You need better tools.

PSP or Photoshop.

First has shareware version and is said to be handier.
The later is all powerfull.

Use layers - the blends will show you what they are....

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Indeed. :)

Dude, is that Halo 1 or 2? It's got depth-of-field, which is in H2, but the corner says just Halo...

Am I the only person to notice the back to front writing at the bottom of the image? That really needs taking care of :)

Stick the big Halo sign over the top of it :D

Strykefucius say: He who say one does not need tools, already has them.

You try running five years on software last released for Windows 95 and then tell me it's all about skill.


Anyway. Looks okay. Nothing complex, but then image editing shouldn't be anything complex. You didn't screw it up in any dramatic function, and the composition's pretty nice the second time around now that you've gotten that damn title out of the middle of the ****ing image. Now try simulating that cool half-wireframe effect with the model.:D

But I thought the assault rifle was different in Halo2.  It looks like a spuced-up Halo shot to me.  Plus, Master Chief is not bump mapped.
