Known as Spartanx5 or Levartho ( or by my real name of course). I aim to inspire the community with my art.
I really like this, the darkened lighting on the Spartans face really sets the tone for this one. Maybe I am looking into too much but it almost seems metaphorical, because the Chief really saw some of the darkest sides of that war. Even when it was finished he never saw the result of his work, the survival of humanity.
It can also be said that Spartans refuse to go towards the light, and as such they never die. Either way this has an exceptional amount of depth in it compared to other halo pieces, which often have no meaning. Much like my work which is just a representation of halo assets most of the time, it means nothing to the viewer and is only temporary eye candy. Whereas your work can linger in the minds of not just halo fans, but anyone who appreciates art. It has more life to it, and that is something that never goes unnoticed.
I would love to see this as a finalized painting, instead of being left as a speed painting. It seems you are capable of going into great detail.
