Destiny 2: The Witch Queen - Gouging Light VFX
Promotional comp done by Drexler Rowe
The "Gouging Light" Sparrow is one of the new rewards debuting with The Witch Queen Raid. I wanted to create a trail that felt like the ambient "Pyramid Resonance" energy was able to transform itself in order to propel the sparrow, similar to the transformative, ever-shifting nature of the pyramid the raid is based in. I worked with Glenn Gamble in order to take elements from the Raid boss VFX that he did and convert them for use in the trail. The result is what you see here.
