Description
The chosen one who will bring peace during times of turmoil in the Covanant's long history. Beleived a heretic by some, a hero by others. A great character, and (in my opinion) one of Bungie's coolest idea's.Overall, I was very happy with the single player game. This is my first (and hopefully not last) artistic contribution to a great game. The multiplayer is ok, but i dont think it lives up to the greatness of the first game.

Yeah, I prefered the first one, but I liked Halo 2 mostly because of the improved graphics, and it was more involved with the covenant. I love them Elites, Grunts and Brutes!
The Arbiter is one of my favorite video game characters, it was more fun being an elite than a Spartan! GOOD JOB!

Thanks! I agree that the arbiter is an amazing character. Getting the feel of both sides was an awesome idea. I liked the graphics, but the color was a bit too "shiny and bright" for the feel of the game. Overall, though, it was a good one!

Oh wow, this is really neat. I don't get to see Halo fanart too often and this is cool. I love the style you did this in, it is really unique. Wonderful job!

very very nice. nice work on the armour.
i personally didn't like playing as the arbiter, but i thought the conept was really good. i would've liked there to be a battle with the MC and the arbiter...but the boss idea didn't really fit the style of the game i thought...meh...halo3...can't wait!!!

Yeah, i really hated the final boss. It was stupid as hell, not very Halo-esque at all. A battle between the arbiter and mc would have been sweet.

yeah have the battle in the middle of the game, so it may have seemed like a boss, but both got away, then they could have made it into more of a '''''drama''''' when they both came together as a team...pff i should work at bungie

Ahhh! THIS IS TOO BEAUTIFUL! It took me forever to even just work up a simple not detailed sketch- you've done a brilliant job! He's so gorgeous, the armor he has is amazing and so freaking awesome! Definitely my favorite character, I hate doing MC levels now because of him. He makes MC seem like such a goody goody in the game when in Halo you think he's the badass! Hehehe. Anyways- this is awesome. Im favoriting it to death.

Ha ha thanks alot. I am really happy with the levels in Halo 2 that you play with the Arbiter. The idea of playing as two characters is very original and fun. His armor in the game looks gorgeous.
Thanks!

*twitchspazflop* I luff it. o_o
Sorry, I kinda did this little jig thing when I saw an arbiter deviation. Who doesn't like the Arbiter? *jumps on his head*
I really love this. The dark, soft colours really fit with him, and the background goes well with his... head. o.o;
Do you mind if I use this for my background? ^^ It's really well done. I'd say more, but my computer is about to die on me, and I have to comment on this before it shuts down and laughs at me. ;_;
It's aweshum! Well done!

This is most definately a favorite of mine. The best Arbiter piece I've seen yet. I agree that he is a great character. Keith David supplies a perfect voice for him as well. Like others, the Arbiter is favorite Halo-personality besides Sergeant Johnson. Bravo on creating such a wonderful work of art.

I'd be happy to tell you where I've seen some.
I'd highly recommend the talented jaxxblackfox. She has several pieces that feature Elites. I've seen one very good one of the Master Chief, one of two rather excellently-drawn Grunts. There are probably more. But I have not had time to go through all her 176 pieces of work yet.

That does get a bit annoying. A little tidbit in OXM stated that it's true they cut the third real act from the game itself. But at least the game had some sort of ending. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Droakir In reply to Stinoga [2004-12-15 03:54:00 +0000 UTC]
Well, apparently Gravemind (the plant thingy) is some sort of Flood Entity (or so I have been told). His reason for not activating Halo is it would destroy him. Most likely not by starvation, but because he's sentient (not hive-minded like the other flood). This is all speculation, though. I wanted to see more of the Arbiter/MC working together.

Elites and Grunts are by far my two favorite races in the Halo universe. And I love speculating about their culture and history (some of which is alluded to in Halo2).

The entire piece is done in Adobe Illustrator CS. I put my xbox in co - op, had one arbiter stare at the other, then sketched it. I scanned it to my comp and the rest was done on illustrator.
Thanks alot for the compliment.
