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!

Thank you so much!
The guns and helicopter are - the rest is handrawn.
You really dont have a choice when it comes to commercial deadlines that are this big.

You were the one who created this fine piece of art!? I'm not surprised in the least. Excellent job!

Sad but true, but we all know you have your own unique voice in artwork if left to your own devices so it's no biggy if your forced to just "get the job done".
Anyways, this is pretty badass regardless.

Utterly jaw-dropping. This could well be your best work, which is even more astonishing considering the time constraints.
