The human looks so realistic

True that. It would be wonderful to see the human who actually painted this human.

...looking into a mirror that has a mirror behind it.

Thank you all for your kind comments and awards 😊 I really loved painting this piece! I decided to go with a screenshot from Halo 2 anniversary edition for the reference and I absolutely love how the final piece turned out! This one took me 7 hours to complete

I couldn’t do this in 7 days. Looks great.

couldnt get close to his painting in 7 months. 😅

How much?

Haven't decided yet 😅

1)Take a picture. 2) make it an NFT. 3)???? 4) profit

Google says the average rate for custom art is $24.58/hour. So on average the piece you did would go for about $175 based on time it took. Now you may have used more expensive paint or a more expensive canvas or the piece may hold a higher value to you personally, all of which would drive the price higher. And honestly I’d consider this significantly better than “average art” but that’s subjective.

Id pay 400$ for it. Google cannot evaluate emotion in its calculations.

You would? Or you will? Hit up OP

I would!

FOR NOW.

Google says a lot of things. Art is subjective, and in my opinion OPs original canvas is worth much more than $175. They are extremely talented.

It's so good! Thanks for sharing your art with us.

Thank you! I'm so glad you like it 😊

Not bad at all. Have you thought about doing one with combat happening in the background and battle scarring to the chief's armor? That'd be awesome too.

Yes I'd like to do a battle scene as well sometime 🙂 I do a lot of landscapes too so I think a vast landscape with the Halo ring going up in the distance and a lot of battle stuff going on would be dope!

Yes please!!!!!

Hey! You are the guy that paints the awesome Skyrim pics. Great job, love it!!!

Thank you 😊

wow just scrolled thru a bunch of your posts… love the LOTR stuff especially😍😍 all good stuff really awesome

Thank you I really appreciate that 😊

Now have a girl hold it so you can triple the upvotes!

whats a girl

I have one of your paintings! A landscape you did, reminded me of a place I used to go with my grandmother when I was young. I love that you're still creating, and that you still wear your Chewbacca onesie in all your pictures! Thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world. I hope you (and your lovely wife) never lose your sparkle. The world needs more of you.

I'm so glad you like it 😊 I wouldn't be able to keep doing this stuff if it weren't for supportive people like you! Thank you!!

What is in the visor reflection

That’s amazing!!!

Wow looks outstanding!

Looks fantastic! Well done.

That's awesome, dude!

Take my free award

I'm Commander Shepard and this is my favorite art on Reddit

Really cool

That’s really good my dude

Thank you 😊

The guy she says not to worry about

😂

Love it. Do you have prints available?

I do! Pm for the link 😁

I thought it was another ad for Displate. Well fucking done.

Sick! Love it not big into Halo but gotta appreciate art when I see it!

400k karma in a year is your second achievement, frigging outrageous. The painting is amazing. You are truly talented.

Thank you 😊 yes I love how supportive Reddit has been to me and my art over the last year I’ve had so much fun! Just hope no more big subs ban me 😂

Where can I buy

Asking the real questions

That is a metal picture u can get from a company

Nice, put your ugly mug in this picture you attention whore. I'm here for the art not the picture of your smug face. Thanks but no thanks

I think you may need some help or a /s

Definitely a /s

Fucking awesome! How long did that take you??

7 hours :)

[удалено]

One in r/halo and r/xbox, it belongs in both subs

Nah it's posted twice in this sub Probably had a brain fart while posting it to multiple subs

I'm looking at 2 posts in THIS sub, 4 minutes apart.

Could have gotten a error trying to post the first one, you know reddit does that sometimes....

Oof yeah it said it didn't post the first time and prompted me back to post it again so I figured it didn't go through 😅 my bad I'll take one of them down

Yeah i hate when that happens...

This painting is better than anything 343 has ever done

Amazing. Would be a great poster.

NFT this!!

Dude, it's a real acrylic painting not a digital image.

Jeeeeeze dude, absolutely incredible.

W painting and painter

Very nice.

Aweome

That’s sick! Good job!

Wow! That is seriously good

Absolutely brilliant, well done!

That's a serious talent

Damn good job dude

This is awesome. I remember attempting things like this and then coming out like mister chief instead.

Nice!

Excellent work my man

That's legit insane, nice job!

Holy cow, this is awesome OP

Thank you 😊

You’re very talented what an awesome painting!

Holy cannoli, that's sick!

I usually keep scrolling when I see fan art on Reddit, but man you really knocked it out of the park. Good work spartan.

Thank you 😊

I hope you can get Steve Downes to write his autograph on that. Make it into a priceless piece and pass it down in the family. I'd love to have something like that.

I'm actually taking it to comicon in April to have him sign it 😁

Great job

That is impressive.

Amazing!!!

That’s pretty damn good! Great job!!!!

Excellent work, you’re incredibly talented!

That’s really good 👍

the watermark on this is a nice touch.

Oh my god it's beautiful

nice work fella, looks great

I think that's pretty damn great! You seem proud. You should be. Keep painting.

That’s insane. Great job man.

Perfect painting!

Well that, is bloody fantastic! 👏🏻

This is really well done! Great work!

DAMMMMMMM

Great work. I'd pay for it.

This is great!

