Flickr user larabair created a fantastic plush Huragok. It’s very detailed, especially for being made out of yarn.
Here’s a pic of an in-game Huragok for reference.
Considering the lack of official Huragok as well as merchandise, this would be a great way to bring it to light for fans. I have to say this is highly desirable. Would you buy into Halo plushies? I know I would.

Deinonychus, a Halo Mega Bloks enthusiast, posted the following custom made Halo Calendar on the bloks forums. It’s made with both Halo Mega Bloks and some LEGO pieces.
Pretty cool and SO MUCH PURPLE!

I’ve seen similar types of artwork on the web using other characters from other franchises and I figured, why not take a stab at Master Chief.
I think it turned out pretty good. What do you think? (Leave a comment below or tweet to me @halofanforlife.
This was a labor of love so to speak as it took several hours to complete. I had to first research the words to make sure I had the correct spelling and didn’t forget certain things. I only took one liberty and that is in the area of the hand. Here I put words I thought described Master Chief himself. Otherwise, everything else is related to Halo 4.
All told this took about 5 hours to make.
Oh, here is the pic I used for reference:

A studious Halo fan was able to get access to Halo 4 theater mode for campaign. I don’t know who it is as the video links to a German site and I can not read German.
Regardless, the montage is great and makes me yearn THAT MUCH MORE for theater in Halo 4 Campaign and Spartan Ops.
Thanks kindly to HaloDiehards.net for tweeting the link to this.

I posted this graphic last week. It’s the alternate cover for Halo Initiation #1.
Along the way, I posted my progression of coloring this, while showing the original artist’s inkings:
Here is what I came up with as the finished recolored piece:
I knew when I went to recolor this that I wanted to make this a night time setting instead. I’m pretty happy with the outcome. Hopefully that shows that you do not need to rush art as I took my time over the course of a week to finish this.
Let me know what you think of it.

Here’s a rare chance to mix Halo up with another fantastic Sci-Fi franchise. Star Wars was my first ‘love’ when it comes to sci-fi. So when I saw this on Pinterest the other day, I knew it was going to become the latest ‘Color Me This’ project.
Your mission, download and color this in, then send back to me.
Send back as a jpg file only, do not add anything vulgar as it will not be published. Submissions to be sent to sal@halofanforlife.com
