Slow down! Speed painting Halo 3 commercial


Not 24 hours have passed since the Halo 3 commercial has been released and already fan art has surfaced. Rahll over at deviantART created the above masterpiece in about an hour and a half after being inspired by last night's Halo 3 commercial airing. This is one of my favorite scenes from the commercial where Master Chief throws down the force field grenade and BLAM! ... it gives me a tingly stomach. So, for all you competitive artistic types, can you do better? I'm a big sucker for Halo inspired artwork, so if you're up to a challenge then get out your Crayolas and create some Halo 3 inspired artwork. And if you do a good job, I just might do a follow up and recap the best fanboy artists, there work and maybe even be some personal blog linkage.

It looks nice, but I thought it was just a screen cap of the trailer.

last night after watching it I went and tried drawing some young/teen MC action shots but I lost inspiration after a while. I suppose it didn't help any that I never really created some sort of character model, I just kind of "winged it".
