Even before I got to play Halo Reach I knew I wanted to create a wallpaper with the main theme being sacrifice, so this project was a lot of fun to pursue.
Overall, this took about 2 hours using Photoshop CS5.
Constructive criticism is always appreciated!
Let me know what you think!

Emile looks a little bit too dark, but I like it. If you could you should add a covenant ship glassing so burning landscape behind him. (and then do lighting on Emile to make him look like he is almost right next to the fire)

i was thinking this aswell but rather than more doom, maybe a light at the end of the tunnel sort of thing? Add some hope to an otherwise bleak image

this is a great picture, with a strong bite of foreshadowing and a bit of curiosity

I wish I would have seen your posts before I spent so much time making the new version! lol
Those were great ideas guys, maybe if I find the time I'll try them out. Thank you for the opinions.

:)

OP updated with the newer version.

for your 'beacon of hope idea' A small marine squad in the distance with ARs and flashlights on, seeming to be searching for something. I really like what you did though, and I just got a new background! My only criticism is that the background is too plain. A glassing or my previous idea would complement it perfectly, in my opinion.
