Boarding Action (feat. Swords of Sanghelios)

Quick sketch of a Covenant Elite getting a nasty surprise! (Yes, there’s supposed to be an exaggerated distance here to mimic launching NPCs in Halo’s games with the energy sword).

Some of the foreshortening here is a little wonky, but overall your perspective is improving quite a bit. I don’t know enough about the Halo lore to comment on the accuracy of any of the characters within (I know the Master Chief does the pew pew and the Covenant gets their onions rings destroyed every five minutes), but I have to assume they are as close to the source material as a graphite pencil with no sketch work can get.

Keep up the good work!

Yeah, I need to work on that. The background Elite and ODST got drawn before the blue Elite, so that’s the main reason the blue one looks funky.

Why does the didact have kitty ears?

The odst looks like a dwarf.

Well, Elites are on average 7.5 feet tall, so most people look like dwarves next to them. The guy in the foreground is supposed to be wearing an Elite Minor helmet, but I’m still not particularly great at drawing those.

This is a really awesome artwork. The energy sword looks a bit squigly. Is everything alright? I ask because there are ways to draw the weapons wish some polishing

The blade deactivates when the wielder drops it, so it was supposed to be the bits of plasma fading midair.
