Ok so, since this and Halomods is the only Halo related forum account I have, I will post here some of my Fan Art with Halo. I know this is a forum mainly for mods but I thought this will do no harm...

I have for now just one picture with a Mark IV. I know it has many mistakes but I hope you like it.All this was made with a HB 1.0 pencil and no eraser (Time spent:around 10-12 Hours)



Any other picture with you own art is very welcomed and ofc. criticism.

Amazing detail keep up the good work!

Just gonna leave these here.




I suppose this is cheating because I made these a while ago but I might as well upload them. Question; Are you one of the lead artists in Project Venerance, because that Spartan strongly resembles the MkIV they made.

The asnwer to that question is No. I do not work with the team Venerance or any other and they just added some of their own detail to the Mark IV... the same thing that I did. I do these kind of drawings just because.. well, I like to draw.
klasher1000 thanks :D.
Nice pictures Btw.

Those pencil skills. Wow, they're good.

also with the red vs blue image, I guess you could say that Master Chief's all 'Washed" up!







GEDDIT?!

That is incredible. Would you be willing to do concept art for an actual mod? I don't have anything in particular in mind right now, but that is an area that (in my opinion) this community is really lacking.

Red Vs Blue jokes?

Yoda. Why not. the summer is coming so this means i will have plenty of free time. Also I am working on a new drawing, if you would like i could post updates on it. :D

F. Art

Me so proud of my brother!

Cool. We need more people capable of making good concept art/reference material for custom assets and such.

I'd definitely be interested in seeing you new drawing.

In case you didn't read the last few messages, it's gone from fan art toward art design of halo custom edition assets. Therefore it is relevant for these forums and shouldn't need to be locked IMO.

Fair nuff

I would argue that this is much more on topic than fan fiction because concept art is a vital (and often overlooked) aspect of game development/modding.

Maybe the thread should be titled Concept Art instead of Fan art in order to appear more on-topic, but either way I hope it doesn't get locked.

Very well then, if i knew how to change the title I would do just that.Right now, I can not make concept art for mods as no one took me in a team. I thought it will be ok to present some of my work, but if this is not allowed , then you can lock it :\ .

As long as it stays civil it won't.

I don't think anyone is upset that you posted your work. That is how you get a spot on teams or how you start teams (by showing your own work).

I'm interested to see more of your drawings.

My brother's been a fan of Halo since always and your positive feedback means alot ! Thank you !

Almost perfect.

the visor's reflection is off/inverted, it should curve outward and not straight down.
the pelvis is extremely small, he must've broke it at a young age.
the pelvis is also too far forward, making it look a tad off-balance.
the hands are really massive; they can consume the whole helmet.
the knees are too far back, those pads must be implanted.
the back leg is shorter than the front by a little.
the back leg has an unnatural bulge on the thigh.
the torso is much too large.
the back arm is thicker than the front arm. the shoulder pad I think is intentional.
the pieces that rest beside the neck are uneven; the forward one should be closer to the neck and extends further than the back.
the front hand's thumb is at an unnatural angle, making it look broken or really tense.
the fingers should be an extra knuckle longer than the thumbs.
the far side of the torso plate gets larger as it goes back instead of shorter, using the forward piece as a reference.


aside from perspective/anatomical issues, your lighting is kind of hard to define; the shadow on the leg/arm is the only point of reference as to where the light is.
you also forego the 3d aspect in terms of drawing detail, evident by the hexagonal patterns.
the pose is very stiff and unnatural, try drawing with more bent joints/relaxed spine.

edit: here's an elite doodle, I guess. broken spines and wobbly swords ftw

That doodle is better than anything I have ever attempted. A stickman will draw the life out of me.

Omg so many mistakes I didn't even see. You have an art degree or something? Wow. Anyway I draw since I was a kid and never attended lessons, these are just skills taken from different people I saw. If you could teach me to perfectionate my drawings this will be amazing.

After your critism I'm ashamed to even look at my next drawing :)).

Learn from criticism and improve, but don't be ashamed of your drawings. I wish I could draw as well as you do.

If you start doing concept/reference drawings than your pose was perfect. Drawings like the sketch master noob posted are worthless for reference material in my opinion (because of the crazy pose).

If I was planning to model the character that you drew, the only problem I would have is the lack of feet.

I get the same feeling often, but try reworking your drawings often until no more mistakes are visible. it's ok to make a full piece, only to erase something and go back on it several times. the end result is almost always worth it.

I was going to post some witty "cieling fan" art but Google Images came up short

Yoda thanks for the kind words and Master Noob I usually do that but seems like there are still lots of mistakes. I'll try my best to perfectionate them.

My next drawing:


I'll post updates on it every time I consider it's worth showing

First one looks better. This new one you drew needs a lot of work.

Also, here are some of my work.

Elite head. Yeah I know I need to fix it so the teeth aren't so popping out, and the also fix the gum shadings. I also used no references.



Flood Master Chief. I didn't finish him... Got bored of it. Did this under a few hours. I still needed to finish lighting, shadows, details, and other arm. I used some references on this one.



If you guys want, I might finish him up. I usually don't finish most my work.

The new drawing is not even... 20% finished, and I am aware that it needs a lot of work.

Your drawings are Amazing, I really like the style of them and PLEASE finish Flood Master Chief.

Damn bro ! That's some Vincent Van Gogh work right there !

So I have just created the strongest enemy that the UNSC could have ever faced.

I call it.... The Covenantcovenant!
And yes i understand that it was cheaply drawn. I wasn't trying.

Someone needs to model this, but with two jackal shields on the calfs and another one protecting the grunt stomach and "prophet chin"

I hate how my work gets so little comments or critiques.
Also thanks Xtralaos and DoberDan.
I think it would be pretty cool and funny seeing this guy ingame charging at you. XD

OK... messages were deleted because a few people just couldn't help but respond to the spammer. Responding to a spammer is WORSE than the spammer himself.

This thread is now back on topic.

"Responding to a spammer is WORSE than the spammer himself."
You say that, but I was on my iPod and didn't see he had done it to every forum. We are not worse, you do us an injustice saying that.

Keep the pics coming, they are great!

I'm not a good Critiquer, I can't even see a mistake in your drawing but I think that's because your new drawing is a creation, a Mix of covenant , so it does not really matter.

-I like how you created your monster with a weak point, that being the belly and the "prophet chin".
-Also, This being a massive monster, it is a bit weird to see a tank of around ...3-3.5 m with tiny hands. It doesn't really fit. Just imagine this monstruosity ingame, he is charging at you to attack you with what? a plasma riffle and his feet?
-IMO I think it would be better to add a new set of Hands so he will have 4 and carry 3 weapons. OR you can erase the elite hand and add a brute one to carry a bigger weapon.
-The shield is too tiny, if this is a creation coming from the Covenant, I think they could have created a bigger shield for him. With that, he can not protect his 2 weak points at the same time. Belly/Prophet Chin and Head.
-You could have made the drone wings a lil' bit bigger, because with those he can't even get 2 cm in the air.Make them something like x1.5 from what is so he can be able to at least stand in the air like the covenant vehicle *Ghost*. But this is just a matter of choice.

I have 2 questions: Why did you put a Prophet Chin right over there?
Isn't the grunt stomach too weak to sustain all those killos?
