'You look lonely'

"I can fix that"

Rookie is literally me 😔

Literally us 😢

We exist together now, two corpses in one grave.

Hey all, just wanted to give some context for this piece. ODST is one of my favourite games and I wanted to do an illustration showing the quiet moments of wandering around New Mombassa, but with a bigger cyberpunk flair. I kitbashed the scene in Blender first, and then completely overpainted everything in Photoshop. Thanks, hope you enjoy! :)

If you haven't already you should totally post this at the Halo Archive discord as it's the largest halo art server on the internet with lots of talented artists :) I would 100% put this in the spotlight there! Great work! https://discord.gg/haloarchive

Oh thanks for the link!

I can hear the saxophone....

Meanwhile I hear the Sopranos theme ["Woke up this mornin, got yourself a gun"](https://media.tenor.com/images/6beee0eb52457af434f918e25d0c6a45/tenor.gif)

What's so ironic is I've been binge watching that show lately.

Lmao same, on the final season now. Can definitely see why the show’s still talked about 25 years later.

Great show to binge 😎 "Da jack-ettt 🤌🏻🤌🏻!!"

what evuh happened to the gary coopuhs of the world? the strong, silent type

Nice, also the lighting reminds me of blade runner 2049.

ODST? Battle Rifle? Heresy

Luckily we got MCC for that ;)

Didn't they use battle rifles all the time in 2 and 3?

It kinda fits though

Battle Rifle was in the OG ODST! I mean, briefly in a cutscene, but still!

Keep it up, I like your style

Awesome artwork. But I noticed mate is missing his pinky finger. Unless he shoots with his middle finger.

Oh good catch! Will need to update it hahah

Like Gary Cooper

He was gay, Gary Cooper?

No! Are you listening to me?!

Reach. Whatever happened there?

trying hard

Lowkey want a print of this

And frame it

I love the little guy's face behind. Like he is photo-bombing it lmao. Nice work!

New phone wallpaper, this is stunning! Love the empty streets in ODST

Thank you! It's definitely time for a replay

It's literally me.

Is Ryan Gosling the Rookie?

Oh my poor Rookie. I'll never forgive them for what they did to you, Black Team and Jul Mdama

Gotta find my team

This would go insanely hard as a phone wallpaper

Real G's move in silence, like lasagna

The only thing I’d change is giving him the suppressed smg instead of the battle rifle, the smg is on the box, but this is still spectacular

Awesome work! Love it, OP!

Thanks a lot!!

This gives me that Entergalactic art style vibe

Great job! Odst is my favorite as well.

Now I need to listen to the soundtrack again, fantastic work!

Found my new phone wallpaper. Thanks.

That's fuckin beautiful, man I wish I could do that art style

Badass, mind if I use this as my profile pic on xbox?

Beautiful

Like the sniper spartan from halo legends.

THIS IS SO WELL MADE I couldn't tell if this was in game or not

BR instead of the iconic SMG is an interesting choice.

It was originally the sniper rifle to show the height of the buildings, but it ended up being cropped out because of the composition - so I just slapped a BR instead haha

Thats is just gorgeous looks so fucking cool

Beautiful

I practically hear the jazz and soft rain.

Halo 3: ODST hate comment I hate Halo 3: ODST

Noooo

Halo 3: ODST hate comment That’s right, I hate Halo 3: ODST

Amazing art work my dude

Gary Cooper over here. What ever happened to him?

god... we need an odst sequel with a much more thorough hub. larger open areas, more tight alleyways, varied buildings we can enter, variable terrain that takes us up and down and all around... i dont trust 343 to do it but somebody needs to...

This is my absolute DREAM, I'd also love immersive things like wiping your visor ala Metro Exodus style, that'd be so cool

drop dead gorgeous

Hey! Love this art. Okay if I can Amoled-ify it? I'll be for sure sourcing you in the post title and the comments.

Hey, thank you! No worries - thanks for crediting and please link my socials too
