In the middle is a Void Titan Human, who is in charge of holding the leashes of his team. He is wearing a knightly set, adorned with orange ribbons and brown fur to match his exotic Ursa Furiosa. Without his helmet, he looks like he's so done with his companions despite wearing a mask that implies he would also be as mischievous as them at first. Lastly, on the right is a Solar Warlock Awoken who is wearing the second leash. She is wearing a black and brown coat with bronze armor without her helmet and wields a pair of Sunbracers. The mask she wears imply that she is normally chill, but in the inside she stays silly. All 3 Guardians are glowing in their Subclass colors as if they have their buffs active, alongside being depicted with their ability loop: the hunter's arms glow Arc blue to continue the eternal loop of Combination Blow-Dodge-Combo Blow; the Warlock's lower half burns Solar red for Heat Rises and had proc'd Sunbracers to start spamming grenades; and the Titan, being the responsible one, readies Unbreakable and gives his team Void overshields. A small label on the artwork is the name of their fireteam, "Fireteam Elite", but with the word "Elite" crossed out and replaced hastely with "Y'all F'd up", courtesy of a laughing Arc Hunter

I hate that exactly one of these is possible in the first place LOL
A screenshot of Destiny 2 gameplay. Pictured is a run of the Rite of the Nine version of Ghosts of the Deep. The player is reloading while fighting an Acolyte that has two Banes: Hypernova and Shock. The player is being tethered to the Bane via Shock just as the Hellion Turret fires a shot at the Acolyte.

ty for the giveaway opportunity!!

Ren's made a cameo about not beating the Warlock Jump fail stereotype, so how about another fact:
She may look serious and nonchalant, but that's either bc her head is in the clouds or she's trying really hard to focus that nothing is being absorbed :)

An edit of the "Not What I'm Called" Meme On the right is the OP (me) represented by my profile picture and username "Arcanium". I say "hey guys" to a group of people. Their response is a cropped screenshot taken from Destiny 2, showing a prompt to "Pick Up Arc Cranium". I yell back "NOT WHAT I'M CALLED"

spotify bugged out, i only have one copy of this song but it won't stop adding it again after every song

...this is what executive dysfunction looks AND sounds like, fyi
A screenshot of a Spotify playlist queue. After the currently playing song and an additional song, the queue is filled with seemingly endless copies of the song "Let's Get It Started" by Black Eyed Peas. The additions are treated as part of the playlist queue rather than as an added queue. The same song continues to be listed beyond what the screenshot shows.

An edited image of the "Buff dudes shaking hands" meme, with the screaming cat from the "WHY IS IT ALWAYS THINKING" meme placed over the head of both dudes. The dude on the left has a caption of "11 Pages". The dude on the right has the caption "40%". Their handshake has the caption "WHY IS THERE SO MANY WORDS".

not even the prediction theories are safe 😭
A screenshot of a note. Heading: "D3/Post TFS predictions" Further down the note is a point with the text "Expac 1: At World's Edge (vs The Nine)". The word "Edge" is underlined with red, referring to the quoted post about the many instances of Bungie using the word "Edge" throughout Destiny. Both Bungie and the author of this note (me) need a thesaurus.

Been too busy this year to have art ready for the brainrot day celebration alas

BUT have this unfinished sketch from last year of an outfit swap between the two Warlocks ft. Vol the Ghost and Fenix the Sidtri <3
PLUS an old meme sketch
#GrandChase #Destiny2 #Destiny2Art #art #oc
Picture of a drawing sketch: On the left side is Arme Glenstid from GrandChase alongside her pet Sidtri, Fenix (who is a Fire bird). On the right side is Ren, my Destiny oc alongside her Ghost Vol. Both are Warlocks of their respective games, so they are drawn here swapping their outfits. Arme is now wearing Ren's Warlock outfit complete with Sunbracers, but with the front of the helmet open to show her mischevious face. Ren is now wearing the outfit of Arme's 3rd Job (Warlock), smiling while holding the weapon Lamp like it's a gun (with trigger discipline). Fenix has a Ghost shell floating around him while Vol's shell matches the Sidtri's look. At the bottom is the caption "WARLOCK" with a symbol belonging to the GrandChase Logo and the Warlock Class of Destiny respectively. Picture of a sketch of the Steven Universe "We have to kill this guy" meme On the left is Ren, a Warlock Destiny oc who is wielding her Fatebringer. On the Right is Arme Glenstid from GrandChase with her Battle Mage War Staff. Ren, with a concerned face, tells Arme that "I think we have to spam firebolts on this blueberry, Arme". Arme sighs in defeat, saying "Damn." The dialogues are written with respect to their games' way of showing dialogue.

