Starfield

And now I will never need to draw stars ever again. XD
Actually, this starfield (most of it, anyway) was created a long time ago. But until now, there were two big blobs of stars at the top and bottom. They looked cool, but they kinda detracted from the point of this project: to make a piece of stock art that I can digitally insert wherever I like. Having a big blob of stars in the sky meant it wouldn't make sense as a night sky on Earth-- and it limited the amount of space I had to work with. But I don't have that problem anymore now. ^_^

US Aliens 7: Stalghites

Hey. You know what's cooler than fighter jets? DRAGON FIGHTER JETS IN SPAAAAACE.

US Aliens 6: Atarans

This came out a little more humanoid than I wanted... I said there weren't going to be any humanoid aliens in US, and I meant it. But I've tried a bunch of variations on Ataran anatomy, and this design was my favorite... what do you think? Are they too much like humans?
On another note, the only thing I love as much as designing weird alien bodies is designing the weapons they would create.

US Ch. 2 Pg. 13

Guess what? Only two more pages left in this chapter! I told you it was short, lol.

US Ch. 2 Pg. 12

Finally getting back on track with Under Stars! Hooray!

Camo Armor

So I was looking through Manga Studio Debut 4's preset tones and backgrounds, and I noticed a Camouflage tone. I immediately thought of this old armor concept I did a while ago, so I whipped this up. The tone does seem to drown out my lineart a bit, but I think that's just because the lines were fairly rough and light to begin with. Any finished drawing will look much better. I think I rather like this effect.

Long Dreams

From left to right: Bornstellar Makes Eternal Lasting, Chakas, the Didact, and Riser. 
Well, at least two of these characters will be in Halo 4... how about the others? Place your bets, people!

...
That awkward moment when you realize you forgot to draw someone's nipples...

Facial Lighting Practice II


Facial Lighting Practice

Just a little foolin' about. I've wanted to do something like this for a long time... I'm not that great with lighting though. How did it turn out?
