Randy @rivaldi22.bsky.social · 15d
Hello, #PortfolioDay! I'm Randy, a writer/artist with particular affection for engaging, emotional stories about monsters, robots, & other nontrad. characters.

I'm looking for illustration/narrative work in games, esp. in the indie sector! Let's build something small together!

🔗: circlestrafe.net
A digital illustration of Dûl Incaru, the Eternal Return, daughter of the Witch Queen Savathûn, from the game Destiny 2. She is holding herself tightly in a sentimental pose, arms crossing her chest with her head resting on one hand. She is a Hive Wizard with a unique model, with tall flanges on the side of the crest on her head, which gives the impression of wings or ears. She has three glowing green eyes. She has broad, spiky pauldrons that are pierced with spiked rings. Around her wrists are spiked bracelets inscribed with glowing Hive runes. She has more spiked rings attached at the waist, from which flow crimson ribbons. She is flanked by shattered columns, and looming behind her are Savathûn's three eyes. Heulog holds herself as close as she can and continues to hum. She couldn’t yet form the vocalizations, and maybe would never be able to do so, but she hoped that for now the acrid notes alone would suffice. That through the burgeoning haze of unchecked anxiety Kysurax would be able to recall the invoking words and hear the earnest appeal to her inner strength, the words that define that strength as extant and obligate it to come forth, to inhabit her bones and manifest as the truest form of her will. The words that assert that she, as a single unified force of will and body—in defiance of all existence—shall persist. Heulog feels the thrumming slow, its rhythmic cadence aligning with her own deep breaths. She gently removes her hand from Kysurax’s torso and feels the Wizard’s arms close around her, pulling her into a tight embrace. “I am afraid,” Kysurax finally says, calm returned to her voice. “But I temper that fear with the certainty that I will be alright, because you are with me.” She looks down at the Exo in her arms, into the starblue flames that are her eyes, and smiles. “I do not doubt, for I have seen your heart. As you have seen mine. That is the power intrinsic to the Yielding Inquisition: there is no obfuscating act of misdirection, no factor of deceit that can withstand the abrading blade of trust conjured by the ritual. Truly, I have known you, and that secret knowledge is a weapon with which I joyfully flense and cast aside any and all flesh given over to the rot of doubt.” Cover art for the podcast "Real Lich Hours" hosted by Kaye Ross and Gary Butterfield over on their network "Duckfeed.tv" for their new season wherein they are covering "Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines" The art is of the two hosts as vampires, looking menacingly at the viewer. They have glowing eyes, Kaye is glowering over her indoor sunglasses and sipping upon an IV blood bag. The background is a gothy bar setting, with wine bottles and skulls and candles and the like. The logo for the show has been stylized to look like a neon bar sign, specifically one for Miller Lite. A digital illustration of an Exo Warlock from Destiny. Her chassis is teal with brown/maroon markings on her shoulders, fingers, and a stripe down the middle of her face, where she also has a single horn protuding from her forehead. She is wearing an olive green dress with bits of lace, and her hands are up grasping her shoulders.

You could actually structure your moral code around the idea that law enforcement doesn't exist to execute people. You don't have to create perfect victim narratives, you can just refuse to accept that the state gets to kill people.

To those who come before and after

Residents of the sea of stars, momentary flickers of chemical and will

The will become your place of honor

You inheritors of the primal dream

You children of the rising ape

Seek beyond the edge of the firelight

Because you want to share that warmth

Really enjoyed TR-49: loved the subtle weirdness of the setting & the tactile input methodology, which led to fun little discoveries both critical-path & easter-egg.

I think its smaller scope (~5hr) fit my ADHD better; I loved Roottrees, but it is *sprawling*, & I'd need to restart it at this point

You cannot overstate how startling it is to see a politician just say the thing with clarity and poise. No fearful hemming. No overwrought qualifying down til it’s meaningless. No lingering sense that there is a loyalty to a donor class or an ideology of stasis that they’d never admit to.

