Every month in The Gallery, we have a new thread for people to submit their own Bungie fan art. You’ll need to link your submission in that thread and at the end of the month we will gather the top submissions, host them and post them in a top story with all due credits. Yes, you will get mad street credz.
The guidelines are pretty standard. No limitations on size (we’ll host the original file, but we will likely shrink it to 350px wide in order to display it properly on our page). Content... no pr0nz. I don’t care if it’s Bungie related, we’re not hosting pr0nz. Other generally unacceptable items include: gratuitous gore, copyright infringement and/or using others’ work without permission. Outside of that, anything goes. You can submit a creation in paint that took you 2 seconds, but we’re not going to feature it on the site (unless you’re Frankie). We’ll be featuring the best of a particular batch. We’re not limiting ourselves to a certain amount of submissions per posting, if a piece should be featured then it will be.
You should really only submit new art. If you've created art in the past, please don't submit it. I know there's a lot, LOT of good stuff out there already, that's why we're doing this. But we can't have older pieces submitted or we could go on forever like that. Please only submit new works. We're not asking for exclusivity either. Go ahead and post them to all the usual blog, forum or the HBO Misc Art secion as you please.
ONLY SUBMIT YOUR OWN WORK. Why would you submit someone else's work? It's their work, they can submit it.
In your post you must have A) the title of your piece, B) the name you'd like to appear with the piece. In fact it'd be best if you did that in the filename as well, "ThePieceNamebyMyName.jpg" if possible.
If I have to log in to a service to see your piece, it's not going to get done, so don't host them on myspace or whatever.
Please do not submit more than one or two pieces at a time. If you made a whole bunch, then pick your favorites and either wait for next month or just link the rest of them in case people are interested.
Disclaimer: We’re not soliciting this artwork to be used for profit or in any commercial capacity by Bungie Studios. We are simply looking to give Bnet users a place to submit their artwork and ultimately to highlight and give the best of it a home.
Also, yes, I skipped a month, but only in name. I decided to name the update for the month in which it is posted, not the month from which the pieces were gathered.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] sgt smileys we should make a group for all the artists to use to continue or display after Bungie gets through with the art submissions.. a place where your art can be criticized maturely
by your peers. we could do quicker contests and more.... any thoughts? if we do, i copy-write this idea. [/quote] I'm in. 100%. PM me if you really want to get started on this, because I am so down. -

This is a concept piece I did, based in the Halo universe, of battle armor. It's called Long Range Hostile Expeditionary Armor, or [url=http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs14/i/2007/001/9/d/LRHEEA_by_boost22.jpg] LHREE [/url] for short. By Lugarsh

Thanks!! I'd like to think she's the equivalent of a playgirl sent in to keep the troops happy, dressed up in the sparten themed outfit, it's not exactly war defense attire when all your soft squishy bits are on display!! And she's probably slightly insane too. Just so everyone knows, the battle rifle picture is a model placed into Photoshop, and is the only unoriginal piece of the image - I just recoloured it and added effects to it to make it part of the image, the original file is by Flamingbs on Deviantart ; http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/28007014/?qo=5&q=Battle+Rifle&qh=boost%3Apopular+age_sigma%3A24h+age_scale%3A5 Permission was asked to use the file though don't worry! I just thought he deserved to credit, because I don't like drawing mechanical stuff!! Thanks, Starspinner. Here's the pic so you don't have to go back a page - http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/camillabaker/SPARTAN.jpg [Edited on 1/1/2007]

Hey Luke that's a really nice sketch! You could try making the elite's hand bigger to make it look more menacing tho. Can't wait to see the finished version!

[url=http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs15/i/2006/364/c/e/Revelaed_by_boost22.jpg]Revealed[/url] by Lugarsh A charcoal sketch I did from one of the "Starry Night" scenes. I think I did fairly well, except for the explosion. It's hard to do an explosion like the one in the commercial in just black and white. I really needed more colors for it. I need me a Wacom tablet. Anyways, enjoy and criticize if you feel the need.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SEspider Great job everyone. The submitted art are getting better and more original. I already see I'll have a LOT more competition Next month. >_< But that's a good thing. ^_- Anyway, This is NOT for the contest so don't worry. It's acturally for Halo2:PC and Halo:CE as a playable Character. I'll not go into detail. Head over to H.B.O.'s Froums to find out more info. Just thought I'll share it with everyone here as well. Please give thoughts and suggestions. This WILL be avalible for free in a few months. [url=http://img81.imageshack.us/img81/1706/s3helmetpreviewwy9.jpg] Spartan3 [/url] [/quote] nice!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Oshovah Title: Cornered Artist: Gareth Johnson [url]http://www3.telus.net/tw6/gareth/mccornered.jpg[/url] While I'm here, I'd just like to say that Halo is not only a great series of games and a terrific story, but it's also an amazing work of art. I don't know if a video game can be called art, but all the art that has gone into making the games is absoluely stunning. The art of Halo is my main influence and source of inspiration as an artist. Thank you to all the artists at Bungie of Halo 1, 2, and 3, for making such an incredible collaboration of art.[/quote] hot damn, that and "Just another Fans" Cortana get my votes.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] ElephantDropBomb Hey this is my first post here. I'm a huge fan of Halo and have been meaning to get some digital paintings up (dont have much time with school and all). But Christmas break is just around the corner and I should be able to get some of the images in my head onto these boards. Digital Painting *edit* (Refined The Chief a bit. Make sure you click to enlarge, for some reason the thumbnail doesnt always show) [url]http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/44363938/[/url] OR try Imageshack if DeviantArt is acting up: [url]http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/2233/gutsbyelephantdropbombkf7.jpg[/url] Title: Raining Brute Name: ElephantDropBomb[/quote] That's a sweet drawing. Reminds me of the image used for the insane difficulty level in GoW.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] BlkBullet23 I agree with the art in the halo series and it too, has inspired me to draw more better and stick with art. By the way how long did this piece take you? and what did you use? I think that this piece is good. How can i get a piece of art set with a link?[/quote] I took a few months on and off to finish the digital colouring, like maybe three or four. But it wasn't like all day everyday, more like an hour or two every few days. It was really tedious work trying to make it look good, doing all the little nooks and crannies, so I didn't get very far very fast and therefore wasn't very motivated. I used Photoshop to do all the colouring over a drawing I did in pencil. You need to host your image file somewhere to post a link to it. There are some free hosting sites out there, like [url=http://photobucket.com]Photobucket[/url], that you can just sign up an upload pictures to. Then you just post its link on here and there you go.
