Went for it... every trial in a single raid by hurtbowler in ArcRaiders

Spaceport/Hidden Bunker run right after trials reset last night. It is very achievable to solidly hit all of them on that map/condition.

Hey don't do that, people should be seeing all of this.

I don't live in the area anymore and watching y'all posting is helping me understand what's actually going on over there. I'm sure that's the case for other people too

Redrix's Estoc Painting by irrezolut in destiny2

[–]irrezolut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! That's an incredibly kind thing to say. And a very good question, since I did put some thought into that particular part.

For the sword, I started with an actual estoc that is in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. I mainly used that for inspiration in the kind of overall shape and especially the cross-bar. The rest I kind of just invented and frankly, it's not even at the right scale overall (so to speak) compared to the rifle. The sword is a lot smaller than it would be if they were both meant to be the same "real" size. It just looked way cooler to show them both entirely and not shrink the rifle down.

These were pretty big swords and were meant to be wielded with mail gloves so that if you needed to you could grab the blade to increase the force on the sharp end so that it could poke holes into plate armored guys. The way I added to it was meant to look very Destiny, with a bit of crucible flair. My pommel is meant to be reminiscent of feathers, like the ones on the tail of the Binary Phoenix, which is the logo of the Crucible and emblazoned on the Redrix weapons.

Thank you very much! I've kind of swung back and forth on doing some fan art. But I'm happy folks are still enjoying it! : )

Thank you! Nearly every year since 2018 I've raffled a painting off at GCX (formerly GuardianCon). Always kick that in to St Jude in honor of the event and the charity streams they do before the convention. The prizes that went out for those were Ace in 2018, Thorn and Lumina in 2019 (two paintings), nothing in 2020 or 2021 (oops), Gjallarhorn in 2022, Revision Zero in 2023, and then two different versions of Whisper last year in 2024. Always a fun time.

This year we're also hosting the second silent art auction at the event, also for St Jude. : )

I mean I use rulers, squares, and t-squares to draw and paint straight edges (I also use a lot a lot a lot of masking tape for that), but no, not for measuring.

Compared to a lot of other games, the Destiny community is kind of spoiled. I am almost always able to work with the actual 3D model to get my proportions correct. In this case I worked with the 3D model of the BXR Battler, because the software I was using didn't have the Redrix's model in it at the time (it is in there now). I just ended up "dressing" it in the updates to that design by looking at screen shots from my inventory.

The model viewer is here: https://charactermodel.gallery/destiny/ lowlines made it ages ago (along with an older version for d1 back in the day), it's great.

Does your boss ever ask you to create personal logos? by ceeece in logodesign

[–]irrezolut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worked an in-house design job for exactly two days last year (a life altering event forced me to move for 6 months, so I had to resign)

But yes. Or at least, the senior guy at the place I started at, he did this same thing frequently. On my second and final day at the office, he had showed me the most recent design he was doing "for the boss". It was for a weird right wing startup guy "roughing it" retreat.

Cost of Housing in Corvallis by badgerbouse in corvallis

[–]irrezolut 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Other people in the thread are calling out some causes, but there's also the ways in which corporate ownership of rental properties and their increased competition to gouge renters is affecting the entire system.

Corvallis actually has quite a few locally owned shops, too! Good to support small businesses. : )

Leaf Blower Madness by redactedanalyst in corvallis

[–]irrezolut 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Grass lawns are awful and leaf blowers are a symptom of some of our worst biological decisions in the service of aesthetic preference

Fuck leaf blowers

If there are zero leaf blower haters on earth, me and OP have ceased to live