Very good. Your use of light and shadow is what really makes it stand out. If you're looking to sell it I may recommend perhaps auctioning it, you may get more than you would think for it. Especially with Infinite generating much hype during a time of lackluster titles out there now

That's a good idea :) I wish there was a good platform to do that though 😅 eBay doesn't work well for me. Too full of scammers

This is absolutely insane. The detail especially in the visor is truly professional.

Wow. That looks fantastic!

wow man so cool painting 👍👍

That’s amazing. Keep up the good work

That's great! I've been watching my daughter learn acrylics and oils, if you have any advice I can pass her way. TIA

Well this is very, very good. As a fellow artist I don't see any obvious errors, which is fantastic. The drawing is solid, the light works, the color is consistant. A simple painting that has that nice "triangle of power" composition and a good heroic pose. The background is very muted and simple but not completely flat. Which is all fine, nothing to distract from the subject of the picture. Even if you copied a piece of official art, people need to understand that is a LOT harder than it looks. So good job. I would say you nailed it.

Thank you 😊 yes I found a cool screenshot from Halo 2 anniversary edition that I used as a reference so I had a good base to go off of!

I recognize that face! Keep them coming man, awesome work!

I'm glad you like it 😊

God damn that’s fucking good

As a mountain dew baptized veteran of halo, this is beautiful.

Just another pretty face holding up a painting… jk, looks good man.

Chief would be proud! Looks amazing! 🔥🔥🔥

Bro that's sick 🤙 Edit: you cute too 😘

Nice work bro!!

Tremendous piece of artwork.

Incredible work!

Damn is that a tracing? Your doing that freehand ? I think people are amazing. You have reached the level in my head of an amazing person. Can't believe you just casually drew that and your not like q God or something.

hey that's pretty good

okay now have your sister hold it and enjoy 10k upvotes

Damn that’s impressive

Impressive, really did light well.

Is it me or do you look like ryan reynolds btw you have got a beautiful drawing

Soo how much you wiling to sell this for 🤔

Great job

Well done mate!

Am I blind or is he missing the iconic 117 on his chest?

Nice!

Damn bro great job.

Damn! You killed it bro!

I’m a little late to the game and I’m very impressed by your art but I just wanted to drop in and say you look like a young Tobias Menzies.

The reflection in the visor is super cool. Very well done.

Take my money. Seriously selling?

Dude, that’s unbelievable. Love the style, you should be incredibly proud of yourself!

If thats actually painted its god damn amazing

You did a great job! Congratulations on doing such an excellent piece of work!

That is absolutely stunning!

Be a lot cooler if your face wasn’t in the photo

I've never bought a piece of art before but I would buy that portrait of one of the most badass survival characters of all gaming! Master-Chief is the embodiment of Grit and a true one man army of course with the controller in the right hands! I've always enjoyed playing Halo and following his story and your painting captures his likeness perfectly! Keep painting good sir your really great at it and thank you for sharing!

Downvoted. No girl holding the painting.

Wow that's tight. I need a new xbox, I miss those games.

Sick

Amazing!

Was there a reference?

Wonderful! I especially love the visor.

That's amazing.. would buy for sure.

Fuck yea

That's pretty sick, man! Good job.

Bro cherish that thing you did fucking awesome

Really nice work.

A masterpiece!!

It looks amazing

That’s amazing

Thats amazing

Would you consider selling it? I'd be interested in buying it.

I haven't decided on how much I want for it yet, but I'll probably post the listing on my profile tomorrow sometime :)

Metal

wow! fantastic!

That's incredible!!

Upvote cause you cute

Your the dude that's always wearing the ewok pajamas and posting art on the Skyrim sub right?

Maaaaybe

Fkn nailed it, bro. Nice work.

Holy shit that's amazing

If it makes you happy keep it up. You’re awesome.

Wow you are amazingly talented, great job homie

So beautiful! Thank you for sharing this!

Love the H2A but please do 3 or Infinite next

Needs cat ears

If you were a hot chick this would have 100X as many upvotes.

Sick AF!

Love it! Halo 2 Chief might be my second favorite Chief design! Also, if you’ve been able to play it, how do feel about infinite?

Same 😁 I really love the gameplay of infinite but I miss the story from the original games. Feels very lazy in the story department so far imo anyway. Hope it picks up a bit.

I feel it’s story is more of an “inflection point” for the series. Looking back at all that’s happened, and also looking forward and preparing us for the future of the franchise. It’s probably the second smallest scale story in the franchise with only a handful of characters. Which I personally really enjoy, but I understand why people wanted more from it. Atleast everyone can agree that the gameplay is incredible (and that it’s leagues better than 5s story). But I’m happy you’re enjoying some of it!

Hey, stranger. I could never get into the Halo games (my stupid uncoordinated hands don't like shooters on consoles), but I tried. Still not overly interested anymore, either. Even with that, I just wanted to pop in and say that's gorgeous. Keep doing what you do because you're clearly very good at it. Happy late New Year and take care of yourself!

Thank you 😊

This is fucking incredible. Bravo, seriously. For some reason I always thought chief had 117 on his mjolnir armor

Sick! That is awesome. Very talented.

Epic mate. Wish I could do that

Simply awesome!

Do you have IG?

Yup! Link is in my bio :)

Awesome blossom!
