I love getting the sense of scale of the ship. Great work!

The Razor.

For the honour of the Mirratord.

Oh my gosh, thats absolutely brilliant! As the Ninja said above, the scale on the ship is awesome.

I love the use of stylized, concept art Marines on a slightly more photorealistic background, they go very well together. It also succeeds in giving us a sense of how epic the story of Halo: Reach will be, and how such a beautiful planet is going to fall.

Amazing work :D

Wow... Thanks guys. ^_^;; I'm honored to have a forum ninja pleased with my work, and thanks Mr Evil for actually detailing what it is you like.

It took a long time to find just the right picture for the ship, and even longer to make it fit in the picture correctly. I might be making periodic edits to it, like adding subtle shadows here and there. We'll see. For now, I'm just going to add a title to the bottom of the picture (in the black frame area.)

Now that's a compliment if I've ever seen one! Thanks, Captain. I'm glad it works.

That is gorgeous. I love the new color tones and the ship emerging from behind the mountain.

Excellent work.

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.

My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Wow. Just....wow.

Thanks, Sanders. When I do things like this I like to spice up the picture with new levels and color values so that it appears to have more depth than just a flat concept art picture.

&&random no337:: I'm assuming you're pleased..?

Thanks, Gritz. I could probably do a Spartan one with.. Carter? I don't know, but I'm sure I could do it. In fact, maybe I'll go ahead and do that. I'll put up a second link if I do it.

I'm liking the style, I can see you spent quite a bit of time on reworking the environment. A lot of artists tend to neglect the massive proportion size of the different classes of space ship constructs, you did an outstanding job scaling it and comparing it with the size of the mountain. It's hard to make a collaboration of different images believable, originally I was under the impression it was all done by you.

Excellent work putting it all together.

  • 02.25.2010 5:03 PM PDT

If you make one with carter... it will probably be a frickin MIND GERNADE! If this is amazing, one with spartans would be incredible!I love the ship back their too, its very proportioned to the rest of things. I hope to see further work from you in the forums.

Once again, good work my friend.

Well, that's the goal in mind when I do these kind of things. Make it all look like it was supposed to be there. I'm glad that I was able to achieve it. I actually spent some time trying to find the right size picture of the right ship for it, and even more time trying to find one the right angle. I'm relieved that that portion of the image is recognized for what it is.

@Gritz: I'm working on a Carter version right now, just for you. I'll put your name in the credits as an inspiration for it. Also, I did post one other work on the forums here. Here's a link to it.

When I die please bury me deep!
Place an MA5 down by my feet!Don't cry for me, don't shed no tear!
Just pack my box with PT gear!
'Cuz one early morning 'bout zero-five!
The ground will rumble, there'll be lightning in the sky!
Don't you worry, don't come undone!It's just my ghost on a PT run!

simply amazing

Really nice, if you can post one that dosen't have the black box then I'd use it as my wallpaper on computer

This is really an awesome piece; I'm just loving the overall lighting Great Job!

Thank you to everyone. On a side note, the lighting is one of the strong points in the piece, I think. I made sure to spend a good amount of time on it.

Eh, it seems unlike everyone else I didn't like this as much.

the actual layout was a bit busy, with a forerunner structure, a ship in the background, something in the atmosphere, and the two guys walking.

Felt very hodge podge to me. On the other hand you have a good talent of blending everything, and you could do a great piece, just I personally didn't love this one.

I feel, Virus, that you have sought to create things wrong with the piece rather than actually state what could be improved. Thank you for your comments on my supposed talent, but it isn't my problem if you fail to see the actual quality of the piece. Everything is in there for a reason, and if it seems busy it's because it's supposed to. Mobilization is a chaotic and busy thing, which the image depicts nicely. Also, that isn't a Forerunner structure, it's human in design.

Thanks for your attempt at a valuable comment.
