Description Here it is, in all its glory. Inspired by Eric Nylund's Halo: Ghosts of Onyx .

I'm not going to give away any story, but the soldier in the foreground is indeed a Spartan, but not in MJOLNIR. Both are being chased by Sentinels... Another spoiler, so I won't say anything more than the image already says.

In all, about 16 hours, CS2 as usual. The original, minus the border and such, was 3000x4000 pixels.
Gotta lova Halo!

UPDATE: This was featured in Bungie.net's November art contest [link]

Heh. The first thing that pops into my head when I see this is:

Spartan Behind: "Hey, you tripped me! Get back-" *Sentinel Laser Blast Grazes him* "Shit, my shields! Damn you for tripping me, man!"
Spartan Front: "I didn't do jack, amigo! You're just too slow! HAHAHAHAHAHAH-" *Falls into a pit* "Dammit!"
Spartan Behind: *Passes Pit* "Hah! Karma's a bitch, ain't it!"

Never read the book, though I want to. But still, amazing work Rahll. Keep it up!

The General

I can barely think about fighting those monsters...... Imagine juking through a jungle trying to outdo a three-unit strike team.

This book remains one of my favorites EVER. It was EPICALLY written. I memorized the final scenes by the time I was in seventh grade. XD I'm in tenth now, so I guess I need to reread it, huh?
By the way, who is the spartan III?

Wait.... why are we sparring in the first place? We're friends.... it's because of you and that damned cattle prod!

on halo 3 they actually have the sentinels and they look nothing like i thought (same as what you drew but white and more of a metal ball with an eye)

SPOILER
and is that what the spartan III's armour looks like? i wasnt sure as its on the cover as well

I’ve read The Fall of Reach, and it just blew my mind. I still need to read the Flood, and Ghosts of Onyx, but that’s only after I finish Confessor. Eric Nylund is a bad ass author, but Terry Goodkind will always be #1 in my book.

Make sure you read First Strike... it bridges Halo and Halo 2.

That's really well done! It looks quite similar to the one on the Onyx cover. That was a great book, imo.
