Oh no! I hope you are doing better! 💕

My “Spartan” had to return to duty the night after this run, so it may be months if not a year until we can jump in again as a full fireteam. In this one, we even get a dev insight on in-fiction ordnance. Also… despite the commentary we were having a *ton* of fun. www.twitch.tv/videos/28372...

Former colleagues used to tease I birthed Spartans. Coincidentally, during Army BCT, my son got assigned to a platoon nicknamed “Spartans”! The surprise visit two weeks ago was perfect timing for the 4 of us to jump into Campaign Evolved. I saved highlights: www.twitch.tv/videos/28364...

We were pretty happy to go out and get donuts!

My usually up late daughter poked at me and said it was 1:30 in the morning and that she was going to bed. 😳 Oops! Truly! Time flies when you’re having fun! (Of course this old gal jumped in solo on Heroic! Reserving the Legendary run with the hubby just like ol times!) #halo25

Got Excision done for the first time. That was really fun. But that cutscene…! I was both dreading watching it happen (oh my heart!) but also happy I finally got to see it — and hear my Guardian speak. 😊

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Here is one way I look at it… we used to have only what came in the box, on that one disc. Thousands of hours of gameplay available without the need to rush, discover at your own pace. Has an online game ever recovered from a “last update”? If not.. why can’t we rally for this one? #destinythegame

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Of this playlist, The Great Unknown really really takes me back. Remembrance will always make me think of Ghost giving that pep talk after the Khvostov quest. View from Orbit is all encompassing. Good feels, all of it!

I, for one, did not expect “THAT”(and in all caps even) to be in front of my name in this announcement. I am gobsmacked humbled. Thank you! It was a lotta fun to revisit with John-117, and I hope the team and community enjoy the piece. #halofest2026 www.halowaypoint.com/news/halo-fe...

Halo Fest – Featured Artists (June Update)

<p>Welcome back Halo fans! We’re officially less than 6 months away from Halo Fest and the excitement is most certainly in the air! Today we’ve got some more exciting news to share but as usual let’s ...

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

I have been enjoying catching up on my Destiny 2 campaigns and the trains in Edge of Fate reminded me of the El trains of 80’s Chicago. Then my brother just showed me this image. Guys… Ravenswood was my home stop. I am shook and deeply touched, even if just a coincidence…

Kishiro is awesome. Konoko’s game model was made by Alex Okita of Bungie West. Ghost in the Shell was cited by the team as an influence. The style I ended up using for marketing and in-game art was an amalgamation of the game model and my illustrative style with heavy anime influence. 😊

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 20/06/2026

It helps when the one who created this character is married to a Pinay (who was also on the dev team) 😎

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Today’s vibes… Listening to the Starfield soundtrack and having the CE artbook on a slideshow on one monitor while finishing off an illustration on another. I miiight just finish today! 😄 #gaming #starfield #bethesda

The cobbled home gave me opportunity to build the retired couple a home at the proper scale. It was such a fun endeavor! The contest organizers awarded me a First Place standing. Grateful for the opportunity and happy for the delighted messages received from visitors! #tesonline

Oversized chairs with reading and knitting materials for the retired couple.

Having built the space early in February, the sleeping space has a romantic Valentine or Heart’s Day feel. The trophies adorn the mantle above the custom fireplace.

If I include a Mrs. Potatohead, I felt they needed a house too…

The simple stand-alone structure was carefully built to match the large scale of the cobbled characters.

Walking around, even the fireplace and chimney are perfectly aligned.

But if I was going to include a Mr. Potatohead, there ought to be a Mrs. Potatohead….

Mrs. Potatohead holds back a gleeful chuckle at the tableau at the front yard.

It was for a potato-themed guild, so I felt compelled to include a Mr. Potatohead…

Mr. Potatohead, a retired RPS Champion shows the young upstart Orc how it’s done.✅

I swear, I was ONLY on PS *just* to tour houses. But noooo… So, I got an Orc Head Statue and the contest was to decorate it. With absolutely limited resources, this random idea was born. Chuckle-worthy, I thought. At least I hope you think so?

