@spaboolly

I thought I would share this one. Recently I've been an art kick consisting mostly of recreating figures from my favorite games. For a little challenge, I decided to do a drawing of Master Chief based on the Halo 2 box art.

Original Halo 2 art for reference

Let me know what you think. I'm not usually one for sharing my artwork, so any feedback would be appreciated. Some of it is deliberately left empty for now because I'm planning on adding color to fill in the detail.

Nice.

You should add color, it will make look way better.

Excellent copy there. The only thing that stood out to me was the top of his helmet. If you compare the two, the plane in the original art is orientated down slightly (towards the horizon) whereas yours appears to slope upwards. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing the coloured version now.

Awesome job. When you added color, be careful which ones you use. Whenever i add color to some of mine, it almost always looks better without it.

Tip:
Trace it onto some tracing paper, then color the one on the tracing paper.
(so you don't make a mistake you cant erase)

That's fantastic. Perhaps you could try the Halo 3 cover art some time if you haven't already.

  • 08.06.2012 6:04 PM PDT

I like it's pretty cool

You should go off the reservation a little and use colors different from the cover.
Also, great job!

Yeah, I couldn't get that part quite right. But I think it still looks okay unless you look closely at the original.

I intended to do the color in pastel, but I think I'll have to test that out first to see if it will look right. Maybe watercolor would look nice? I'm not sure.

Nice work there.

My only observation is that the holes on his knees, boots and hand dont look so classy.

It's a metaphor for the 07s' lack of identity. too old to be newfa­g, yet too new to be oldfa­g, we wander b.net in search of a home, forever trying to be something we are not.

Very nice. Planning on adding the color?

Presenting Master Chief from Halo 2...

Now in color!

I'll probably add the background tomorrow. I don't know exactly what it will be yet, but it will stay pretty similar to the original box art. Any suggestions (and critiques) are welcome.

  • 08.13.2012 7:41 PM PDT

What a waste....

Very good!

The helmet looks kinda weird in the bottom left corner, but w/e. It's pretty awesome.

Finally finished the background earlier.

Thanks everyone for the feedback so far.

Looks good, Cadit. I knew you liked drawing but I've never seen anything you've drawn before...or maybe I did and I don't remember. I forget these things, what with my old age and all.

You should post more stuff here.

Well... I don't really do requests. But I guess I could try it, since you asked nicely.

Very nice! It'll look great in full colour.
