Just finished chapter 11. I enjoyed drawing the elite. Haven't done many of those. The Halo Encyclopedia helps alot. So much that I didn't know about the Halo universe. Carl is loving it too. He even found a loop we can use when we make a quick comic.
Working on a new painting too. Still going with the odd city theme that can be seen throughout all my work. lol I can't get away from it.
White Elite
Finished chapter 10 last night. Was is such a rush that I sent the confirmation email to my editor without the actual illustration! lol. Thankfully this has never happened before so he knows that it was just a small blunder on my part. Fic and art still got posted by friday.
Since school got out, all I've been doing is art and cosplay. Got most of my skull created, just have to attach the beak to the rest of the skull, then detail and paint it. Most of the hands are done, along with the eyes. The feet are still, ehhh.. Not sure how to create those. Maybe having everyone around will get the juices flowing. And I got my blade cut out. Will paint it tomorrow. So, it looks likes we might make it for Ikkicon.
Odessa Chapter 10
Managed to find sometime between finals and my commute to do the illustration for chapter 9 of Odessa's fanfic. It started out much bigger, with the shadow of a spartan in the background, but I cut it out. I wanted to focus on the girl and her gun. This one was different for me. I don't draw or paint children... ever. I had to find some good reference. At least I got to practice my skin tones.

A big thank you to the 405th and my editor. I've been promoted to lead photoshop artist! Woot! And as my first project, I created the 405th Twitter bird. There was a contest on Twitter today to name him. Not sure quite yet what was picked. I liked ODSTweet.

Also finishing up a poster for my ARTC 2304 class. Should have it done and printed out by tomorrow. I'll post the finished product. I'm really excited about this project.... Just wait and see.
New illustration for the 405th. Now to get to work on my two traditional paintings. lol
Facing the Flames
Finished the illustration for Ch. 6 last night, but was too tired to post it here. Sorry. Had a long week.
Went down to Texas State friday to registure for classes, I start the 24th. Found a nice cheap apartment as well. Too bad I'll only be down there during class. Weekends will be spent at home working on armor and cosplay stuff. Hope my roommates understand. If not, oh well.
Didn't do the same layout for Ch.6 that I originaly had, lost my sketchbook a while back. I decided on something a bit more straight forward.
I don't usually do alot of spaceships, so this was a learning experience for me.
Longsword vs Seraph
Found a video of myself from the local con dancing. Odd stuff indeed. http://bit.ly/17fiYW
Working on the Odessa art right now, playing with the shapes and placement. Might have something to post soon.
They've used my Odessa-086 KIA piece! Sweet! Check it out here : 405th.com. Sorry. I can't seem to get it to link.
Beginning work on next piece for Odessa's fiction. Has an awesome space battle featuring several longsword ships and the covenant seraphs. I don't usually do mechanical oriented illustrations, but I'll give it a try. Here are some sketches for layouts.

So, Harry Potter is coming out in less than a week. I can't wait. Been rereading the 6th book because I've forgotten alot. Even rewatching the movies as they come on tv. How sad am I?
Anyway, finished my first illustration for Odessa. She does a fiction for the 405th about a female spartan of the same name. Neat stuff. Hopefully I'll get to do more.
Done more for my novel as well. I'm making myself sit down and write at least five pages a day. Even been getting up to 7 on some good days. Up to 267 so far and maybe about halfway through the story. Of course, as I go along, I find myself adding more and more just because it works. I hope to have at least 500 pages at the end. And even get it published by the end of the year. Then I can work on my graphic novel.
