War Games daily challenges: 1-27-13

Posted on by

Whew after a week’s frustration with the recent upgrade to my site, I’m finally back to being able to directly upload images to my site. So I can now get back to bringing you the Halo 4 challenges.

Here are the challenges for 1/27/13.

WarGames 012713

 

Man, I wish Griffball were here for the first one. That would be extremely easy. Well, looks like Flood is the playlist of the day. You shouldn’t have much trouble getting both challenges in that playlist what with the shotgun and Flood “Sword” arm.

Update on Seraph Concept art.

Posted on by

Every Wednesday I post a piece of concept art as seen in the Art of Halo books. This past week I introduced one of three concept Seraph concepts.

Here’s the original:

Seraph Concept 1

 

Usually I post within an hour or so a color rendering of the sketch that I did. This was a little backlogged due to Spartan Ops having a new episode and my working on the comic book. However, I finally had some time to finish this color rendering and here’s what I came up with, both with and without a background:

Seraph Concept 1 for article Seraph Concept 1 for article noBG

 

Bah, I forgot to add some effects to the cyan balls in front. Ah well, I still think it looks pretty cool with color added. Against a black background (with subtle stars) it looks even better, IMO.

So did any of you color this in? I’d love to see what you come up with.

Look for the Color me this article every Wednesday with a new sketch and please feel free to send me your color renderings to [email protected]. Anyone submitting a color rendering will have their’s posted on the site!
