Description
I put this up on my personal site and it's been on H.B.O. [link] for a few days now. And my friend Atolm [link] convinced me to share it with people on D.A. dispite my reluctance to do so.So here he is, the Gold-Armored Elite in all his ass-kicking glory. That s.o.b. with the energy sword who insists on taking you on in the level known as Assault on the Control Room.
Done 100% in photoshop, including the HAND-RENDERED BACKGROUND (that was based off a screencap' I took during the game). 8 hours of work.

i really really love it but it's missing a bit more black, not contrast just darker..
and the light coming out of the think he's holding should have a bit more white.

oops, meant to ask this but I forgot... just out of curiosity, how many layers did this take?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I only used five layers on this one. Not as many as I do normally, but the image didn't need a lot.

ye gods, you've pulled it off again miss Tina. I've never played Halo (and don't really have any inclination to) and yet I can't help but adore your Halo art. I've definately got to get myself a wacom... c.c

oh..... very well done. Me likes. The detail is just great. ^_^ Atolm was right you do great Halo fan art, keep it up you have great talent ^_^ don't be afraid to share your stuff on here, granted there are a few out there with comments that are not wanted, however the ones who can recognize talent and don't have their head up their arses would agree that this is great work, and that includes all your other works. Keep it up ^_^

Excellent coloring/shading on the background and character! I dunno if it is suppose to...but the left hand looks like it has 2 thumbs, and the weapon in the right hand should be a bit more 3d, it looks really 2d compared to the rest of the pic. Other then those 2 things nothin else pops out. Great job blending the background with the character...I never do that right 
But, out of your pics I still think Vantid is my fav

Damn that's good. Again I don't really know much about Halo, so I can't say how dead on accurate the version is or isn't. But it's impressive to me. And you drew the background and rendered it by hand? It looks every bit as good as my favorite video game backgrounds and better than the majority of them I've seen, fav or no.
I like your stuff a lot, and it's both awe inspiring and dismaying that you put so many hours of work into them. Inspiring because you do so much as a labor of something you love and love to do well, and I think that is so wonderful. It's dismaying because I can't come close at all regardless of how many hours I would spend, and to get that good I'd probably die of old age first.
Thank you for continuing to share your work with us, and for bringing in pics like this that are originally for a different audience.
Bless,
k

awwwwwwwweeeeeeeeesssssssooooommmmeeee! I dont mean to be a repeater, but your halo fanart ROCKS!!!! and the fact that you did that all in photoshop (digipad or mouse btw?) makes it all the cooler! dont stop! if you got more, submit it! FAV!

Thank you for the kind words. And as for pad vs mouse, I do most of my digital stuff now with a small Wacom tablet with pen.
No way in hell could I pull that kind of pic' off with a mouse. >_<;

it was worth asking, I mean I know that Im not much of one for (ball) mouses, the laser ones are better (because they're smoother, no catching or skipping) but I do know that darkrose2402 does some impressive stuff with a mouse.
