Custom LEGO Destiny Guardian Minifigures

"The strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack"

 

After months of hard work, I finally completed my custom minifigures from the video game Destiny. These figures are based off of my personal Year 1 characters (Titan, Hunter, Warlock respectively), hence the outdated gear. Before I say anything else, I know a lot of you think Destiny was a shit game and I understand your reasoning, but I enjoyed playing the game. I made a lot of new friends, like my buddy Shane/DaLastPrime, by playing this game and made a lot of good memories, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't complain about how much of a let down Destiny was to you or how awful you think the game is. But hey, I'm not stopping you, however I just want the main focus to be these custom minifigures.

 

I'm not going to go into a ton of detail on this photo because I am planning on uploading 3 more individual shots of each figure, so I'll go into further detail on those pictures where you can see all of the details I'd talk about.

 

First off, I need to thank Sander. Back in July I commissioned him to make me a few items for these figures, knowing I'd be making them for the release of The Taken King. I commissioned him to make Achlyophage Symbiote, Helm of Saint-14, Obsidian Mind, Chest of the Exile, and the Kellhunter's Hood. I got the items back in September but I didn't have enough time to make all 3 characters by TTK, so I decided to just hold off and take my time. Sander did a spectacular job with the sculpts, and I really cannot thank him enough. Go check him out if you aren't familiar with his work, he's one of the best sculptors I know and is an awesome dude. Thanks again man!

 

Just as a quick overview of each figure, the order goes (L->R):

-Titan: Defender Titan sporting a Thunderdevil-ish shader. All parts of the Titan, besides the helmet, were sculpted by me. He has a Dead Orbit Titan Mark on his right side which isn't visible from this angle, so I'll be sure to show you that in the individual photos. The Titan is armed with a painted Red Death pulse rifle from Brickinator99's shape ways store.

 

-Hunter: Gunslinger Hunter with the Queen's Web shader. The helmet, cloak, and torso were sculpted by Sander, the rest by me. One of the trickiest parts was the hood, which I ended up modifying a CapeMadness hood so it could fit around the helmet. I also wanted to shoutout Josiah (brickzalive) for giving me some tips on dry sculpting, mainly with the knife on the side of the Hunter's leg. The weapon is a custom made Fatebringer hand cannon made out of BrickArm's HC1, ABR, and various other parts. He also has a gold plated BrickArms MK.44 Hand Cannon (thanks Sean!) but it's not pictured, but will be included in the single photo.

 

-Ghost: Saw Jaymes's (TheLostMinifig) design for a Ghost a little while back, so I copped his design, so credit to him!

 

-Warlock: Voidwalker Warlock sporting the Cryptographic shader. The helmet was sculpted by Sander, the rest was sculpted/crafted by me. The Warlock had some pretty tricky elements to him, mainly being the collar and the robes. The robe/torso extension was made out of two combined cloth skirt pieces, then cut up and painted. I chose cloth because I wanted the legs to still be able to move around. The collar is a significant part of the Crota raid Warlock chest, so I knew I had to add it. It was sculpted out of thin layer of Procreate. The Warlock is armed with Brickinator99's Vex Mythoclast, which I painted. Hopefully I'll be modifying it a little more soon.

 

Please let me know what you all think! I'd really like to get some feedback considering it took me months to make all these figures!

 

Thanks guys!
