Eh, the background blur makes it a little awkward. i think the closest tank to master cheif should be the least blurred, same with the worthog. The other 2 tanks in the far end should be blurred the most. there should be more dust around the tanks and worthog. but i understand, you didnt have enough time to add in some other stuff you wanted. i think that would be cool tho. but thats just me. :)

Master cheif looks truly amazing. everything seems to be so well detailed. his armor really blends in with the desert. Honesty...all of your work as inspired me to be a graphic designer and hopefully i'll be able to work with bungie one day in the future bc i have some good ideas in mind... :)

sad to see you go :( good luck with whatever you are doing in the future.

and thanks for the inspiration as an artist :)

Thank you for everything Zoe. After a long day at work (Gamestop) where I am a store manager, my day has been filled with kids crying and angry moms and pimply 35 yr olds that ask too many questions, I get to come home to great things, my gf and of course my number 1.5 (because halo runs so close to number one sometimes) AN AWESOME PIC OF A BATTLE DAMAGED CAMO MC. You are truly the BUNGIE GODDESS!!! WE LOVE YOU ZOE!!!

I honestly have to say, this is such a great picture, it is truly amazing. Good luck Zoe, you deserve much more than helping make video games for such hopless losers and zealots as we.

Your art is amazing Zoe. So much so that I went to kinkos with a disk and had them print a 45x17" (basically printing actual size of the wide version) poster of this for my wall. It's uber-sweet, can't wait to see your other work.

Loving the blurring effect, makes the MC look powerful and focused among the chaos of war. It looks photorealistic, like it was taken with a camera on a slow shutter speed (i.e. closer objects are blurred more, objects in the distance blur less...NoFear23, the blur Zoe used was a motion blur, intended to imply speed and movement vs. a blur caused from focusing on a close object with a camera lens you are implying).

Again, truely great work. I don't expect her to answer but I was just wondering what she used to render the scene. I would think 3dsMax, but possibly Maya. Just curious.

I LOVE THE PIC ITS MY DESKTOP WALLPAPER. Looking at it every day before I go to school gives me some small hope that I will truly find a purpose in my sad, sad, gaming life
