We’re up to day 6 now. Man, these days are flying by FAST!

You probably guessed what today’s art piece was from the large “winged” back on the blacked out preview from yesterday. Yep, it’s a Promethean Knight!

I got this one done in 6 color, yet there is a lot of detail. It was important for me to get just enough of the orange and yellow detail in there to give some vibrance to the Knight who would have otherwise been just greys and black.

Here’s the preview of the day 7 character. Can you guess what it is? I don’t think it takes much guess work for this one, LOL.

Are you liking this series so far? What has been your favorite? Any guesses as to who/what may be in the rest of the series?

A bigger version of this and all of the other minimalist pieces will be available after they’ve all been shown. Stay tuned for more details on that.

I recreated these in Adobe Illustrator using some fun techniques and refining some of the shapes. I tried to use as few colors as possible yet show enough detail so that each character was instantly recognizable.

Well, we’re halfway through with today’s posting of my Halo minimalist art series. It’s day 5. Did you guess who the character would be?

As I’m sure you could tell from those large spiky things, it is of course an imposing HUNTER!

I had to go a little bit more with color here, since the hunter has that fuel rod cannon array on it’s left “arm”. So this one has 7 colors. The lightest blue I could have maybe exchanged for the darker blue, but it just didn’t look right when I tried it. I felt the added highlighting helped, so I kept it in.

This is the fourth of a series of 14 minimalist artwork of Halo characters. I recreated these in Adobe Illustrator using some fun techniques and refining some of the shapes. I tried to use as few colors as possible yet show enough detail so that each character was instantly recognizable.

So did you guess who the fourth day’s character would be? It’s a Grunty GRUNT!!

I was able to get this done with only 5 colors.

A bigger version of this and all of the other minimalist pieces will be available after they’ve all been shown. Stay tuned for more details on that.

Here’s the preview of the day 5 character. Can you guess who it is? Kind of easy from the silhouette huh?

Here is the second of a series of 14 minimalist artwork of Halo characters. I recreated these in Adobe Illustrator using some fun techniques and refining some of the shapes. I tried to use as few colors as possible yet show enough detail so that each character was instantly recognizable.

So did you guess who the third day’s character would be? It’s a fearsome Storm Elite!

I used 6 colors for this particular character. While I did try to take this to only 5 colors, it just wasn’t looking right. I’d lose too much detail. So I stuck with 6 colors and I think it came out pretty good.

A bigger version of this and all of the other minimalist pieces will be available after they’ve all been shown. Stay tuned for more details on that.

Here’s the preview of the day 4 character. Can you guess who it is? Kind of easy from the silhouette huh?

Whew, okay, I’m caught up now. Hopefully I’ll stay on track for the rest of them!

So did you guess who the second day’s character would be? Why it’s Cortana of course, everyone’s favorite Halo Smart A.I.!

As with Master Chief, I only used 5 colors to flesh the lovely Cortana out.

In the meantime, here’s a preview of the day 3 characte. Can you guess who it is? It’s pretty easy….

Since I’m already a day behind….you’re going to get this character later today, so I can catch myself up.

So then, who better than to kick off this art project than the Master himself, Master Chief!

In the case of Chief here, I only used 5 colors to flesh him out.

In the meantime, here’s a preview of the character tomorrow. Can you guess who it is? It’s pretty easy….

Come back tomorrow for the reveal of this character and a sneak peek of day 3’s minimalist artwork.

p.s. I would have had this up sooner, but had hurt my back (again), so that’s why it’s being posted so late…