A duel of epic proportions. Rock. Paper. Scissors!

Oh! Cannot forget… Eddie Smith worked on this too.

I am not familiar with the distribution range of the magnet. But fwicr, magnets had a separate regulatory guideline so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were only available locally. The actual map pack should have been available wherever the original H2 was sold though.

From @tns22.bsky.social, wishing to be able to see the scribbles a little more clearly. Here are a couple of images.

132

Yep. And in games that switch 3rd to 1st, I look for the toggle to turn it off. 😊

@reylokito and @elmore.zone I also have that magnet! Fun fact, that emboss was done by a local printer, Leatherback, who we eventually worked with directly for Destiny stuff. 😊

131

From @tns22.bsky.social Thank you! We fondly referred to him as the Tamtenator — I remembered AFTER the stream. Accompanied by a facepalm. 😊

From @JuraalPlays at 24:27 timestamp, while I talking about the cover and Oddball. That was actually in Redmond, the old Millennium Plaza next to a bog. The design pass of the Autumn was in Chicago, before the acquisition.

So Bertone had wanted to include head-bobs in 1stP view for ODST. And tested it on me. Well, I was knocked out for an hour after two minutes of play on the build he was planning to check in. Lol. So he put in a bob slider. But I think that eventually got cut? (Also, Hi Brendan!👋)

140

From @straycatalyst.bsky.social FPV in some games gave me severe motion sickness. But Halo:CE was good and optimized for the OG Xbox and I played that a lot, even completed it on Legendary with the hubby. Halo 2, though…😵

I saw that there were questions in chat I did not get to answer. I will reply here.

Ack. Watching how I can ramble. Misspeak. Forget names. Terminologies. 😵‍💫 Thanks to Nic for being a great host. 😊 I am north of 55 now. Grateful for the experiences and the opportunity to share the lived experience of that truly unique time.

But thanks to you this happened at all! 💕😊

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

Aaa! We actually covered Halo: Combat Evolved. We’ll have to reconvene for H2! 😊 Fun!

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Thank YOU! 💕💕 Same! I had fun. Definitely open to doing another. 😊

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

We’ll be doing it live! Come over and say hello! This Wednesday, 10/22, noon PST. 😊

We then have Ryan Klaverweide, Garrett Morlan, Elliott Gray, John Stvan, Zoe Brookes and myself further refining and using the source art, often adding and rearranging them to suit what is needed. To hazard a guess, this final arrangement could have been done by Garrett, Ryan or Elliott.

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

This is hard to pinpoint. Joe Cross, Jesse van Dijk, Chris Barrett, Mark Goldsworthy were among the primary drivers of Destiny’s early look and feel. Then the Visual ID and Design team would riff off those to create new pieces.

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 20/09/2025

Went in a road trip and was away from home for 30 days. Now my mailbox is…overflowing. If you sent me mail, very sorry, maybe I might see it next month. 😵‍💫

Escapism. Whoever laid out this stream beyond the usual paths. Thank you. I dwelled here for a few minutes in peace.

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 04/06/2025

Well, this is a nice change of pace! #fallout #fallout76 Thanks @bethesdastudios.com ! And I mean that seriously.

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 12/05/2025

First, thank you for asking. However, I always feel awkward in these situations. Neither you nor I own this IP, and because my work may be considered “official,” I have to decline. Plenty of talented folks out there who will probably be an even better fit for your project though!

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 04/05/2025

I made this on iMovie a while ago, rediscovered it this week and finally made a thumbnail to put it up on my YT. 😅 If you got 30 seconds…? Take a look? Thank you very much! #tesonline #eso youtu.be/eDM65tV9Ukc?...

Burnaroos, Newgard and I really wanted to do something about the fallen Brutes and Jackals, but we never found the opportunity while I was there. Maybe it’s happened since!

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 29/04/2025

Yep! I arrived in 1998 when Bungie was already in the Ontario Street building.

mehve @mehve.bsky.social · 27/04/2025

Thank you! This was my first full product project-- Illustration, marketing, packaging design, and production design. Completely different genre from Oni that I was also working on at the time. Fun times!
