Destiny 2 has been out now for a long time. Since the game was released in 2017, Bungie has expanded the world by introducing new and exotic locales, such as the Dreaming City. With each of these locations come unusual flora, such as Baryon Bough.
Baryon Bough is a type of ethereal substance found in the Dreaming City in Destiny 2. The tree-looking resource serves a purpose to Guardians journeying through the location. Players can harvest Baryon Bough and exchange it for different items, such as Tincture of Queensfoil. Besides its usefulness to players, it looks aesthetically pleasing. Recently, one artistic fan decided to recreate the beautiful tree in real life.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as dannym1231 revealed a new piece of art they created. According to the creator, they decided to recreate a Baryon Bough from Destiny 2 for their fiance. One of the highlights was the artist's accurate recreation of the spindly branches of the tree. In addition, they used a dodecahedron for the vase of the ethereal plant. Furthermore, the design featured many purple-tinted lights to make it appear as though the tree was glowing.
Besides showing off the Baryon Bough, danny1231 revealed some of the details behind the creation of the art piece. According to the artist, they found most of the materials for the design on Amazon. In order to make the structure of the tree, they watched a video on YouTube detailing how to build tree wire. After making the tree, they then wrapped Fairy Lights around the branches. They then filled a dodecahedron with gravel and mixed the extra lights into the vase. Once they placed the tree inside the dodecahedron, they put purple pebbles on top to finish the look. When everything had been completed, the entire process took roughly 2 hours.
This real-world recreation of a Baryon Bough has caught the attention of numerous members of the Destiny 2 community on Reddit. With over 3,300 upvotes in only a day, gamers were impressed with the resemblance of the tree to the one found in-game. Some thought the purple lighting of the tree gave the room a “Dreaming City mood,” while others wondered what the reaction of the artist’s fiance was. Danny1231 responded, “she absolutely loved it!”
This is just one of many pieces of artwork created by Destiny 2 fans. Recently, another fan designed a Ghost in Blender, a 3D computer graphics software. With an abundance of passionate fans comprising the Destiny 2 fanbase, it will be interesting to see what kinds of creations gamers, such as danny1231, come up with next.
Destiny 2 is available for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
