here are some works in progress that i hope to have finished soon. this is concept art that i am still working on, and i hope to finish an updated draft so i can map it out. i would seriously have an orgasm if the bungie artists thought this would make a great MP map. there are two pieces to the map, but i sketched them seperately. if you use your imagination just right, you might be able to tell how they will be put together ; ) check em out: (by the way, i know they are crappy, they took me like 10 minutes combined)
this is the ship:

let me know what you think of it and anything i can add and i hope to have a draft soon with the ship from the first pic in the box from the second. not C&P, an actual drawing.
UPDATE: from what i've seen in the game, the cities in halo 2 are gi-blam!-ing normous! since africa (where halo 2 and 3 seem to play parts in) is a third world country now, it means that it will be a thriving metropolis in the future when the game's time frame is in. that means that cities that have thrived in the present will be run down slums or not even there by the time the game takes place. in this case, the san francisco/silicon valley area, the birthplace of the .com generation, will be practically a graveyard, filled with bombed-out low income apartments that have been vacant a loonnnngg time, and the actual city being a haven for squatters and bums, no place to live since all the dot commers found out that central/south america and africa (basically, all the little 3rd world countries now) were the next big hot spots to bring new businesses and corporations to, which is why they are thriving. anyway, i added some city scape to the back of the bridge (note: the side you see is not san fran side, this is the sausalito side you are looking at. sausalito is the next city after the bridge in the bay area. actually, in real life, the hills and bumps you see on the drawing are really the golden gate nat'l rec. area. no homes or buildings can be built here, but im sure there will be buildings there in the time the game is being played.) if it were in the game, the buildings would be huge, 100+ stories, but they would all be old, grey, un-inhabitable huge blocks of concrete and steel. anywhoo, here is the updated drawing, i know i suck at depth perception when it comes to buildings but imagine that these buildings aren't really this close, they are probably like 10 miles away.

next, i plan to draw it at a new angle with the covie ship in view.
