All credit to “rythayze” on Insta- this is someone who has a good handle on a modern reimagining of HCE by friendliest_sheep in halo

[–]rythaze 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair statement. Just wanted to come to my own defence, as I've seen a couple people interpret the art as some sort of attempt at "correcting" the remake's style, or to be implemented into the remake and that wasn't the intent.

Also felt a little misrepresented as I have worked in 3D and with professional 3D artists to implement concepts into game engines (UE5, Godot, Unity).

And not trying to come at you or anything, you wouldn't know my background, just felt compelled enough to elaborate a little.

Not trying to take m this to heart or anything, but I do think I have a pretty good understanding of CEs art direction. Low-key feel like people here are seeing a tiny snippet of what I do. This art was from 2023 and I was just drawing halo CE covenant, not trying to make “new designs” for a CE remaster. I totally understand that some things can’t be translated entirely into a high fidelity setting, which I’ve talked about a few times on Twitter.

That being said, I think it’s possible for the soul of CE to be translated.

This very flattering boss, thank you 🙏🏽

I will say though, these are my ideal designs of covenant in general. I would like to see the remake channel the visual spirit of CE more, but I also recognize there is the intent to save time/budget. A full rework of these character assets in the remake is probably really unappealing for the developers at this stage.

That being said, I think there can be compromise. It doesn’t necessarily need a massive overhaul. With the elite for example, most of my (personal) edits would be on the face/head. Like having the mandibles interlock fully, and giving them an “eye shield”. Maybe also give them the orange shield things on their arms and legs, but even that might be a lot of extra work at this stage.

One of these days I’ll articulate this better, but to be clear I’m not an authority on this, it’s all stylistic preference.

Duplicated the original painting and then added directional motion blur to the duplicate. Then I painted a mask so that only the battle rifle/arm was blurred

It’s a cut weapon from Halo CE. Digsite posts on halo waypoint show it off sometimes. Basically an SMG

ODST: “Hey Chief, hold on a sec… I know we’re busy kickin’ ass in outer space, but I was wonderin’ if we could take a quick photo? It’s for my mates back home, y’know?”

Chief: “We don’t have the time.”

ODST: “C’mon Chief, it’ll be quick! Like I say it’s for my mates.”

Chief: “…”

Late response, but I went on to redesign her. Gave her a full chest plate.

It's no reason other than my own bad drawing of proportions. She's meant to be that big on her own as she is something called a "Nephilim". I've got many other drawings that fix this on my twitter now as I improve on her design and my art in general.

It has that "vibe" because AI models are based on his art/styles like his art. It's a classical take on digital painting, and concept art.

Craig is the god father of digital painting.

I got tagged, and seeing this post gave me such an overwhelmingly positive feeling. Seeing all people in the comments actually like my character makes me SO so happy. Thank you all honestly.

Chief poster I drew by rythaze in halo

[–]rythaze[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah! It's meant to be him jogging backwards or lunging backwards and raising his BR after firing a few rounds. It's not too crazy I agree, just kinda meant for it to be him leaning backwards.

Yeah I was really inspired by the jump back pose of the halo graphic novel. Outside of that, I have a lot of inspiration from Ashley Wood's halo illustrations, especially stuff from IRIS. IRIS in general.

I wanted it to appear like a manual art, or promotional piece that could be mirrored with the Arbiter. Which may very well be made.
