Description
The mysterious P'fhor egg found in a few levels of Marathon 1.I've Been on a Marathon tangent as of late, so I'm starting work on a companion piece to my "Blood Tides of L'Howon picture I did, only from the P'fhor's perspective.
Critiques are always more than welcome.

I always did find it strange they had eggs on that ship, but never on any other Pfhor Installation...

you know Ive noticed the pfhors eyes on part 2 and 3 have one on top and two on the bottom.

Yeah, Reginald Dujour(the one-man art team for the first game) put the third eye on bottom, because it looked more interesting(I agree with this notion, it's more cliche' to put a third eye on top). But Rob Mcclees(the main artist for Durandal and Infinity) thought that the third eye on bottom looked like a clown nose(which I never once thought).

Well remove that face mask and yeah it does look like a nose.

Thanks, I didn't use any bubble brushes, since they tend to look cheesy.

this is kick a** it's freaky X'D you draw the bubbles around him nicely, love the pose and the colors, very cool picture Phobos. I remember one of Doom 3 level when you stare at the container where the Imp was in..

Thanks, I really appreciate it!
I gotta play through that whole game again, I don't remember half of the scare moments, but I sure did love all of the revamped designs!

Scary "thing". Does it have three red eyes or it is some kind of device?

It's an Alien species with 3 eyes. It's from the game Marathon, made by Bungie(same developers as Halo). But the plot is so much deeper and better than Halo(not that Halo is bad or anything).

Thanks for info, I hear a bit about that game but never play it.

Bungie has released the game for free, they're easier to play if you've got a mac, but there are windows alternatives.

I think this has to be one of my favorite things you've done recently, and not just because I just played through Marathon again.

Nope, there's a section for it on this Marathon story discussion site, if you want some fan input.
