I had the opportunity to work on the evergreen Key Art that will serve as the primary Destiny 2 artwork across all platforms moving forward.
With the final Destiny 2 update, we wanted to create an impactful image that could represent the franchise without trying to capture too many elements from across the game. With that in mind, we chose to center the piece on the Traveler and the visual themes of Light and Darkness. It also acts as a visual companion to the original Destiny 1 Traveler artwork, which featured the Traveler above Earth.
To create this artwork, I began by setting up custom lighting and capturing in-game screenshots of the Last City Traveler, created by our incredibly talented @Bungie skybox team. From there, I painted over the traveler itself in Photoshop, pushing the lighting and overall tone to create a moodier, sunrise-inspired look that better reflects @DestinyTheGame identity and the journey we've been on.
I finished the artwork by compositing Earth behind the Traveler and adding a radial and our classic topology hatch marks around the scene to help reinforce Destiny's visual identity.

In the round pen, but the yellow mustang went on her first full exploration of the barn and large arena today! Ciabatta was so very brave about it and only blew at the shadows made by the giant ceiling fan. So proud of my little wildie 💛🥹
I'll be forever grateful for the way the Destiny community got me out of my shell. Sure I would go missing for long periods, but there were always friends waiting for me to come back as a casual
They have their work cut out in catching me up again