Mamdani: "I am in support of abolishing ICE. What we see is an entity that has no interest in fulfilling its stated reason to exist. We're seeing a government agency that is supposed to be enforcing some kind of immigration law, but instead what it's doing is terrorizing people."

In the auroral splendor of the Traveler's Light, all things are possible, such as getting all the Brays together long enough to take a family photo.

A commission for @vallaragna.bsky.social from 2024 (that she’s currently making into an incredible embroidery piece!) #Destiny2Art
Illustrated portrait of the Brays from Destiny 2, framed as a family photo. From left to right in the front is Rasputin, who has a full exo body, is wearing a black trenchcoat, and is hiding behind Ana Bray, ineffectually covering his face with the coat's collar in an attempt to hide from Felwinter. Next is Ana Bray crouched in front of him, smiling, and is the only one really looking directly at the viewer. She has her arms around Archangel ("Archie") the robotic exo-dog. Then there is Felwinter, wearing his helmet and Iron Banner robes. He is leaning towards Rasputin, fist angrily clenched as Void energy gathers within. To the rightmost is Elsie, who is side-eying everyone else and generally looks like she doesn't want to be there. Looming behind everyone is Clovis Bray's giant exo head, and the setting for the photo is his spot at the bottom of the Bray Exoscience Labs down on Europa.

Finished the outline for the piece based on @rivaldi22.bsky.social 's work. I'm packing this up because I'm about to move, but I'll continue in my new apartment.

This is gimmick infringement.
Screenshots of old tweets I made, quoting an N image of Blastoise from Polemon Unite wearing a vest and a pork pie hat. uncle with a new job lookin, kings of comedy lookin ass Blastoise comin thru the function talkin bout his "just like new" Mazda Miata Blastoise at your graduation talkin bout "they aint used to do hair colors like that in my day! I ain't mad at it, I ain't mad, but it's new!” (Continued) This Blastoise got an old ass leather wallet, stuffed to the brim with ones and cards for defunct auto body shops. AND it is ALWAYS threatening to fall out his pockets My man won 5k on a scratch ticket last week, got a whole new fit. Saw him in the church parking lot this weekend with to the deacon's sister, talkin bout "It's French, actually. It's pronounced 'Blas-twah'

"Labor share, or the portion of the U.S.’s economic output that workers receive through salary and wages, decreased to 53.8% in the third quarter of 2025, its lowest level since the BLS started recording this data in 1947, according to its labor productivity and costs report published last week."
U.S workers just took home their smallest share of capital since 1947, at least
American workers aren’t just getting the smallest share of GDP since records began. Their share of employment is shrinking and shrinking

A black and white illustration of a barren prairie with a dirt road leading up to a small traveling carnival with various rides and attractions. A looming gargantuan cloud of dust approaches the carnival and takes up the majority of the composition — emphasizing the immense difference in scale between the dust storm and the carnival grounds. a black and white illustration of a gargoyle perched on the corner of a cathedral balcony with gothic architectural stylings. clouds billow in the night sky and frame the moon in the background. moonlight casts over a sprawling city inspired by european architecture and layout there is a "how to gm romance" watermark over the art. A color cover illustration for the Little Wolves TTRPG with muted purples, blues, greens, yellows, and reds, with black line art. The title logo is done in a yellow stylized blackletter ambigram style that reads the same upside down and right-side up. The logo sits in front of a large red moon. The main focal point of the composition is a young werewolf with glowing eyes, running along with two wolves behind them. The werewolf is tangled in the vines emerging from the silhouetted trees that frame the composition. Along the edges of that frame, in four circular vignettes created by the branches and vines, there are cameos of the four queens of the game: the witch queen, the troll queen, the pumpkin queen, and the mermaid queen. A banner along the bottom of the cover reads “A realm of folk and fae from Dinoberry Press" a black and white illustration of a swamp landscape gnarled trees and skulls floating in the water. a banner flows at the top of the composition and is hand lettered with the label “swamp”
