I haven't played the game that much, but the concept art that i've seen has been kicking my ass.. I guess that would be a good investment.

It should read "The Art of Halo: Condensing a Virtual World into a corridor."

HA HA HA HA HA HA! Awesome. I do have to say though, it's a pretty fun game.

Yeah I bought it from Electronic Boutique about 3 weeks ago actually....I sort of figured you guys knew about it already so I didn't post it.



There are some artwork in there from Mr Goodbrush. So its a really good snatch at about CAD$30

I took a look at it last night...the 2d wasnt all that great. The 3d stuff was good.

yeah, picked it up... really dissappointing if you've looked through the bungie.com galleries and goodbrush.com much.

i mean, really.. it doesn't go into much detail on anything, it just seems really sloppy and thrown-together. it's like the nda was never lifted and all the stuff they could show back in, um.. whenever halo came out is still the only stuff they're allowed to show.

I think the 2d portions are good enough. These are production art mind you. If you draw for a living under tight deadlines you can't afford to make everything that you do to be a masterpiece.

I actually wished the Doom 3 making-of book had more of Lead Artist Kenneth Scott's sketches or a peek at Kevin Cloud's sketchbooks. And more pics of the concept maquettes other id artists have done since the beginning.
