Hmm, Halsey isn’t expendable. So I wonder then about the title? Is someone important going to die in this episode?
Oh My GAWD. I have a guess as to what happens in this episode! SARAH PALMER DIES! Master Chief then comes back to the Infinity and takes over as new Commander of the Spartans!
GAWD! I HOPE this is what happens. WHile I’d like to see Palmer character fleshed out more so that I could actually start to like her, having Master Chief back and in charge is WAY more appealing to me.
Here’s the latest Halo concept art to color in. It’s the second in a series of three concept Covenant Seraphs.
This one isn’t quite as sleek as last week’s concept. However it’s front cockpit are is more reminiscent of traditional Covenant design.
Here’s the sketch to color in.
Normally I wait until after I’ve posted this to start coloring in the sketch myself. However, I had some time overnight and haven’t been to bed yet, so I figured I’d do this as well as work on Spartan Ops Episode 7’s comic book.
So here’s what I came up with and yes, I’m keeping the general color scheme going from concept Seraph to the next:
And without the background:
As you can see, the addition of the background helped to hide some of the jagged edges of the sketch itself. So when sketching, keep that in mind if you know you’ll be adding a background. Many of the most popular concept artist out there add some form of background to their work. Usually in the form of an area filled in with black marker. This is to help with depth and yes…to hide some of those not so clean edges. Though they may not tell you that. LOL.
I hope you like what I came up with. Now please feel free to download the sketch for yourself. If you color it in, please forward me the digital file or scan of it so I can show it off here on the blog.
