Randy @rivaldi22.bsky.social · Oct 14
Hey there, #PortfolioDay! I’m Randy, a writer and artist with particular affection for engaging, emotional stories with monsters, robots, and other nontraditional characters.

I’m looking for illustration and narrative work in the games industry, especially in the indie sector!

🌐: circlestrafe.net
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. 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.” 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. 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.

I also wrote a short little piece for @swordlogiczine.bsky.social

"The Cutting Case"

In which Heulog-12 and Kysurax talk about Hive language and the role learning and teaching play in Hive culture.

"Consider the gelato, sen-Luzaku—its ephemeral nature reminds us: be not cowed by vacillation lest beauty & opportunity elude us."

"My skull hurts."

"An auxiliary lesson: the value of temperance in the face of Humanity's frozen treats."

submission for #SolarEmbraceVOL5 by @d2artevents.bsky.social
A digital illustration of two Lucent Hive Lightbearer Wizards, Kysurax and Luzaku, sitting at a table on a sunny day. In front of them is a table with a bowl of gelato. Kysurax has her arm around Luzaku's shoulder and is gesturing to the dessert with her free hand. Luzaku has a spoon in hand, and has just taken a bite. Both of them are wearing lighter, lower-profile versions of their chitin raiments, spines and claws tipped in gold. Kysurax has a spiked bracelet and choker, while Luzaku has a gold chain necklace and hoop earrings.

In the interest of cultural integration, Kysurax has been introducing our new ally Luzaku to some of humanity's various culinary delights
A drawing of Lucent Hive Lightbearer Wizards Luzaku and Kysurax. Luzaku is holding a pupusa with a bite taken out of it, and Kysurax is resting her hands on Luzaku's shoulder tenderly. Dialogue: Luzaku: You speak the Sky's truth, sek-Kysurax: my meager soulfire's dim flame burns brighter than ever in the wake of this "pupusa". Kysurax: Ha—yes, they are quite good indeed. But your soulfire is _always_ searingly luminescent, sen-Luzaku. Take care not to diminish your Self in the cuts of your compliments—all things can be good, we need not turn our claws inward in the pursuit of their appreciation. Tomorrow's understandings will come in the form of "gelato".

The Wizard and the Monarch, or Luzaku Makes a Friend

#destiny2art
A drawing of Luzaku, a Lucent Hive Lightbearer Wizard, looking down at the back of her hand, where a monarch butterfly has landed. The drawing is largely just lineart and shading, the only colors used are the warm orange tones for the butterfly, and the sky-blue sheen of Luzaku's facemask.

Caught up on the Renegades stream last night and apparently my girl is getting a gun?!

“Service of Luzaku”

Good for her imo

#destiny2art #destiny2AOTW
A quick drawing of Luzaku, a Hive Lightbearer Wizard, from Destiny 2. She is holding “Service of Luzaku”, an Exotic Machine Gun. Promotional image of Service of Luzaku and an ornament for it. One is spiky and gothic-looking, in the style of Savathûn’s Throne World, and the other is a little more rugged-looking, with what looks like a drape of scales over the barrel.

Lorle Zhan for Tav ✨

#Destiny2Art
Lorle Zhan — took the mantle of hive god during Taken King; insists she had the idea before Eris — has returned to her Awoken form; working with Executor to help rekindle her solar Light — quite fond of Executor; it is not mutual but he is reluctantly helping — used butterfly iconography instead of moths; why? [in red ink: because she’s clearly prettier than Savathûn] — settled her Hive in Ireland which she leads even now in her Awoken form — had become an expert in “weird things” within Dread Regardless — knows Alibi is watching

Hundreds of Starbucks baristas and labor organizers blockaded Starbucks' largest distribution center in York, Pennsylvania, halting distribution of syrups, coffee beans, and other supplies to the entire northeast.

This escalation is part of @sbworkersunited.org's ongoing strike.

Just thinking about how easily I could have been instantly won over on Renegades if Aunor Mahal showed up wearing the Heart of the Praxic Fire, or some variation thereof.

Truly I am a creature of sentimentality. 🥲
concept art of the Destiny 1 exotic armor "Heart of the Praxic Fire," a medieval-styled set of Warlock robes over a chainmail hauberk that looks like the raiments of perhaps a classical paladin or war cleric.

It's a shame we'll likely never get a sequel to Star Wars: Outlaws, bc it does a lot of things really well, and the things it does less well could benefit from iteration.

Hell, I'd pay for DLC that just added more cities to skulk around & play sabacc in. Just a bit more of Those Vibes Immaculate 😌🤌
