Description
commission forFelina asked for a post Fall of Reach pic of John remembering his fallen friends Fhajad, Sam, Kelly, and Linda at a memorial to those killed in the glassing of Reach. They appear as he remembers them from training, their memories always with him as he places a flag at their monument.
For further clarification: this was a commission and the above paragraph is what Felina wanted. The children are not ghosts, they are memories of his friends from when they were all in training - when they were "happy". I hope that better explains.
And if you click 'download' it's freakishly huge.
This has also become a tribute to all veterans, since I posted it in time for veterans day. So here's to all those who have given their lives to our safety at war and at home. To those of you serving now, we all pray for your safety and success, and thank you for your sacrifice on our behalf. To every soldier who has ever carried our flag into battle, the US thanks you and loves you for all you have done for us.

Thanks everyone for all the great comments. Thanks no one for comments pointing out who is and is not alive without reading the description where I clarify I know who is alive and dead, I read the books and was paid to draw this picture. Thanks to constant frustration you innocent souls probably think me petty for being so angry about I've turned comments off. No one dare note me about how undead everyone is.

Nice work!
Never imagined Kelly with blue hair, but it works. lol
(Or did she have blue hair in the books? Been so long since I read them I can't remember. lol)

Really nice job. I love how the ghosts look, especially. And the details look really nice. Being a perfectionist pays off, sometimes!
I wish I played Halo...

Ummm... Kelly and Linda didn't die. Linda went on to participate in battles with the covenant after Halo 2, and Kelly was abducted by Dr. halsey. Of course, I now know that you know that thanks to the post directly above mine.
Perhaps a notice would be good for the Halo Pursts so you don't get a zillion of these comments?
Sorry.
Excellent pic.

I said "relative deadness aside" I hope you read. I didn't want to spoil it for people who hadn't read the books. And I don't think its going to stop the comments. People don't read the descriptions.

I know that. Neither is Linda. I was just doing as I was told.

Wow, there's just so much emotion in this piece. It's just so well portrayed that it brings a tear to your eye. There's hardly any words for me to describe just how much I like this piece. I'm actually quite speechless for once! xD

Wow. If it wasn't for me being so tired from being up so late, I think this would have made me go and grab the tissues. It still brought a tear to my eye though.
I love the look on John's face, heck, I love the whole thing. This is an instant fave.
The Halo nerd in me can't help but complain that Kelly and Linda are still alive, and that John knows so. I'm going to ignore the nagging, though, because I absolutely love this picture.

I put the little disclaimer on there for the relative deadness of the characters, I was just filling out the request as it was made.

Show how tired I am...I read the artist comments, but apparently that didn't sink in well.
Sorry.

Wow, looks great! The only criticism I would offer (and believe me I know I could never do anything like this, its merely meant to be constructive), is that the legible text and insignia on the monument look a little out of place, like it's a bit of a contrast to how everything else is done by hand. Just my two cents...

It takes a lot for me to start tearing up.
This did it. *Grabs tissues*
The chief's pose and the way his friends surround him is such a heart wrencher! Absolutely beautiful piece!!
