Color Me This: Halo 4 Weapons series; DMR

Last week I loaded up a line art rendering of a Battle Rifle and asked you to create a skin for it.

We had three readers send in submissions and here they are (click pics to make bigger):

Newly registered Arturo sent in his “Green and Blue” skin in honor of Master Chief and Cortana:
BR Green and Blue Mix
Looks like Cortana is wrapped all around Chief! Nice work.

Neal Block is a huge fan of the Flash from DC comics, so he made a “Flash” skin:
flashbr
Very nice. Definitely reminds me of that zippy super hero!

Reader Brandon brings us his “Insurgent” skin:
Insurgent H4_BRExcellent work. I love that blood spatter on the front!

And here are my two renderings. The first I wanted to invoke a special ops feel to, so I did not include any bright colors. Instead I went with black, greys, and white. I call it “Midnight”.
H4_BR Midnight

This next one I made would likely see use in cold weather climates, VERY cold that is. It’s called “Fridgid”. After inking in the colors, I then decided to add a iced over effect to it. See the difference below:
H4_BR Fridgid
H4_BR Fridgid w-ice

So as you can see we got a nice mix of colors in all of the artwork submitted. From colorful to hot and cold, realistic and dark.

So do you have a favorite? If so, what made it your favorite?

Now we come to this week’s Color Me This Halo 4 weapon, the DMR.
H4_DMR

As always you have one week to submit your designed skin of this. Feel free to download this artwork and color in as you see fit. You can submit your colored in versions to me and I’ll show them next Wednesday here on the blog. Nothing vulgar folks. You have until noon Wednesday March 26. I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
