Welcome to my personal collection of Bungie and Halo-related artwork!

All of these photo manipulations were created in Adobe Photoshop with a Wacom Intuos4 tablet to perfect the pixels as much as possible. Original links and sizable wallpapers included below for your own pleasure.

If, by chance, you manage to survive the perhaps cumbersome odyssey of blue hyperlinks that is this thread, you're all more than welcome to slap on some healthy constructive criticism and ask as many questions revolving my work as you desire.

Enjoy the visual stimuli, or lack thereof.

If this is the state of my art, then I secede.

Now, just sit back and wait for the job offers...

Sick work Index. Normally I would have criticisms, but I have none. Simply amazing work man.

I agree. This guy definitely has a bright future ahead of him. My favorite has to be "Slayer".

Amazing work. Bad Cyborg is my new desktop image now.

They're all amazing. Keep up the great work.

That's awesome. What kind of effects did you apply to Guilty Spark in the "Got Milk?" image?
Just mess with the tone, hue/saturation?

Used the polygonal lasso tool to essentially cut it out in order to form a clean render, slapped it on a gradient and used some water brushes to use as the "milk" in the image. The monitor itself was darkened quite some amount with multiple layers of subtle brushwork.

In comparison to some of the others, it's a pretty simple manipulation. Was going to slap on a milk mustache in tradition of the "got milk?" advertisement campaign, but I couldn't quite obtain enough of a realistic effect in the time that I had. Oh well!

Thanks for the feedback.

Guilty pleasures...
In best interest of preserving good taste for the future of the Halo series, the original totally-not-real advertisement potentially designed for an undisclosed company whom would sell certain products was indeed scrapped. The advertisement-esque image, along with its earlier name "guilty pleasures," is no longer available. Quit giving people ideas.

Having said that, I can publicly release to the boards a small and much earlier look at what, in a completely perfect world, could have been a reality. Let the sparks fly.

...a milk mustache.
In due time, guys! A monocle and top hat, while not high priority on my list of things to do, would also be elegant additions. Going to get some wallpapers up for the current "got milk?" manipulation, first.

edit - Two more manipulations have been added under the "new" category at the very top of the original post. Below is what was recently created:

Nice, a lot of photo manipulations. The best one, I would say, would be special delivery.
