Rian is the veteran in the Herald office. He possesses a vast amount of knowledge in making custom graphics, especially weapon graphics. He produces so much work just by himself that it almost feels bad to ask him to do more. He has single-handedly kept the weapons request queue on Trello down and prevented the office from being overwhelmed. Aside from being a literal weapons factory he also helped instruct the newly hired Magistrates and me, providing step-by-step tutorials, guidance, and quality control on custom weapon graphics. He also assisted with getting me more familiar with the tasks the Herald is responsible for, how the mailing list works, and sharing some very good ideas.
It has only been 5 months since he was last rewarded, but in that short amount of time, he has created a staggering 131! graphics, consisting of 6 unique weapons, for May the 4th. This was all on his initiative. Meanwhile, he held the fort and created 7 completely custom lightsaber hilts, and eliminated the seemingly endless queue of requests. At the same time, he helped approve many art competitions and avatars.
I am fairly certain that there are things I might have missed, that he helps within the background, so many smaller and larger projects that happen behind the scenes. Without Rian, we wouldn't nearly have as many toys and they would certainly not look nearly as good as they do now. Hopefully, this reward will at least keep track of some of the things he does for this community because we are very very thankful to have him.
