Subject: [ART] Ryst's Halo Fanart

Ryst-- doublethumbs and toothy mandibles-- your alien pal who's fun to be with!

Hey all! I've been quiet for awhile, mostly due to college and just assorted stuff from IRL keeping me busy. But the fact of the matter is I have missed the Halo community and want to kind of get my foot in the door and start participating again, since the Halo universe and community as a whole have been so inspiring to me.

Anyways I draw a lot, so I'll just post a few highlights for now.

FINISHED PIECES

I think that's a good enough start; hopefully this entertained some people! I might come back and post more as I draw it if people are interested. Thanks for looking~

I don't see you doing anything to help our country.
Except sitting at home, naked, eating twinkies, rubbing your hands together going "Heh. Target Destroyed. Mission Accomplished." Oh wait. that's not helping.

They're good..but they disturb me.

I at the moment do not have enough time to view every single piece, but I did view one of each section and I must say; I love the creativity that you put into this!

The paintings are a bit strange, but nice concepts.

On December 1st, 2012, I met Neil deGrasse Tyson. I shook the man's hand, and even made him laugh. Not much else to do with my life now.

@blade246 - Thank you, I appreciate it!
@Halo biggest fan - Yeah, understand this type of thing isn't for everyone, that these are a bit more "cutesy" than some people are expecting from such the fanbase of a shooter.
@M94 Mushroom Man - Thanks, I had a lot of fun drawing both of those, haha. I like drawing goofy things, not everything has to be SUPER SERIOUS all the time.

At everyone else--sorry it's not to your liking! Turn your head and cough, I'm not shoving this down anyone's throat and demanding that you like it. You're entitled to your opinions, it's just not going to discourage me from drawing what I enjoy.

I really enjoyed the finished pieces (Except with the Elite dressed like a human, too creepy o.O).

EDIT: I just finished looking through the sketches. Out of every pic here, Sketch 01 would be my favorite. There's something so striking about it too me.

Also, why do all the unhelmeted elites have glasses? Oh and, do you really like Elites? Because you make some of them seem very feminine.

The Elite wearing glasses is one of my characters. So it's not a multitude of them, it's an individual. And--it's a she. Which is why she does, in fact, seem feminine. Since we've been told that Elites are saurian, I try to keep gender differences to a minimum when drawing them--no breasts, no hair, etc. I just draw male Elites as being bigger, taller, and more muscled than the females. They have slightly difference facial structures, too, but that's something I'm still learning to depict so it's not as apparent here.

Ok. That's what I thought. I had a feeling they were the same characters. Well, the subtleness fits very well. What made you draw Finished Pic 02 though? That one leaps out at me as very strange.

Haha, yeah. That one seems to be what's giving most people a hard time. It was a picture for my boyfriend, basically (I'm a girl in case you were wondering, just don't like broadcasting that fact because I don't think it really... matters). It's just our two-ingame characters (his Spartan, my Elite) enjoying each other's company.

Ok. Well, that clears up lots of things for me. It's not often there is a female Halo fan drawing Halo pictures.

I really appreciate your detail to given canon on Elites, and applaud you for taking Halo art to where it hasn't been taken to before. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to see more of your work!

Haha yeah, mayyybe shoulda cleared that up earlier, some people probably got... other ideas haha. Oh well, I don't really care so much. Thank you for your kind words and for being open-minded! ' v '

Sorry it took me so long to write a reply.

Anyway, I always try to keep an open mind and be tolerant of all things. Your boyfriend must be a lucky guy if your willing to express your relationship through pictures based off of the bloodiest battle in fictional human history on a forum where people expect violence and gore.

Do you know what kind of hat I'm wearing?

A party hat; you don't get one. An honor will this party be, a party in your honor, for your honor. Some of Tfear's personal guards are going to be there. You'll be introduced shortly.

Prepare to die.

Is that a dick mounted turret? That doesn't seem very practical.
That guy is obviously overcompensating something.

If you read the discussion between me and Ryst, you would clearly understand "that guy" is actually a girl. Those pictures of the Elite in human clothes are just pictures of her Elite character from Reach in her place from what I understand.

Ok, now that I have had a chance to view all of your screenshots, I have a similair opinion as the other users who have also viewed your gallery. They are indeed a bit strange, but nonetheless are great drawings with much detail. So besides the the strangness included in your gallery, the screenshots themselves are great. Nice work.
