Description
My second attempt at Fanart from the game Halo showing a squad of Covenant Banshees on patrol. :)
Ok, the tech stuff. Terragen original render 5000x3750, the 'Halo' built in Wings 3D and rendered in Bryce 5.5. The Banshees were built in Wings as well, and rendered in Poser 6. All textures, planets, and postwork in Photoshop CS.
Thanks for looking in!

Fantastic! You truly captured the feel of the game!
WOW... I just played it... checked my email... and by random I found this image... love it, way cool !! really well done !!
For a minute I thought I was looking at footage from teh game itself. Very impressive. I'm not an artist myself, but a fan of digital artwork. I browsed your other stuff and like what you do with sunrises and alien worlds. I'm putting you on my favorites list. I'm interested as to where you'll be taking things from here on.
Wow...I've never played the game, but that doesn't make this any less impressive! This is a FAV for sure...sweet sci-fi work!!! V
Really top-notch work Orestes! Excellent showings in modeling, texturing, compositing, and of course the base TG work. All integrated marvelously. I'm really impressed. :)
Xlt wide view from this pov. Xlt pw, too - esp. on the sky!
WOnderful work. I have to say I think I prefer your last Halo image. This one overall has a better composition and placements/atmosphere work to your favor, but I liked the detail you got in the previous version. I really like this idea though, maybe you could try one where you're closer to the ground and looking more up?
Brilliant... You've cornered the market on Sci Fi .. this is stunning...
reminds me of some of Niven's stuff..
You sci-fi wacko... I love it!

I have no idea what it takes to do this but it looks really cool. I suppose that is the real test, after all. Bravo.
