Description
Here's another piece Ive had the pleasure of working on for Bungie.I figure its pretty safe to post this low res version since its been on the internet for months.
The one was for an EDGE magazine cover and interior double-page spread, it was an enormous piece to work on clocking in at about 5700 pixels wide.
Some of the background was intentionally left amorphous and loose to accomodate letterhead, I also had to use a cut and paste paint overs on the guns and helicopter due to time contraints (4 days to finish the approved sketch) but the rest was exhaustedly hand-drawn.
Having to do paintovers is something I really hate doing but when it comes to commercial work all bets are off; its not about your unique voice and vision anymore its about delivering what a client expects and has contracted you to do.
Enjoy!

The color and shading is absolutely amazing, how you translate the lighting effects from 3D in-game to a drawing, even digital, is super.
Very awesome work!

I love the design of the marines in this picture. Great reds and blues. The motion blur outside adds fantastic momentum and urgency to the sign.

You know, I think I know you on a forum...
But seriously, incredible. I have only done couple of Spartan IIIs and this takes all prizes for awesomeness. For the armour, did Bungie give you layout/schematics of how it fits together? Or was it from eye?

Much props to you for swallowing your "ego" with such grace.
Its a shame that paint overs are almost forced.
I would like to be in the industry one day, so it is good to hear the unfortunate truths about such work. No sense in jumping into the pool without proper info. Thanks much, and weeeelll done!

Thanks very much!
Sadly using 3d is a necassary evil with the absurd deadlines you have to meet.
Thankfully ive only ever used it 2 times and both for guns/vehicles/tech.
Ill never use it for my own personal work.
