I was bored thisafternoon so decided to draw up a quick ODST sketch. The image quality is terrible sorry, I took the photo with my phone.

Hell yes.

Maybe someone there will like it enough to add some colour.

But definitely get it scanned in!

Thanks guys :) It's been a while since I've drawn anything so I might start doing it more often again.

Now if only I had a scanner...

Drink up baby, stay up all night.
With the things you could do, you won't but you might.
The potential you'll be, but you'll never see.
The promises you'll only make.

Interesting drawing, if you could get it scanned, I may provide better criticism.

But mind you, by simply looking at that picture, I know there isn't much to imrpove. XD

Edit:
Took a closer look, his left and right foot seems weird. His right foot is facing towards us, while the other is facing forward.
It seems that the right foot also lacks detail when compared to the left foot.
The thighs are a little fat incomparison with the body/ arms.
The fingers seem to be very very short, and is incapable of holding the gun, this is rather obvious on the ODST's right hand.
The Spartan Laser behind it seem to be sticking out too much, and normally it's positioned vertically behind the user.

Still, impressive work. As you've mentioned yourself, this is a quick sketch, if you would take your time, I'm sure you would draw something absolutely astonishing.
There's some room for improvement. I may post better criticism if you scan it better.
And if you can't handle criticism well:
No pain no gain.

Good drawing, but the spartan laser did stick out and when i took a closer look, the fingers looked small.

I wish I was still legendary.

Looks great, other then that the fingers are directly copied off the 3d models - on which they seem to be very low-poly. Also, closest foot is on an odd angle and laser's out of proportion.

EDIT: Nice job recreating him from the screenshot 'Drop Zone'.only problem is your angle on everything except the right foot is different. spartan laser is WAY out of proportion, so is height.

Anyway...when compositing your picture over the original, it shows most of the errors. I like the picture, there's just proportion problems and it's hard to compare because the angle is slightly different. Good job though! better then anything I could do.

Composite
