For more concept art from Bungie art director Christopher Barrett and his team, dont miss The Art Of Destiny from Titan Books: a 216-page hardback celebration of Destinys best artwork, available right now.
The Traveler was iterated upon many times before Bungie settled on its final look.

With shades of Mass Effects Citadel in its design, this was one concept for the Tower.
A fireteam tackles a Vex Gate Lord and its sprawling army.
