My Adventures Playing Halo (Requiem Edition)

After I painted John I had to seek out a Thel to paint as well.

The Arbiter was always my favorite to play in the earlier Halo titles, mainly because I found him to be so much more interesting than “Green man who communicates through shooting.” When you play as the Arbiter, you really truly feel the weight of your actions, and you can sense his rising desperation as his world collapses around him.

Really wish they’d kept the original plan in place for Halo 2’s story, I love Halo 3 to death but it can’t compare to the Arbiter discovering the “gods” the Covenant so revered were the humans they were trying to eradicate all along. In any instance, he’s the best part of Halo 2 and 3, and doesn’t get nearly enough recognition within the franchise beyond them

The Story So Far

Here's a semi-recent piece I did that took me a LOOONG time in terms of colouring. Colouring isn't usually my forte so I actually quite like how this turned out. All my pieces are usually done in one sitting because I'm very impatient, but this one took about three days of on and off work...

It's of our boy Thel, as indicated by the text. I wasn't trying to be too faithful to the armour design, I was freehanding and just adding details as I wanted, so sorry not sorry for the obvious inaccuracies. I just think it's cool and I like this one :3

“Analyzing—this must be the Control Room. Subtle.”

Happy 25 years to Halo Combat Evolved, the game who kicked off one of the most nostalgic franchises of my youth! I’ll never forget my first feelings of wonder traversing the alien ring world, or the way it made me feel to have a supercomputer call me a barbarian in a way that made me like it😳

Halo may look just like any other sci-fi shooter from the early 2000s, but at its core it is a truly transcendent tale of courage in the face of impossible odds, and the heavy burden knowledge beyond comprehension can place on even the most insightful of minds. It sum is more than the whole of its parts, a sentiment I think all halo fans who still find themselves being drawn back to it after a quarter of a century realize.
