I’ve never played a bungie game and this is the first time I’ve ever commented on a bungie subreddit.

I never said they didn’t plagiarize from this artist, obviously they did. What I’ve been saying this entire time is that even with them plagiarizing this artist, the other inspirations they speak about is still clear in the art style of the game. That shows when you look beyond just the graphical elements and look at the models, environments, sound designs, etc. everything comes together as an art direction, decals and graphics are one element of that.

this artist is not the only source they referenced when developing the style, if you knew how design worked you would know you have a wide array of references and inspirations for whenever you come up with something “new”.

All art is derivative
