So I'm on a pretty big Halo kick again and wanted to display my appreciation for the series by coming up with some fanart, but putting an anthro twist on it by featuring my aerospace marine shark character (See my gallery for several pieces featuring her), Jax Valkyr, in the context of a UNSC Marine. Propaganda and recruitment posters have always fascinated me, particular WWII ones, so I drew inspiration from those to create a faux patriotic poster designed to try and instil that same feeling amongst those in the Outer Colonies of UEG/UNSC space in the wake of the Covenant threat.

Put together with my usual blending of SL and Photoshop, and filtering and editing to give it this particular look and style.

Usual Second Life portions disclaimer: I do not claim to be the creator of any avatars, textures, sims used as backdrops/scenes or objects/accessories/props used in my photoart, unless explicitly specified. Those are the creations of very talented people, and any copyrights lie solely with those, and the credit for the skill in doing so. I claim only the talent and skill, such as it may be, in modifying my avatars and accessorising them from my Second Life inventory and creating characters, scenes and stories from them, framing the shots, editing them, applying artistic effects and creating any flavour text/themes/accompanying fiction, with the photos that I take.
