I used the Master Chief done by Madame Tussaud's as reference.



It is done in TegakiE, an online imageboard where EVERYTHING must be drawn, and I have recently been spending extensive tracts of my time there. TegakiE rivals Paint in its complexity, that is to say, its pretty simple. This isn't finished, and needs more teal, I know. Took me about 1/2 an hour.

O_o that's pretty impressive.

Thank you! I am trying to claw my way up in the TegakiE popularity lists.

Very nicely done, elrune! Did you use a tablet or a mouse for that? Moved to Graphics, btw.

Mouse, and sorry. Couldn't find graphics.

Update:
It has a background, more detail and better shading now.

Looks great. I'd buy a print for $10.

Google "poster printers".
That should find some near you.

Most do it for around $25-36 AUS for an A1 size sheet, so I guess that could be around $16 for you Americans.

Most allow you to upload photos, so that image is all you need. Good luck!

it doesn't look at all bad or pixelated blown up to like 600% so that's a plus for poster considerations.

Mmm. Plus they blur it cleverly so it doesn't offend overlymuch.
And there aren't any sharp lines to be ruined by blurring.

Actually if I wanted to, my aunt has a poster printer I can use.

That's a pretty good Master Chef drawing

Thanks, lol.

I also drew Alucard, of fame from my avatar, from Helsing, and the Heavy, from the "Cry Some More" meme, from TF2.

These look really cool. I might have to use them as textures for portraits in maps.

I just drew the Ark twice, from Halo 3.
Probably suggest you ignore the messages in between. Its a messageboard, after all.
Its from two sources, obviously.
