This meme but with destiny ocs :]
Exos are hard
I've been thinking a lot about destiny lately, and how I want to go about writing and drawing out my warlock, Vienna's, story, now that the light and dark saga is coming to a close. I was a bit late to the destiny scene, all things considered, and between my creative struggles and (trying) to be a functional human being, I've not created as much as id have liked to. So come along with me on my little rant as I think allowed my thoughts, if you feel so inclined.^^
There's still so much I want to write, and stories to tell within the destiny universe.
I started playing the game during season of the plunder, when my friends introduced me to it, and we became a glorious fireteam! I was drawn to the pretty warlock space magic immediately, and thus, Vienna was born. ( Though I've since become a hunter main, she's still my favorite blorbo. )
I quickly fell in love with the story and it's characters, dug deep into the lore and since then, her story has gone through a LOT of changes. I try to stick close to the canon story for the most part, in my universe Vienna is the young wolf who was risen in D1, and has since gone through most of what we see throughout the dlcs and seasons past then, I'll probably elaborate on that further at one point.
Most of my drawings that I've posted here are fun little doodles, occasional quips between characters, and overall "for fun" stuff. The majority of what I've thought up for Vienna has been confined to my own head and the rare rants to my friends. And now with final shape being so close, I feel myself pressured to know, and write down, everything that I can. Which, realistically, is silly.
I had plans to make a three minute animatic of Vienna during forsaken since it was a MASSIVE turning point for her, have it out by final shape, then make an entirely NEW animatic based off OF final shape, mostly inspired by Caydes return. Whilst I had mapped out most of it and gotten some rough sketches down, I didn't even begin on the actual project. Could I have? Probably. Do i feel guilty about it? Yes. Will those projects still happen? Hopefully.
I know for all you creatives out there that might be reading this, the feeling of having plans, and not being able to carry through with them, or it not turning out how you wanted, is a shitty feeling, not foreign to ANY of us.
I felt myself compelled to write this in the first place because I know that, well, I'm not alone.
There's many creatives out there feeling the same pressure to get stuff done as I am, even if we don't say it. We want to have everything figured out, to create something wonderful, with the final shape feeling like "the end" of destiny as we know it and all. So this is me calling out to whoever might be listening; be nicer to yourself.
You have all the time in the world to create that animation, paint that painting, write that story. Just because final shape is "an ending," doesn't mean you can't still work on and have fun with the story beats you have in mind prior to Final Shape. No ones gunna call it silly, were all equally starved for content here. And who knows, once we all know how final shape ends, it might inspire you and help your story flow together better.
I'll try my best to tag my posts relating to Vienna and her fireteam with time stamps from now on, as I tend to jump all over the place and it could get really confusing really fast. The TLDR of it all;
Don't feel guilty about unfinished projects. Final shape isn't the end, dont let it be, and dont feel confined to just creating content relating to post final shape.
That's all! I appreciate you reading if you got this far, and im excited to see the amazing things the Destiny corner of tumblr will come up with next.
See you starside! ( ´ ▽ ` )ノ
So it's all wrapped up, right? It rhymes and everything. I remember that when I draw first version of this art (below) I was wondering if we ever get something more symmetrical, more grand and equal to the Cayde's End. There is this sense of completion and closure of sorts, seeing story not just refering, but actually reflecting itself.
As a hunter, can confirm, it is a rite of passage
SWHFTT Sunday: Wish finale
♠ Take care of the Ace of Spades, will ya? Im not just taking about the maintenance; Banshee can help you with all that. I mean, take care of Ace. Use it well.
Hey, look at that! I was able to get it done before final shape! WOOHOOOO!! The gun has a bit of a rainbow shine to it ( like it has when you preview the weapon in game ) but unfortunately, it doesn't show up in pictures. So take a look at the WIP video here!
This took an unspeakable amount of sanding, painting, and trying to get the trigger to work, not to toot my own horn or anything, but I think it's one of the better aces I've seen, and I'm super proud of myself. \(´ ∇`)ノ
Now, time to disappear from tumblr again to avoid final shape spoilers! Enjoy the DLC everyone, I hope it's a positive experience for all of us.
See you starside ✨
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. 💫

My first destiny comic I’m working on! You might be able to recognize what scene is about to play out…
// PT 1 // NEXT //
Aaaaaa this is my first destiny comic!! This is only part one, so this will be continued! Stay tuned :)
This is about Vienna and Cayde’s reunion inside the pale heart, but it will also hold some of their backstory in later parts. Super proud of this, and I hope you’re interested too!
See ya starside 💫
Yoooo this is so pretty!!
M'lady.
Curious about my eyes? There's nothing special about them.
Shiro posting!

I had fun making this based on a conversation the two had about how his optics worked. She attentively listened to his every word.
We need more Shiro art.
Pt 2 of my comic is underway, and making good progress! ☆
Disciple Vienna Concept
This was a piece I WAS working on.. before I decided to give up on it… lol
I liked the concept, but not the execution. I’m definitely going to revisit this concept sometime in the future, but I wanted to share this until then :)
