Yeah, he tends to win things involving photoshop. There's a lot of natural ability involved, but he also puts a lot of time into his creations. Dangerous combo.

because if seeing is believing,
then believe that we have lost our eyes

I thought the top right one on the honorable mentions should have won. That one is SiK!

The winners faceplates weren't that good as far as I'm concerned, I was surprised to see them win there were way better faceplates.

Agreed. I definitly saw some better ones than the ones that won. I was really surprised when I saw the zanzibar picture in the list of honorable mentions (Top left). Isn't that just a screenshot of zanzibar? To me it doesn't look like the creator did much editing, if any, and just seems boaring to me. Sorry to whoever created it, but am I missing something?

I think some of those faceplates look better then the one that Bungie created.

I do think that the two winners are the best ones (regarding the honorable mentions).

I especially like the Rocket Launcher one. MAN that one is badass.

And yeah most of them are better than Bungie's official Halo faceplate.

The Forerunner machinery one was good, as well. Whoever made it clearly has no life. Who was the prick who made that one, again?

Seriously. Nice job.

Hey guys, thanks to all of you who liked my faceplate design. I went ahead and posted some pictures over at halo.bungie.org if you'd like to take a look at Bungie's Halo faceplate coming out in October!

  • 08.25.2006 11:10 AM PDT

it's so much better than the bungie one

I went all out on mine. I was trying to go for coolness. I edited the layers that said "put behind this one" and changed the Light on the front into a Legendary shield that had green glowing edges. The only thing was, i don't have a 360 (yet very soon though) and i edited the Chrome CD tray thinking yeah thats a cool idea. I shoulda thrown in the description (it comes with a sticker for your CD tray.

Ara sure feck it. Here it is.
