I can finally say something about this... I won! My entry was selected to represent the story "Midnight in the Heart of Midlothian" and will be included in an upcoming printing of the book. I can't wait to go to a bookstore and find one of my own illustrations in a book...
I have to admit that I had forgotten about this contest. I'd check the Halo Waypoint page once in a while to see what was up... It was a big surprise to receive the email. And an honor.
Here's the announcement: http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/transmissions/article/2010-08-16--Halo-Evolutions-Art-Contest-Winners
 
405th source 06/06/2009
 

I'm now a member of the source for the 405th. I'll be making artwork for the various articles that find their home in the e-zine. I'm super excited, but hate the fact that I can't really start untill I get back from vacation. Boo.

Did force myself to start studying spartans more closely. Did a study of a helmet last night, all on photoshop. I like how it turned out. Might post it later because the 405th has first dibs on it's use as of now.

Kuno got some video of us, and it's set to music. Enjoy!

 
 

I can't believe we did it. Kat and I finished our armor and got to enter it in the cosplay walk-on contest. And we won 2nd place! I love it. We walked on stage, did two poses, then took off our helmets and the crowd freaked. Oh no! Two girls in Halo armor! I had so much fun this weekend. My body is stiff from how I had to walk. Not very easy by the way, to walk in armor, especially down stairs or across a busy street. 

Got to meet several other 405th members and invited others to come. Go there, now. To the 405th. It is awesome. Here are some pics a friend took of us.

Finished one part of a three part commission for gaia today.

Also, got alot of my stuff fiberglassed. Interesting process. Very messy. Finished Pepakuring the chest and finishing up a hand right now. Will fiberglass the crotch, the other wrist and shoulder and this hand. Woo! Getting there.

I love Halo! 01/22/2009
 

Just finished the Halo painting. Sorry it took so long Carl. Happy belated birthday. BTW, MC and the spartan cannon are owned by Bungie.

 
 

Sigh. Spent too much time on the Halo painting today. Starting to pick it apart. I need to just walk away and let my eyes and hands rest. After a good night's sleep, I should be able to finish it tomorrow. If I don't look at it from the working artist's perspective, then I like it. But oh, when that paint brush is in my hand... There is so much that I want to fix.

 
Halo Painting. 01/15/2009
 

Got the charcoal outline done of the Laser Cannon painting. Used vine charcoal. I love how it blends and smudges so well. Had to fix the proportions of several things. I'll add more detail with the paint later.

Going for something a little abstract in the painting portion, I think. Just have to wait and see how it turns out.
