This video was released almost 3 weeks ago, but hey - eggnog can make you groggy! Chris Butcher, Engineering Director at Bungie, gave a talk (well, participated in a one-on-one technical discussion, really) at HandmadeCon this past November, focusing on Asset Systems and Scalability. It's not really aimed at casual viewers; it's pretty technical, and might be boring to folks uninterested in programming. However, if this is your cup of tea, it's FASCINATING, and full of honest evaluation of an aspect of Bungie's workflow for Destiny. If you're interested in some of the differences between Halo and Destiny, under the hood, watch this. Thanks to Cody Miller for finding it. (The discussion on our forum might be of interest, as well.)
Prop maker Zander Brandt has created highly detailed hand cannon replicas fit for any gunslinger. The Hawkmoon is particularly cool and I wouldn’t mind owning one myself! You can check out Zander’s blog to see how he built these weapons. (via Kotaku)
One of B.Org's Senior Field Correspondents, Hedgem0ny, Tweets a lot of great Destiny fanart made by a number of individuals from across the globe.. Here's a blatantly-shameful stalking of some of his recent aggregations:
by Ayatori0
Sword of Crota replica by ProfessorCaTPardus and for sale on Etsy.
Warlock 3D model by martynball - more shots on his DeviantArt.
Last, but not least, DestiPonies by Arteses-Canvas!
I missed this originally, but Bungie posted the cinematic trailer for Destiny's first expansion: The Dark Below (it had been discovered in the 1.0.3 patch update, but now Bungie has officially published it). Narrated by the new Tower character, Eris, the prologue sets the stage for December 9th. Can't wait!
After The Last Word was Xurred last weekend, iconicbanana showed us a fan-made prop he found through Reddit, created by Sloan. There's some shots of a few custom Ghosts in the maker's blog post, too!
TDSpiral shared a host of Daniel Chavez's work for Destiny that the artist has recently released. Some beautiful and mind-titillating stuff in there! Warning: lots of large images.
Act now! Buy Destiny for your past gen console and we'll throw in a copy of Destiny for current gen ABSOLUTELY FREE! That's TWO Destinies for the price of ONE! But this deal WON'T last forever! So pick up that controller! Servers are standing by!
Been waiting to upgrade to an Xbox One? Microsoft just made the jump a little more enticing! Starting next week at select retailers when you buy an Xbox One you can get any new Xbox One retail game for free! In my unbiased opinion you should probably just pick up Destiny. Thanks Lekku for pointing it out!
Lost Viking Props (well-known for their Halo weaponry) has posted pics of a Destiny Auto-Rifle in progress - looks fantastic! (Thanks for the heads-up, Lorraine!)
Over at the Red Bull website, Michael 'Flamesword' Chaves (longtime Halo pro, all-around eSports athlete) discusses Destiny's potential as a competitive title. Interesting read!
Mike Asanuma let us know that he finally finished the Warlock cosplay we mentioned a few months ago. You can find more photos of the costume (and its props) in this Bungie.net thread. Nice work, Mike!
With somewhere between 5 and 600 people now in the studio, it's almost like working at Bungie is nothing special - I mean, everyone's doing it, right? Every once in a while, though, we hear about a hire that causes speculation through implication - and Gamespot noticed one that does just that. Former MLG Pro Bonnie 'Xena' Burton tweeted yesterday that she's joining the Bellevue crew - she brings some interesting skills to the table! If we learn more about what she'll be doing, we'll let you know.
Excited to say that I’ve joined the talented @Bungie team and will be working on Destiny! #BeBrave pic.twitter.com/OfhVIrx68K

These detailed props from Nerfenstein look beautiful, but my gut instinct tells me we'll need something deadlier than orange foam darts to take down a Fallen Captain! (Nice find, Hedge.)
What happens when a cosplaying Bungie fan has access to a 3D printer? We get to see awesome stuff like the Warlock gear "m asanuma" is crafting for WonderCon. You can follow the progress of this expertly-modeled project over in this Bungie.net thread.
The hunter's knife, as crafted by Logan Lukow. (Thanks for the tip, Jordan!)
Hedgemony continued his streak of finding news-worthy Destiny images with the discovery of Klash120's cosplay-filled flickr page.There are multiple sets to browse through (One | Two), giving you a glimpse into the entire process - from creating the costumes to goofing around outside Bungie HQ. Impressive stuff here!
The last time we heard from UnknownEmerald, he was showing off his Hunter and Titan costumes. It looks like his arsenal of Destiny weapons has grown, because now he's got a Conduit F3 fusion rifle to charge into battle with. It even lights up!
Learn how Bungie fan UnknownEmerald built his own Duke MK.44 in the video above, then check out his awesome Hunter and Titan costumes in the pic below. You can find more shots of these outfits over at his Deviant Art page. Nice work, UnknownEmerald!
The Duke MK.44 is a modern masterpiece with its holo sight and hair trigger, so it's no wonder that master prop builder Aslak from Orion Works decided to build bring it to life. Visit this Facebook gallery for a few more shots of the finished hand cannon, but don't forget to check out this WIP size comparison photo. The Forces of the City would be proud!
What's better than a ridiculously sick community-built replica of "Thorn", the black-as-night afterlife-initiating hand cannon from Destiny? Not much. So. Awesome.
Joining today's onslaught of YouTube videos is DaFrontlineTrooper's clip showing off a prop rifle he made after seeing the design in the Destiny gameplay reveal. What this gun lacks in heft, it makes up for with a snazzy paint job. (Thanks, Mr Daax.)
DaFrontlineTrooper constructed his first Destiny prop based off of the work-in-progress models seen in the Pathways Out of Darkness ViDoc. Check it out!
