Visualizing the Halo Universe
From Postmortem:
For the past 8 months, Visualizing the Halo Universe has been collecting new fan artwork with the intent of fleshing out the less-seen corners of the Halo universe. What began as a contest has since evolved into a more open format for like-minded fans to share their visions with the community. Subjects have ranged from female Sangheili to Precursor orbital arches, and every three weeks a new round is posted for Halo fans to illustrate as they see fit. Each one follows a set theme, and this week Visualizing the Halo Universe has begun its tenth round, focusing on unique Flood combat forms.
Whether you’d like to participate or just want to peruse everything that’s been submitted so far, head on over to Visualizing the Halo Universe! There’s a lot to look at, and plenty more on the way!