10 Years since the supposed "end" of my last hyperfixation
4 years since the start of my current one

i still celebrate how my brain chemicals have been altered ever since

Happy brainrot day to my purple-haired Warlocks who love setting the world on fire
#GrandChase #Destiny2
Image of a meme: the left side features a picture of Arme Glenstid from the game GrandChase as her 3rd job Warlock with the caption "Died April 15 2015" The right side features a picture of my Destiny oc Ren who is also a Warlock with the caption "Born April 15 2021" Below their pictures is a caption that states "welcome back, Arme Glenstid"

Here's the look if anyone wants to try it!
And take it to this week's GM Moon if you want the cinematic feel of Eramis vs Once-Phyris like I had :)
A Destiny 2 screenshot featuring a warlock in Eramis cosplay while using Winter's Wrath during a Grandmaster-level Battleground (Moon). The Warlock is the last Guardian standing and fighting against Once-Phyris, an old friend of Eramis turned Scorn. A Screenshot of the appearance page in Destiny 2, featuring a Warlock outfit containing the following setup: - Eramis mask - Osmiomancy Gloves (Endothermia Ornament) with Goldtusk shader - Lightkin Robes with Scintillant Trajectory shader - Tusked Allegiance Robes with Ancient Republic shader - Ketchkiller's Bond with Vintage Timber shader

Brought back a favorite cosplay just for her to say she didn't like it 😔
#Destiny2 #FOTLFashion2024
A screenshot taken in Destiny 2, where a Warlock cosplaying as Eramis is taking a selfie with the real Eramis behind a translucent prison wall. The real Eramis looks at the Warlock with disgust, and she was at the middle of saying "One last humiliation" as the screenshot was taken.

This is such a great recreation, love it!

I'm not sure how it would look, but may I suggest this type of Warlock helmet that might fit too?
(this one is Channeling Cowl from Prophecy and iirc the silver Intrepid set helm looks similar)

BONUS PANEL
"You'll get used to it."

ft. Case!! (and Crime in the bg I gueeeess)
When i suggest Vol be in it, I mentioned how he'd use the flappy bits of his shell to facepalm. so why not draw it too?
#Destiny2 #Destiny2art #oc
A Destiny 2 art featuring two Ghosts, Vol and Case. Vol does a facepalm (with a flappy bit of his shell) watching his Guardian fall off-screen. Case is also there, barely acknowledging his Guardian in the background accidentally exploding after accidentally shooting his own gunpowder gamble. Again.

"Am I wrong?"

Vol made it as a cameo for @destinythememe.bsky.social's SWHFTT comic, and this follow-up is the first thing that came to mind LOL
i haven't done digital art in so long but i HAD to dust out the ol tablet for this one
(bonus panel in comments)
#Destiny2 #Destiny2art #ocart
A 3-panel Destiny 2 comic featuring Vol the Ghost and his Guardian, Ren. This comic follows DTM's SWHFTT comic. First panel: Ren and Vol are looking upwards. Vol says "Hey look! I made it in!" then whispers "wrong eye color though...". Ren replies, "That's awesome Vol! Congrat—HEY!! I didn't need to be called out like that!" in reference to the prior comic, where Vol is one of the anonymous Ghosts that are disappointed in their Guardians that can't jump. Second Panel: Ren and Vol are now looking at each other. Ren follows her statement with "Wait...isn't this supposed to be anonymous?", and Vol replies, "Hard to be when everyone knows you can't jump." Third Panel: Ren does the Shinji in the chair meme pose, with Vol floating over her.

first time clearing the solo flawless within the season/episode of a dungeon release!

dungeon report makes it look like things escalated quickly LOL
#Destiny2
A screenshot showing my stats for the Destiny 2 dungeon, Vesper's Host. Pictured is 5 runs represented by dots: the first one is a red dot representing an incomplete run, followed by 2 green dots for clears, then the last 2 green dots with stars on them, representing a solo and a solo flawless run for the dungeon respectively. Giving a total of 4 clears, two of which are solo runs.

maybe this is why my vault is always full...
(3 of them are for my Warlock [main], during a time where the rolls could be different each time you bought one from Eva, and I wanted to maintain my stat spikes LOL)

(Minor spoilers for Revenant Act 1)

Did you know that if you go into HELM with a character that hasnt finished the Lightfall Campaign (I'll get it done later, shh), instead of the default blender cube skybox interior, the HELM keeps the closed shutters from the opening cutscene? #Destiny2

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev #meme
An edited 4 Panel SpongeBob meme. The first panel has SpongeBob holding up a piece of paper that says "You should start with a simple game that you can finish in 6 months". The second panel shows SpongeBob, labeled with "Amateur Gamedev" looking good at the paper with disagreement. The third panel has SpongeBob (with the same label) throw the paper into the underwater fire while smiling. The last panel has SpongeBob (with the same label) warming his hands over the fire, satisfied.
