The world of Destiny 2 can be a dangerous place. From the cyber-organic Vex to the terrifying creatures of the Hive, Guardians face many deadly foes during missions. Fortunately for Guardians, they have Ghosts. These small, sapient machines resurrect fallen Guardians. Due to their prominence throughout the game, many versions of Ghosts exist. However, that didn't stop one fan from attempting to make his own design for the classic machines.

In a post on Reddit, Curtis Holt, a 3D artist and software developer, shared a video of a new creation they had made in Blender. Using the impressive toolset, the artist designed a custom Ghost based on Destiny 2. Some of the highlights included a circular ring that orbited around the eye, along with angular metallic wings. In addition, the artist managed to give the object a chrome finish that looked stunning in the light. Furthermore, the creator revealed that its name was “Casper: Curt’s Friendly Ghost.”

In addition to sharing a video of the finished design and animation on Reddit, Curtis Holt made a YouTube video talking about the process of creating the Ghost. According to Holt, he wanted the design to reflect himself and his brand logo. When creating the Ghost, the creator revealed that he started with the eye. Ingeniously, he was able to create a pupil by scaling down his YouTube logo.

Once the eye was completed, he then designed the wings. “I like having harsh shapes layered on top of each other floating around,” he said. Part of the inspiration for the wings came from the design of the Guardians from Elite Dangerous. He decided to pursue this design choice as he revealed that he was not a fan of the blocky shape of the classic wings on some of the existing Ghost designs. In addition, Holt noted that the render time for the Ghost animation took approximately 2.41 hours using Blender.

This new Ghost designed in Blender by Curtis Holt has become popular with the Destiny 2 community on Reddit. With over 14,600 upvotes in only a day, gamers were amazed by the quality of the custom Ghost. Some even commented that they would have assumed that the Ghost was part of the game if they hadn’t known Holt had designed it.

It’s exciting to see the potential that this free-to-use 3D graphics software offers to creators. Recently, another artist made Engrams from Destiny 2 in Blender. As shown by projects like this, the possibilities for video game fan art using Blender seem endless, so it will be interesting to see what type of creations players come up with in the future.

Destiny 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
