His visor should not be reflecting what's behind him. Ever.

You're so fired.


Its an epic artistic visualisation of the MC

think of it this way, 2 cameras, one close up on the MC's Visor, the other starring out at the forerunner structure.

Lol. I just noticed that.

Those my friend, are by far the best fanmade covers I've seen yet. Except the reflection on his visor being what's behind him and that the same scene is on the regular cover like three times.
8/10!

the front of the regular one sucks but i like the back and make the special edition one either platnum or silver cuz you make it look like the elder scrolls 3 box

“We are the Mirratord. We strike with speed and stealth. Our enemies will not see their deaths. They will not know their fate. In darkness, we will see light. In light, we will see darkness. No matter the location, we will see victory. If we fail, no one will know. Like a ghost, our presence is a mystery. For the honor of the Mirratord" Join the Mirratord here

i like them both, especially the color scheme on the Limited Collectors Edition the best., although you could edit the first one a little, i dont think its crowded, but its kinda hard to see whats behind him.

Join my group:

Halo 3 Multiplayer Group

The main aim of this group is to express our ideas on how to improve Halo multiplayer in the next game.

1) NO LOCKING ANY THREADS
2) No more searching through pages and pages to see if your topic has already been discussed
3) Stickies are updated as more ideas flow in, so you dont have to read a whole thread, just read the top post!

The regular I like a lot better than the collectors edition. Nice job on both, though!

Give a man a fish, feed him for a day.
Teach a man to fish, feed him for a lifetime.
Teach a man religion, and he will starve to death praying for a fish.

Do yo honestly have that much time on your hands? Buddy, I hate to tell ya, but you seriously need to get laid. But they do look pretty decent.

I like both of them. As other people have said the first one is a bit crowded, but you obviously spent a lot of time on them so good job. The collectors edition one is the best of the two in my opinion.

The Collector's Edition was amazing. The Halo 3 Cover was the best I've seen so far.

OK, yes, it is very true that I'm a dumb ass. I'm not denying that. However, isn't the whole point of a beta to increase the amount of users until you get someone dumb enough to try something you haven't anticipated.

i thought both of them looked very good and it doesn't seem cluttered to me

Very good, the best ive seen. As a test, I got one of my Xbox game boxes, took out the cover, printed this out, and put this into it. then i used my lightscribe burner to make a DVD look like the Halo 3 Disc (using part of the regular cover) and it worked...I showed it to my friends and they actually thought I had Halo 3...theyre really not involved in this site much. So, again, very good job. this is very believable.

very good work man,

how did you upload your image? I would like to upload mine as well and see what people think, but it is a big file ( 4 MB).

Any help would be appreciated!

You're so fired.

Yeah I was just gonna say that.


my thoughts exactly, too.



I'm trying to make the cover look epic, not make sense.


I was going to leave this alone, but your response irritates the hell out of me.

I'm speaking as someone who works for Bungie. Someone who has helped in the creation of box art before.

If you were being paid to do graphic design, and you submitted that cover to us, you'd be turned back.

And if you tried to explain that you're trying to make the cover "look epic, not make sense," you'd be fired.

You can make a piece look "epic," without disregarding continuity. You disregarded continuity twice; on the back of the box as well as the front. You didn't even manage to obscure the artifact on the back of the box, so it appears he's looking at a completely different artifact adjacent to the one that's behind him. Say what you like, your discontinuity is the result of low standards and a lack of attention, not "artistic license."

Further, your copy on the back of the box has multiple hyphenated words and a widow. You'd be sent back to the drawing board for that, as well.

I would have accepted "There are only limited assets available to work with, I had no choice" as an explaination for why you didn't use a better asset. Trying to imply that you would intentionally ignore continuity because "you're an artist" is asking for trouble, and admitting you don't know what you're doing.

Out of all posts i appreciate this one the most. I did not mean to show an impression of lazyness. so in this case i'll go back to the drawing board and make a new one as well as try to make it 10x's better, expect another post in 2 days. Thank you for the motivational critisism. I hope to one day be in those offices too, Shishka.

I really like the second. :) A gold case, (as opposed to H2's silver/metallic) would be awesome.
