Woo! I'm finally done with it, there were three stages that had to be completed, first of:

1.Shapes
2.Colors
3.Shadows/Highlights

After all these phases, and two days of work. This is what it comes out!

This is a computer-drawn and computer-colored vector image that I made representing the EGM Halo 2 cover art that was drawn by Craig Mullins.

Please leave your feedback! I really want to know what you think of it. If the feedback is good enough, I'll also make a wallpaper out of this :)

The image: Vector MC

I'am also an artist, and it's hard to believe this is completely hand drawn. Each of the lines are almost perfect, and the exact shape of the origional image. I don't understand how this could be hand. It looks like you simply used a filter, and added your own gradients. I don't know, but if it really is hand drawn good job.

And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

You might of thought I meant handrawn with a pencil, I drew it on the computer with a mouse, by hand... movements... So yeah your right, it's not drawn with a pencil, but it's drawn with a mouse.

And noooooo, trust me it's not a filter, I've only seen one filter that does something like this, and that's Corel vector or something, but that usually winds up looking terrible.

But if that still dosen't satisfy the non-believers, I'm sorry.

Okay much better lol, that's what I thought. I also do alot of computer work so it's easy for me to recognize that. I do alot of hand drawn(Pencil) stuff as well, I plan on posting some of my stuff soon.

By the way, you might want to change your choice of words.
Using Hand drawn as Pencil drawn, and computer drawn as the obvious.

Compared to the other stuff littering the boards, it is very good.

The only thing I would reccomend is the gunfire part. A slight change would help a lot.

Yeah, that was just for the image, I'm going to make a wallpaper with that image in it, although I will make a completely new and much better looking muzzle flash.

I'll photoshop the muzzle flash, and I might add some cool looking effects to the MC.

So no worries, just be on the lookout for a thread with the word wallpaper sometime today.

Thanks, but like I said, don't worry about the muzzle flash! Whenever I make the wallpaper for this it will be a better muzzle flash...
