Description
The blurb on the image says it all
Hope you like. Working for bungie is quite tough since they are very protective of their property and very particular about how the Master Chief looks. I think using 3d references for any halo project would be extremely helpful (as long as we don't trace. In Marvel for example, one can draw Spidey's eys like McFarlane or the classical way as long as it looks cool.

I like it. It looks a lot like the MJOLNIR Mark VI armor.

hmm the armor modle escapes me lacks a lot of detail so its hard to determine the over all look. the front rectangular piece thats blacked out is a bit strange for the varients that come to mind. lol.

I think the armor model would be Moljnir *7? I think it's what the Spartans in Halo Wars will be wearing.

Halo wars is set twenty years before Halo CE. They wear mark 4 armor.

dude cool pic what program did you use

I think that's actually the reference model for the Halo 1 MC you got there. You can download a model that looks something like that to use as a height reference for making custom maps.
Awesome job using that to make this artwork!

what was it like working on the best game ever?
π: 0 β©: 1
its not actually the best game ever since the 2nd already sucked now we just hope that half life ep 3 doesnt suck...

who cares what the 2nd installment was like? the 1st and 3rd were both legendary, both setting new standard for a console FPS
and you gotta be kidding me; HALF LIFE? who would look forward to that when Gears of War 2 is coming pout soon?
π: 0 β©: 1
yes i agreed the 1st and both was legendary but since i don have a 360 i cant play the 3rd and wat wrong wit HalfLife?also i don see the point in Gears of War anyway and people who call other people noobs are noobs themselves

Your Halo artwork is amazing man. I really love it.

wow... you're working on a HALO comic books? With Bendis?
FYI, the main man in charge of testing and making sure HALO3 rocks (and works) is a Pinoy named Randy Pagulayan.

i had no idea you were working for bungie, i thought you were just out of college? crazy shit!
π: 0 β©: 1
no, I was just working for marvel who in turn is doing stuff for bungie. But bungie takes a hands on approach so they oversea the project directly.

what programs and tools do you use? I assume you did this digitally? I'm guessing a Wacom Cintiq, and Corel Painter IX

Fantastic! Soemtiems perspective and creative talent needs a few missing lines, am I right? Rough and tough like the chief himself.
π: 0 β©: 0
god damn your amazing..i just made a master chief pic can you tell me what you think of it?
π: 0 β©: 0
good stuff, so working for bungie doesn't allow for too much artistic licence? i mean... it would be cool to see master chief with some of McFarlane's eyes right? 
π: 0 β©: 0
I have attempted this in the past but I just dont know how you do it? Do you do it the same way as a drawing and build up from shpes and then build on the bulk with the colour? Im just not too sure and I would like to ahve a go at this myself. Looks fantastic though probably your best so far shows that you are getting better by the day. Keep it up and I will keep whatching

I agree about how 3D references would be helpful for Halo projects. There's just something about Master Chief that is hard to draw without reference. I think it has a lot to do with the helmet and the specific angles that people recognize on it because it's basically his face. I must have drawn the Chief a hundred times but I still can't seem to get him right without reference. I've had the most success positioning an actual in-game model in a 3D program to cheat from like you did. I'm pretty sure the one you used is right from Halo 1.
I think in the new Halo: Uprising comic a lot of in-game materials were used too. From what I've seen, it looks like a lot of the pencils aren't actually pencils but screenshots with a Photoshop filter.
By the way, I love your artwork. I have you watched and I love seeing your stuff as it's posted. Especially your new digital stuff. It's very inspiring.

Awesome stuff, man. Your art's really improving. Keep it up, bro.
π: 0 β©: 0
it looks awesome but I miss the trademark leinil style that shows in your traditional stuff, it would be awesome if you could use your traditional style in your digital work. right now it kind of looks like a hybrid of maleev's and alex ross' style.

Hey, I think you should do the comic series, knowing that now Bungie is collab with Marvel, right after Mr Maleev maybe
