Halo Fans Very Much Embody That One "No One Hates Sonic More Than Sonic Fans" Meme.

We are all so fucked

While I have lots of issues with Halo 5, one of the things I absolutely love about it is the designs for the covenant. I have some issues like the Grunts' popped out eyeballs, or the Elites' designs carried over from 4. But I adore the look of the weapons and the ships. They are still very much in the spirt of the original designs but they have all been reworked and I really love the final result.

Thinking back on this post and learning more and more about the production of Halo 4 and 5 I can't help but feel frustration at the direction the series went. 343 as a development studio never seemed to fully come together behind the scenes. The studio that made Halo 4, 5, and Infinite really feels like 3 separate entities.

Its hard to pin a specific blame. Microsoft's history of poor choices in managing studios, poor leadership at 343, no consistant vision, or hell maybe just a few plain old bad ideas.

Idk, I am not a developer nor was I there when these things happened. But what I can say is that the state of Halo makes me sad.

For the past decade its really felt like its been 343 trying their hardest to succeed against all odds. So it hurts seeing them come so close to greatness only to fall short or in some cases drop the ball super hard.

Halo 4 is probably the piece of media that I have the biggest love/hate relationship with.

It feels so close to being something great but doesn't quite hit the mark.

Not to mention how its a game that was the start of a storyline/trilogy that didn't really go anywhere, leaving the feeling that it was the start of something special that never got a proper follow up

These are perfect.

Spread their names!

Halo 4 has such an overlooked/underappreciated score its almost baffiling.

This is amazing!

Another part of my Archie redraw series! With cover #3, this wraps up the original miniseries !

Timelapse of this is available on my Bluesky.

Some thoughts on this piece and on this issue below ⤵️

So, my initial plan was to do a Green Hill Loop, but incorporate more greenery and flora to actually make it feel like Green Hill and not just a basic grid. You can see a bit of that rough sketch at the very beginning of my timelapse.

But ultimately, I decided to stick to the abstract route and instead pulled directly from Sonic Mania for inspiration! I feel like nothing best captures that classic sonic aesthetic than that retro deco.

I also kind of found it fitting to pull inspo from Mania's OP for this one since Tyson Hesse mentioned before that this very cover was what inspired him to become an animator in the first place when discussing his cover for IDW #50.

I tried to fit as many Sonics as I could but ultimately skipped out on one, so there's 7 instead of 8 lol. I wanted to ensure that the "speediest" Sonic have his face covered by the quills of the Sonic still tapping his foot, as something I disliked about the original is the speediest Sonic overlapping the standing one. By all accounts, he should be Behind him and the other Sonics follow that suit, but if that particular Sonic did, his face would be covered. As a result, I compromised lol.

As for my thoughts on this issue!!!! I don't really have much haha. Ultimately, it's not going to be an issue I'm going to remember. It was just a fun silly issue, but there's not much there to really comment on. It was nice to see some more of Uncle Chuck though!!

With all that said, we're finally getting to the Actual series now and I can't wait ! <3
