My piece for the amazing Ishtar Illustrated zine, showcasing our favourite lore entries from across Destiny 1 and 2.

The full zine is available here: drive.google.com/file/d/14Nl4...

#destiny2 #destiny2art #ishtarillustrated

A single page with four horizontal panels. The first panel asks "Anyone you want to remember?" and shows a bright sunny day where a little girl holds the hand of a Guardian as they walk with a crowd. The second panel asks "What will you do when we beat back the Darkness?" as Ikora, holding a paper lantern, leads a crowd under a shadowed archway toward open fields where Lord Saladin is waiting.
The third panel asks "When there is peace?". Zavala is setting up emerald tassels, Shaxx stands monolithic over a swarm of children, and Ana uses Solar to light up more paper lanterns. It's sunset, and the Tower and its walls looms in the distance. The fourth panel says "Make sure you walk the row. It's getting dark". Saint-14 looks down at a lit lantern in his hands, while more lanterns float into the starlit night sky in the background.

It's Saint-14 Day! I have no caption for this, it speaks for itself.

So close to 10,000! There are already actions taking place in other countries to go after a lot more than just adult content, let's get ahead of the game and protect all creative freedoms from corporate decisions.

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators.

I turn off ad trackers and cookies so my selection of ads is extremely random and not targeted toward me, but even with that, there's been a noticeable increase in financial loan ads recently : (

They're not even for luxury either, they're all for stuff like house maintenance or school.

I've been informed tags are now a thing again for Bluesky so ah, don't mind me: #destiny2 #destiny2art

Light forgets, Darkness remembers

Do you ever wonder who you were before?

Three versions of Destiny's Osiris stand in a brown stone archway. The toddler sits on the stone floor holding a ball, and reaching toward the teen. The teen, wearing a green jalabiya, holds a sassy angsty teen pose, leaning against an ornate table covered in a grey tablecloth with a silver tea set on top. He is shooting a glare at the adult Osiris, who is turned away from both, working on a blue tablet set on an industrial style table. The adults eyes are looking at the toddler. The archway is bordered with a blue and white background, and asphodel flowers frame the art.

Listen Lodi the entity giving you a friendly smile from the darkness is not someone you want to approach

Nearfromfar @nearfromfar.bsky.social · Sep 1

He deserves a vacation, maybe a nice relaxing time up in orbit with the stars

I forgot I had a bunch of new non-Destiny players on here. Hi! This is from Destiny's Edge of Fate expansion. This guy's totally fine, nothing could possibly go wrong... maybe

Poor Lodi did not sign up for this

A four panel comic. Lodi's shadow falls over the ringing anomalous phone. His hand reaches down to pick it up. He puts it to his ear, eyes obscured by the gleam of his glasses. With a pop, he is teleported to the classic yellow Backrooms.

There's some good Canadian specific packs that have popped up as a result of the US's ah... statements. I'm sure there are other country-specific ones floating around too! Here's an example of one of the Canadian ones

I fell into the same trap but with a glass dip pen 😞 only the nicest inks will do, they got us hook line and sinker

I will, thanks so much for organizing all this!

Nearfromfar @nearfromfar.bsky.social · Aug 14

I'd be honoured to be included if there's space! I'm just getting started (at what seems to be the worst time) with a Ko-fi shop and in-person markets very soon.

I went to read the wiki plot summary and oH m y g o d

They lost me in the first sentence and it was all downhill from there. Now I'm mad about the ending of a movie I've never seen

.... I am starting to understand why I'd never heard there was a new War of the Worlds if this is what it is

The first advert is from 1961, and here's a comparison of the different colour combos for that 45 model if any of them look like yours

Nearfromfar @nearfromfar.bsky.social · Jul 18

Similar to this one perhaps? Says it came with Quink ink cartridge and looks similar except for the gold piece.

My 42 Vision of Confluence's are also for my emotional wellbeing ;) because that's what vault space is made for!

Nooo 💀 Is there a way to look at your application file for Photoshop that's separate from the app itself? Mine stored any external brushes and textures under Applications - Adobe Photoshop *year* - Presets in a separate file that I can still access even with the app itself long gone.
