New Year, New Updates

Hey everyone, first I would like to apologize that I've haven't been posting that much on here. Mainly because I've been working on that Halo animation that I was talking about, and of course school. Also I kinda forgot about this blog thing as well, so my apologies.

Now since that's out of the way, I'm gonna tell you guys the good stuff. So anyways, back in November of 2019 I uploaded the trailer of the Halo animation AKA Halo In A Nutshell, (which you can watch bellow here)

The funny thing is, this trailer took about two to three weeks to make. I had to (unfortunately) rush it since I only had one day of break from bowling. Which kinda sucks. but I won't do that again next time.

The second thing is, since a new Half-Life game came out (that's officially made by Valve) called Half-Life Alyx, which I'm super excited about. But sadly it's meant for the VR, and since a VR headset is so damn expensive I can't even afford one, especially since I'm kinda broke too lol.

When the trailer dropped, I decided that I would make a short little parody of the trailer just because why not. (you can watch it bellow here as well)

And last but not least, I finally made some ACTUAL art for once yay!!!!

It's basically some fan art that I made for a Half-Life mod called Half-Life Year of The dragon, it's a mod that basically replaces Gordon Freeman as Spyro, which is totally fucking awesome! Especially since I'm a fan of both of the franchises. You can download the mod here.

Here's the fan art in all of it's glory!

Anyways, that pretty much it. I will start to post here more often from now on, since I need to start using this blog more frequently XD

And also by the way, since I'm still here I recommend you guys to follow me on Twitter since that's where I'm usually active 24/7 all the time. Just a suggestion.

See you guys later! :D

Halo CE Character Models And Got Featured On Halo Spotlight!

Since I'm working on the Halo animation (or aka) "Halo In A Nutshell" I made these character models that I am going to be using for the animation. I was working on these for quite a while now and I think they look pretty good, and if you guys are saying that these character models look like the ones from Hans Van Harken's "It's A Halo Thing" then you are exactly correct. But the thing is, these models are completely different and I also made these myself too. And also, my animation style is based off of his old animation style from back then, so that's why they looks so similar.

But anyways, here are the models in all of their glory!

And not only that but, these models got featured on the Halo Spotlight! (which you can look at here)

When I noticed that my submission was in there, I legit tried not to freak out in class XD

But anyways, that's pretty much it! I'm gonna try to work on the script and complete the rest of the character models. Stay tuned for more updates on here.

Back Again + More Updates

Man, it's been a while since I've posted anything on here huh?

Well anyways, I've came here to share a few things with you guys. So the first thing that I want to share is I'm working on a Halo parody animation, which will be named "Halo In A Nutshell". Basically "Halo In A Nutshell" is supposed to be the whole entire Halo game (Halo CE to specific)     with some funny moments here and there with my own style of humor. So far I've got done at least half of the backgrounds and also the character models too so that's fun.

Second thing is, I'm still working on the comic characters too, the second character is almost finished so stay tuned for that.

And the last thing is I'm gonna try to make some music since I got a MIDI keyboard for my birthday, and so far I'm really starting to like it! :D

Anyways that's pretty much it, stay tuned for more updates on here.

Zach Cooper

Alright guys, here it finally is! The main character of the Halo comic series

His name is Zach Cooper, he is a recent recruit who is joining  the USNC, he joined in the USNC because he wanted to fight for freedom, and because his other family members were part of the military as well. When he was young, he always wanted to become a soldier because he wnted to help is people out and do some good for humanity.

This is some concept art that I've made for a halo comic series that is called, Halo Fireteam Orion. The comic is about a recent recruit named Zach Cooper, he got sent to a base that is on a abandoned halo ring that is being used by the USNC, the covenant knew about this and they also started to build a base on it as well, and now both of the covenant and the USNC are fighting for the ring. And from there, Zach meets a group of guys named Simmons Reynolds, Tom Jenkins, and Jeffrey Robson. From there, the four get into crazy shenanigans and try to stop the covenant.

Well that's all I got for now, I'm going to try and post the rest of the characters when I'm finished with them.

Halo Comic Announcement + Other Updates

Alright so as I stated on my other post that I was working on a Halo comic series. I am working with the character concepts and such, and I am also working on the first character that I will be introducing, and it's also almost done as well! Yayy!!!

The Halo comic is going to be set during the Halo 2 era with a little bit of reach mixed into it as well (yes I know some people don't like reach but who cares) but it will be mostly Halo 2, so yeah. The comic is going to be about a new recruit joining the UNSC with three other guys that were already joined with the UNSC before, and the UNSC built a base on a halo ring that was abandoned by the covenant and so when the covenant heard that the UNSC was building a base on there as well, they decided to do the same thing and now the UNSC and also the covenant are fighting for the ring and so on.

Anyways a side from that I am also working on a Halo animation as well, right now I am currently working on the backgrounds, but I'm still not finished with them yet. But the good thing is that I got all of the character models done now so that's great.

Also I am working on some scenes for reanimated collabs such as a Bugs Bunny one (which is done since months ago), a Zelda CDI one, and I am also planning to join a Tom And Jerry as well.

Anyways that's about it, I'll try to keep you guys informed when I have some progress with both of the things.

Synth

Alright, so I know you guys may be asking what is this?

Well let me explain, so anyways this "thing" here is called a synth which is an open species made by a user on Twitter by the name of VaderSan and I happened to see these guys while going through my timeline, and so since it's an open species people started to make their own synth character, so I decided to jump on the band wagon too because why not?

Anyways, so I decided to make my own "character" and I gotta say, I like the way how it looks like! :D I've never made a full body drawing with the "realistic" art style and I'm impressed with myself and the way how it looks like!

I also like how these guys look like because they remind me of the elites from Halo, and they kind of look like robot raptors lol.

Well that's about it, I'm going to try and post more of my artwork here (even though no body even comes here) so yeah.

If you guys are interested about the ref sheet, here's the link for it

Halo Elite Bust

Well looks like I've FINALLY made something Halo related YAY!!!

Well anyways, This is basically just a bust (or aka a new profile picture) that I drew of my elite character, I know it looks a bit angry/ pissed off but that's just the way how I made it lol.

I'm also trying this new "realistic" style that I also used with my previous artwork that I made last time, and I actually like it! :D

And also one more thing, I'm actually planning to make a Halo comic series, so that's fun XD

I'll reveal more information about it soon, so stay tuned for that.

Spyro Fan Art + Trying Out Different Styles

So a few weeks ago I made some Spyro fanart and I thought of sharing them on here. The first two I  decided to try out a "realistic" type of design/ art style and I also drew them with a mouse, but the last one I drew it with my tablet and tried out a much more "cartoony design

Spyro the cool dragon (with shades on)

Second version (without the shades)

Lord Spyro himself

That's pretty much it, Which design looks better? The "realistic" one or the "cartoony" design?
