Description
[::: Elite :::]Just realised that in all my time as a halo fan, ive never actually drawn an elite! So ... yup! As i'm sure you can appreciate, i didnt want to go for a "realistic" look etc. Theres a time and a place for it and well ... this wasnt the time!
Approx 40 mins.
All comments welcome and appreciated, thanks!

hehe. Well, i'll probably continue to do AVH pictures over my lifetime ... i like the idea of taking an old picture and redrawing it to see how i would do it differently with the new stuff i've learnt
Halo 3 was the best one yes, but just like ff8 is in many ways better than FF7, it wont be the one i remember as favourably. I think i'd have rather waited another year for halo3 and had it twice as long ...

Well that works, the AVH pics were two of my favorites in your gallery. XD
And yes, I know what you mean about redrawing old pictures... it's always nice, and rather interesting to see how much and in what ways you've improved over time.
Oh, and I know exactly what you mean now... and I can't agree more now that I think about it. As FF7 was the most memorable Final Fantasy, Halo 2 probably is the most memorable game of it's series... hmm.

i dunno. I'd say halo 1 captured something the others didnt ... but halo2 certainly was awesome for the multiplayer
and as for the AVH pics ... its kinda a love/hate thing. I can never tell if people like it due to its quality or just for the concept ... !

Hmm... and sadly, I have to disagree with you on that one. I actually didn't like Halo 1 very much at all... it just didn't do much for me, for some reason. I'm not saying it wasn't a good game, it was, but I just liked it's predecessors much more.
And hmm... actually, I know how you feel there. But let me just say, that the quality was what got me liking them. I mean, the concept is cool and all, but I just loved the way you pulled it off and how well drawn/well colored everything was.

aww shucks. Yeah ... halo1 is totally unplayable now. Its way too slow and ploddy. But i loved it at the time

Indeed. There's that and the fact that weapons don't seem to be as much fun to use anymore, they just seem dull now, compared to all the new ones. (Except for the Halo 1 pistol. I loved that thing. XD)

yeah. the halo 1 pistol never got beat ...

nopers, if it was september 24th i think i might've died. lol yup sept 3rd, i cant wait to kick some alein shi0at.lol my bf was playing legendary and we were just having fun, all of his ammo was out, only a plasma gernade left. well he threw it, and it landed on a elite saying "Prepare to die!!!" and once the plasma gernade reached him, it landed on his crotch plate (no joke) and he screamed like a silly girl and he blew up. lmao. my luv and i died laughing oh good times. hope to have some of those with this new co-op in Halo 3, just need a 360...grawr.... man it'll be sweet dont ya think?

looks a bit stocky for an elite, but still really cool
has a personal-touch, and that's also cool

You're welcome. You're one of the first people I favorited as far as art goes. It only makes sense since your art still kicks ass.

awesome work. I love the dark shades on the Elites and then the bright background, it really forges the two together in my mind. Amazing work.

One of the best b/w peices I have seen of an elite. Great contrasts and has a dramatic feel. Great job!

Ooof there is some nice painterly detail in here, and it contrasts nice with the more rendered areas. I'm especially liking the details on the face. Nice work.
