Our community has many talented and skilled Guardians in it, some of those Guardians are artists. Each week we at DTR (Destiny Tracker) will showcase some works of art created by one of our very talented artists in the Destiny community and get to know alittle about them. This week, our spotlight goes out to a Guardian that has been playing Destiny since April of 2016. Instantly falling in love with the universe Bungie had created for her love of art and the breathtaking environments to the smallest detail on each Guardians armor. The Tank100 has played every class of Guardian but always comes back to her favorite class, the Titan " i tried them all but titan was and still is my all time fav lol, titan for life !". The Tank100 is an amazingly talent young artist in the community, her passion for art can be seen in the pieces she creates and shares with the community on her social pages and everywhere. Like so many in the community The Tank100 has been dabbling in art since she was a young child, exploring her creativity at an early age and developing a passion for it. Asking her to share when she began to discover art she replied " Oh man i been drawing for so long it hard to say ,as a kid i guess i always loved to draw or make stuff out of playdoo, was a big thing when i was a kid lol but my parents where artistic as well i learned more from them and they put me in side classes after school but i hated them kinda funny saying that for someone that loves art anyway, but then this teacher in highschool she show me so much more after school or she let me do what ever i wanted at lunch time in her class room so i would teach myself with all the tools and etc in that class room but if i ever had a problem understanding or. That i could not get it at all my dad was there to show me and he still does today". Asking The Tank100 what her favorite medium to use when she is creating a piece she responded with saying " My favorite medium and it comes to creating art i would say is painting its funny i always hated to paint when i was a kid and as i get older i find it relaxing and i always make it a challenge and still learn from it". The Tank100 has a natural talent for creativity with creating art pieces, for a young member of the community she is quickly gaining a following of fans for her Destiny specific art pieces. Asking The Tank100 who or what influenced her or inspired her to start creating destiny fan art pieces "well i have two reasons why i got into destiny art so one is because i started a new job at the time and found out a old high-school buddy worked there to so we would talk about gaming and destiny, till he asked me to paint his fireteam so i did and it turned out great. i loved how it turned out so much i started to do small stuff and posted it on Instagram till on day my good friends Boompus_III but at the time i did not know asked me to do a commission for him so i said sure, so it go to this point where i wanted this to be the best painting ever my first time selling art to someone i not know and i kept him updated and we started chating about destiny and started playing destiny, it was awesome and we always talked about destiny and art and learning new ways of trying new stuff, also he was getting back into drawing and his drawing where awesome i loved seeing what he can do so i think we kinda help each other out alot and i found that he always kept me going and always helped me out with alot cuz there where moments it got hard to do the art , i find i still learn from him and i have seen my stuff get better and better. Also the second reason is there is a group of us called The Art Of the Traveler and we always show of asks questions and learn from each other and it does not have to ever be destiny and its nice to make friends with other artist and she them grow and learn from each other" she replied.
It's truly an honor to have The Tank100 in the community, with sharing her incredible art pieces with everyone and furthering her techniques and styles with each piece she creates. Being a young member of the community I asked how has her engagements and conversations in the community helped her grow as an artist and asked what her favorite part of the community is?. The Tank100 responded with saying " The destiny community is great to know everyone is so nice and helps each other out and i seen so much from it is great, its almost like one big family and its awesome to have other artist see and like your stuff, also ask questions on stuff and no one is afraid to ask questions to learn from you and you can ask them stuff to and they will help or tell you stuff like what they us, cuz i have asked about pens or paper they us so that i got the same so i can learn more, i never thought i could learn alot more that i did not know. There are so many great artist or other people in this community its great. My favorite part about this community is how everyone it like family and we learn from each other. So many great people to now". The Tank100 couldn't have said it better, the Destiny community is more than a gaming community its a family that and so much more that truly makes it stand out from the rest. Everyone you engage with is always more than happy to help in anyway possible and help bring the best out of each other as well as encourage others to reach new heights with their art, music, gaming, and whatever someones passion is. Like many other artist, listening to music or tuning into persons stream helps some focus more or become more creative while listening to something in the background. Asking The Tank100 what sort of music she listens to while she is creating a piece or who's stream she likes to tune into she replied " Ooooooh the most hardest question ever hmmm i love listening to Faithfully by Journey !! But anything old school i guess you can say ill be listening to but if i'm not in the feeling for any music i will watch my favorite streamer @PWNYplays he is funny to watch. Always something crazy happening and he always like to talk to his chat and he likes to give support to his twitch followers and friends and he is a big destiny fan !! So always destiny". Also being curious I asked while so many incredible artists in the community who she would enjoy doing a collaborative art piece with, " Oh this one is hard cuz i could not pick one. i would love to see one big art piece done by all my friends in Art of the Traveler group cuz they are all amazing artist and we have done it where we draw all the same thing but in own style so its the same but different in their own way but to do one big piece from all of us would be sweeeet to see" she replied.
It was truly an honor having The Tank100 as this week's Community Artist Spotlight, she is a truly talented artist and incredible community member we are all so fortunate to have her and others like her here to share our community with us, making each day that much better with their positivity and inspiring art pieces. Lastly I asked The Tank100 what advice she would give to a community member that was just starting out with creating art and exploring their own creativity she replied with truly joyful smile saying " My advice to someone starting out is to never give up learn what you can and don't be afraid to try something new cuz you may find it great to learn and you may find your art style that goes with you the most. Also if someone puts you down cuz they say your work sucks or you can't do art don't listen to them cuz there is always someone out there that will see your art piece and will see something beautiful to them".
