Well I had entered this into the challenge for this week but apparently screen captures from cutscenes take more effort than creating your own 3D stuff and then importing it into a engine and animating everything else.
So I'm releasing it here.
Halo: Combat Evolved.
Also comes in 1900x1200 format.

After having looked up reference's for the longsword I created a 3D model, unwrapped the model and created a texture for it.
The next thing I did was imported the model into Sandbox 2 for Crysis set up the particles effects you see and set the Time of Day to night time.
I then proceeded to create a high res Halo model in which would be used as a stand in for the moon
I textured the ring using the clone tool from screenshots because I simply lack enough knowledge of painting programs to create a good enough texture and then rotated the ring to the angle you now see and rendered a image with an alpha mask.
Imported the new render into sandbox2 and overlayed it where the moon would normally be.
I then set the engine to export the image at 3900x3200 and then downscaled the output image to ensure that there was no aliasing at all.

Sweet! Where's the larger image? My laptop runs 1388x768 (bad that I memorized it eh?) so the bigger the better.

Would you like a copy with or without the logo?
