Halo on a DS – another view
leprecaun90210 noticed a writeup on HaloInformer, speculating about the Halo on a Nintendo DS story that popped up a couple of days ago.

Our Newest Featured Artist – Veegie
It’s been a little while since we added an artist to our Gallery pages – but today, we’re proud to announce a new home for Veegie’s Halo-related artwork. Veegie likes to render stuff – but he does a sizeable amount of 2D work on the result; what you see, often, is a Halo image that looks like we wish the game could look. (Of course, we’ll need to wait for the Xbox 1440 before that’s going to happen…) Browse what’s there, and we’ll be sure to let you know when the collection grows!(Louis Wu 23:29:18 UTC)
