I posted this over on Reddit this afternoon when I thought the contest's deadline was today, so forgive me ahead of time because I'm just going to repeating myself, but in case you want to visit the original thread I'll drop a link at the bottom and, if you don't feel like reading, I linked my primary submission above all this nonsense. Hope you all like it! [quote]Greetings fellow guardians! This might get a little long-winded, so bear with me. I hope everyone enjoys it. I was at a loss at first, trying to pick out a favourite moment, a favourite memory from my first year playing Destiny. Don't get me wrong, I have a ton of great memories and moments, from launch until today, but the majority of my time until rather recently was spent alone. Because of this I never got to experience group content, like raids, until I stumbled across the fantastic folks in the Destiny Sherpa community (Both PvE & PvP) - I went from trying to take on Crota's End by myself to getting included in a wonderful group of friends whom I get to play with on a regular basis now. I couldn't be happier and I can't express how thankful I am for how patient everyone have been in showing me the ropes. Running with a group of friends has honestly revitalized my love for gaming. It's changed how I play, I actively try to seek out newer or less experienced players to try and return the favour to the community somehow. Now, as you can imagine, this sort of camaraderie is difficult to illustrate, much less make an interesting piece of art to look at. So in the end I decided I'd at least pick something from Crota's End, because it was the first group activity I ever got to finish and it was the first group activity I was able to take on single-handed after the fact: [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Detail?itemId=141062744]Strikeout[/url] But “What about the Darkness itself?” you say? [b]I'll punch it too.[/b] Not pictured behind the fame is the rest of the raid, trying to get a piece of that knuckle sandwich. The results of that I also sketched up: [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Community/Detail?itemId=141063348]Aftermath[/url] This is all done in Photoshop CS6 with a Wacom Intuos 4 tablet. Took me a few hours to do last night, and while I regret being able to spend more time on it (I forgot we only had two weeks, not an entire month!) I'm pretty happy with the outcome all things considered. Thanks for taking a look, and any support is massively appreciated![/quote] Here's a [i][url=https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheGame/comments/3ecm77/art_bungie_day_year_one_art_contest_submission/]link[/url][/i] to the original post if you'd rather read and comment over there. Thanks again Guardians! Edit: Took out more stuff nobody cares about!
