Description Loose Painted Illustration for Swatson3rd of his own original character: Spartan Nathaniel A-151 from the Halo universe.

This was such an enjoyable commission for me to work on; Halo related content is always right up my alley, but I love having the opportunity to work on different ethnic characters and focus on getting all the specific features down to the best of my ability. Aside from that, I've been experimenting heavily with distinct color palettes and lighting recently and this illustration was the perfect content for what I wanted to achieve. I'm very happy with the results on this one.

Quick Stat Rundown:
- Halo 3 EOD helmet
- Outfit (specifically the top) design by AmbulantChronothaur and used with permission.
- 2 cybernetic prosthetics based off Kat's (leg designed from scratch to match) and scaled up for Nathaniel.
- Matching helmet and outfit colors.

I've also been working with Swatson recently on some other great projects that I can't wait to share when they're finished, and I'm very lucky to have another commission of this type from the wonderful doug7070 where the subject matter is both sci-fi and a character of color that I'm extremely excited about as well!

Thank you again so much for commissioning me, Swatson! It has been a real pleasure!

You have such an eye for detail, Owl.  And anatomy!  The pose is perfect.  I really, really like his helmet, too; so crisp and colorful!

He looks awesome! Though I've always wondered how a prosthetic limb could scale up to a Spartans augmented strength.

Thank you, and I'd imagine that as strong as a Spartan is, a prosthetic limb would have no problem matching their strength, and most likely excel in comparison (depending of course if you meant in or out of their Mjolnir).

As much as I enjoyed this, it's so meaningful to me when my commissioners are just as happy! Glad to have worked on this for you, Swatson!
