Stop being such a Jim.

Why don't you shut up?

Worked for about 4 days on this, in 3 hour sessions.
Basically a line drawing, painted over with acrylic paints.
Share your comments, constructive criticism.
Thanks!

Proud director of Black Plasma Studios. Check us out on Youtube!

That's sweet, you did a great job with the fire and smoke. I wouldn't mind having that as a poster!

Some can come away from reading "War and Peace" thinking it a simple adventure story, while others can read the ingredients on a gum wrapper and unlock the secrets of the universe.

That would make an EPIC poster.



Even you where to try another one, might I suggest adding like a cruiser (covenant) in the back ground or high charity with its surrounding fleet or some -blam!-s?

Very nice work!

If you have the time, you should recreate the covers from each of the games. That would be really awesome.

Alright. For it's size i would have expected more detail, but you're not a pro, so i can't really compare you to one.
But you do need to improve.
No offense.

The armor could use more scratches, dents and a little more shadng, lighting, reflection e.t.c.
Basically just add more reflection to metals, more shading, better BG, maybe make it a little more painted. I dunno.
Just touch up everything with shading and make it reflect a little more of the orange-ish sky.

The actual picture and proportions seem off all over the place, but an A for effort seeing as you painted it.
