"Find The Bomb?!
Find The Bomb?!
I'm Looking For The Flag!
What The Heck Is Assualt!?"

This is a light sketch I did of the Halo 3 box art.

No it isn't finished, but the story behind it is this.

In my private group the SSO there was a group contest for recreation of box art, the winner won microsoft points, so of course I thought, "I'll use my artistic talent to grab me some free cash"

And so I got to work, I go to about here and then checked out the other people in the contest's submissions. The contest was for the Assassin's creed box art, now I had an unfinished sheet of paper that I was going to go through quickly in a few minutes, but it was pointless and I didn't feel like doing the assassin's creed one because generally I think it has ugly box art.

And so here is my half finished sketch. I may finish it for the gallery though. Oh and the graininess is because of my scanner.

Would it help if I told you halo pictures aren't hard at all to do?

I have no attention span at all.
Which is why I'm good at short stories

Obviously you have an attention span to write as much... unless it is very bad...

I would submit my stories to here, but it only takes halo content

I know, and that annoys me, I don't even read fan fics.

Wolver died inside didn't he?

Well, I get away with not reading them by saying I can't read, its gotten me out of a few nags from mr. fan fic who can't think of a semi-original idea!

yes, that is a challenge, your original story better be epic.

It's in the SSO
no one read it yet though
I really might throw
A fit you may know
For wolvers is praised by all
But something that would hardly stall
me from life
and would cause me strife

Hmm, ok...

I'll get to it later, I don't really read fan fictions so I probably won't read more than the first and last part and then give some criticism on the writing

Well, yeah I'm writing an original story on the side, but remember that this is the Gallery forum. Discuss things like this in PM.

In my opinions, fan fiction is a wonderful way to iron out one's faults and weaknesses as a writer.

How so? Having an established universe allows you to focus purely on the technical side of writing for the most part. For example, the early parts of Memoirs of an ODST were terrible, whilst the new ones are a lot better.

But, once again, we are getting off topic.

Indeed it does help with the technicality, though it does not necessarily help on the plot, story and premise part, although writing does normally help these, but rather thinking about it.

Also I find people who write fanatic fictions usually condense the events in that they want to say as much as possible in a short chapter.

I try to take time with my fan fictions, and lead up to the main plot. Each chapter usually equates to about four or more pages.

And you have to remember that some people just don't wish to commit to the stress and hardship that is writing an original novel, especially when they are young. For example, if I really wanted to, I could probably make a 200+ page book out of the Ascendancy idea, but it would take a lot of time, and it would be pressuring. I've also got GSCEs and the like to do. So I write fan fiction, which requires a little thought, but not insane amounts of it. Once I'm older, more experienced, and ready, I'll probably tackle writing a book, and perhaps try and get it published.

And so that's the reason I write fan fiction; it allows me to practice and express my creativity without dominating my time and thoughts. It's also pretty fun. So you can bash the practice all you want Buggy, but you shan't sway my opinion.

You might want to fix the left protrusion of his helmet (our left, his right). It is a little too triangular. But otherwise it is really good.

At Wolver

I've never bashed people writing fanatic fiction (well maybe once) I've just stated I don't care for them, but if it will get people writing, be my guest.

At TW

That's actually what it looks like on the box I believe, though I think it will look better once shaded.
