i’ve never seen anyone design anything the way the destiny franchise designs aliens, and i think the reason their alien designs are so unique and interesting is because they’re just completely unafraid of making them ugly.
other media wants their aliens and monsters to have aesthetic appeal above anything else; even if something is meant to horrify you, they want it to be good to look at. anything that makes a design unattractive past a certain point is usually left on the cutting room floor. and this is an understandable practice! humans are a very aesthetically inclined species!
but look at the aliens in destiny!

they’ve got weird stuff going on! cabal faces straight up look like a scrotum! psions are soooo egg-shaped and malnourished looking, and hive have a bad case of muppet mouth on top of looking like human skeletons with bug parts grafted on. eliksni are gangly and awkwardly shaped and in-game they are constantly hunched over.
a lot of the times (except for with the hive), these features are covered with armor and helmets, and i think that's pretty unfortunate because the base designs for these guys are so interesting to look at!!!

the same principals go for unique enemies like rhulk and nezarec. they're ugly!!! and that's the appealing part!!! rhulk's head is long and almost perfectly cylindrical and his feet can't decide if they're hooves or paws; nezarec has a face like a rotary phone and a second, vestigial thumb, as well as weirdly shaped monkey feet.
and it would be one thing if these features were presented to evoke horror -- but the thing is, i would argue, they're not. they're just presented. it's never a matter of "look how scary this thing is." even though we meet most of these aliens as enemies, their looks are allowed to just... be what they are. they don't look like that to scare us. they just look like that.
and i think that's a really fascinating lesson in monster/alien design! i love monster designs that are objectively appealing and nice to look at, but i honestly wish more media did things like this, because it makes the universe so interesting!

"Dude, I think the game is glitching and that character's files seemed to be corrupted..."
Translation on the second picture: "We are always watching you."
Based on Self-Aware Genshin Impact AU and Faceless Ayato trend.
This one took me like days and my drawing app crashing to do this, for like 10 times and at risk of losing my progress due to the tendency for the app to crash and affect the file, that I have to restore it by replaying the speedpaint video the app had made.
The language in the Mondstadt-Teyvatian script that was shown in-game, and was made into a font by StationaryCottage from Reddit.

When you get consumed by the soundtrack more than anything, and I also can’t get the idea of the golden blood in greek myth out of my head
So yeah I drew my own Vesper, I named mine Wisp

The last months have felt like a little bit of a drought for kdramas and bls. And now everything is coming out all at once. I don't have enough time to watch everything.

The newest QnA answers really answer a question I’ve been having suspicions about. It confirms that we weren’t initially supposed to see Curly before the crash which I think would’ve changed a lot of things drastically.
It takes a while to see Curly. He is kinda the only character that can truly only be judged by what he doesn’t do rather than what he does as we never explore him as a character outside his active duty scenes as Captain. If we never saw his face the first and only depiction we’d have of him is after a major perceived failure in his position. We still kinda have that but having his face humanizes him a lot comparatively.
It’s more interesting that it would’ve been so similar to the way Jimmy intentionally unpersons Anya with the guilt in his mind vs how he unintentionally does so to Curly. Through dealing with him it takes away so much of his character because we never see it not attached to Jimmy. His perceptions of him, how he reacts to his words in his presence only. It parallels how Anya tries to and Jimmy shuts her down because he doesn’t like the dynamic where the other tries to fight back, he’s not used to it.
Anyway I don’t think it would’ve added something crazy to the game if we never saw Curly pre-crash but it does add something that either way, Jimmy would’ve effectively erased who he really was physically and mentally through his avoidance of responsibility.
