Final Shape Vienna

Final Shape Vienna

I've finally been able to finish my design for Via during the final shape, I am super proud of it, and excited that I finally get to share it! No text ver. and my thoughts about TFS dlc below the cut :)

It's been a bit hard to draw lately, my hands have been hurting and making it quite difficult, which is partly why this design took so long to get out. Taking a break did not prove helpful, I just hope I can find something that does help. Apologies for my openness... Anyway! So... Final shape... It was... a wonderful experience, I'm happy that bungie had knocked it out of the park in every aspect. I adored being able to see the characters I love; I loved getting to fight alongside my fireteam, getting to be around Crow, Zavala, Ikora... getting to see Cayde again. God that broke me. It made me so, so happy, but damn if it didn't make my heart bleed. Bungie really knows how to give me a real gut punch.

I haven't decided what I want to do with Vienna, part of me was so convinced that the best course of action was to end her story after final shape, let her rest, let her be with Cayde. But now I'm not so sure... I don't know how to rewrite the ending without invalidating Cadye's sacrifice. I try to write Via as close as I can to canon, keeping true to the original story while still writing her in the way I want to, and getting to tell her story right. So, thank you bungie. Thank you for writing a wonderful, thought-provoking story, an in-depth world. Despite all the bumps and hiccups along the way Destiny means a great to me, I love being able to write Vienna, to get lost in the universe, it's brought me a lot of comfort and happiness that I wouldn't have had elsewise. The opportunity to get to spend it with my fireteam, my friends is invaluable, they mean the world to me more than anything. I'm excited to see where the story goes from here, and I will continue to create more artwork and writings for it, at a quicker pace hopefully! Thanks for reading my rants if you got this far, and I'll see you starside. 💫

Forgot to show off this spicy ramen charm I got! High quality, lots of freebees, and a great artist! I will most definitely be carrying this everywhere with me ( ˘ ³˘) ~♡

Go get your own! -> @cosmicwhalecafe

HOW DID I FORGET MICAH AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY THE SIX COYOTES SYMBOL IM JUST A LITTLE SILLY MY APOLOGIES

Newest vidoc reveled each card part of the new arsenal has a person who has influenced cayde on it!

We know Ikora (king of diamonds), Zavala (king of hearts), Maya Sundaresh/Lakshmi (queen of hearts), and possibly Elsie (king of clubs).

What is confusing, is that the top row completely eludes me. At first, I thought Shiro might have been represented by the queen of spades, indicated by the iron lord wolves that accompany the card, but im not quite sure the exo looks enough like Shiro.

My first thoughts about the warlock, hunter, and titan, was just significant experiences with each class as his time as vanguard. But given who these other cards are about? Im not so sure about that theory, they all seem to be relating closely to who Cayde is.

Elsie sort of makes sense, if that's actually her, given that the time loop she's stuck in starts EVERY TIME with Cayde becoming vanguard. But honestly, that's really all that comes to mind.

One thing that stands out to me, is there is one, significant person missing. Where is Andal?? Unless he is represented by the hunter with the helmet, I am thoroughly shocked, and honestly a little disappointed. With how big a role Andal plays in Cayde's story, I would have expected him to make an appearance.

Id love to hear your thoughts and theories on these cards and what they represent further, so please feel free to elaborate!
