The U.E.S.C. Marathon emblem that appears on my profile was designed by me and picked by Bungie [Bungie All-Star competition] to be available for use by anyone on the Bungie forums.
"Yours to manipulate, to destroy and rebuild"

Finished a picture a month back, inspired by a concept picture of a Forerunner released by Bungie. The character is supposed to be visiting/inspecting Master Chief's ship.

The dimensions of this picture are 150cm x 70cm (60x30 inches).
I had problems taking a proper photo, so I will propably take another one later.

The work was made with charcoal, for the colors I used water soluble wooden crayons, and brushed the colors on the base before the charcoal. For the stars/space at the end of the tunnel I used waxe pastels to achieve the "star haze".

Overall it took me around 25 hours to make this.

Just thought about sharing this, open to all sorts of feedback.

Cool, but is that a forerunner on the left side of the photo? Because that's not what a forerunner looks like.

It's based on Bungie's concept art of a forerunner in combat skin.

Here is a link to the original picture:

Ok now I see it, the bright colors make it hard to see the forerunner. What is all the stuff to the left of it?

Just abstract obliteration, I don't really have an explanation to what it is, I just like to think of it as him teleporting and causing an abstract wave or something.

I guess I could remove the picture from its frames and take another photo in better lighting conditions and format a desktop background.
