Humanity could never hold out against the covenant when faced with such an opposing force. It would quickly come to the realization that humanity was nothing more than to be crushed insects under paw. Even if they chose to fight against such a large opponent, each battle would end in the same way, domination and enslavement of human forces, and there was little much they could do to change that fact.
SOOOO, I've been trying my best to force myself to try other methods of shading. For the longest time, I've had an idea on how I wanted my paintings to come out, to see all those beautiful brush strokes upon a canvas, and to show detail through expression NOT zooming in 2000 percent to work on these small details. This time around I wanted to ease myself out of line work so I kept it there, but dulled at least~ Although I think there is still much work to be done, I feel this is probably my closest (public) representation of how I want my painting to show!
I'm planning to do more of this in the future, and I hope you enjoy my weird attempts haha
Also, Ignore that these creatures do not look like jackals/Skirmishers. I wanted to use them as more of a reference rather than copy them exactly, looking for more of a reptilian look than anything~

Oh my hecking gosh! Woot bud, it was already incredible for one thing to watch you go through the process of making this, but to see it go from the process to completion in such a quick amount of time? It is again just too incredible.
Seriously you went above and beyond and this artwork here looks like something that I could have framed in my room and have people say woah is that an official Halo artwork? It's just that good, because you put so much time into making all the detail come out beautifully well done, if not more than that. I'd say even masterfully done. You are an incredible artist Pave. There's so much more that I could say that I may not have the words for. The colors are rich, the focus is on all the right points from the tank to those giant paws and the grinning jackals, the sheer abject fear that you can see in the movement of the human soldiers, and the way you did the lighting of a battleground that's more of a stompfest. It is just too cool.
With all that said, the jackals were already intimidating and overpowered enough, just make them bigger and stronger with giant beam rifles and they could wipe out entire invasions! It just feels real but also like a ton of fun.

Well thank ya Dialuca ^^ I definitely tried my absolute best with this piece and there were a ton of iterations (like you saw when watching lol.) And yeah, it was definitely a ton of fun~
But ye! I got a long road ahead of me, but I'm feeling better about painting this sort of way now, so I hope to have more of these types of pictures in the future!

Oh my goodness. This is just simply breathtaking! You definitely spent so much time and effort into this and it paid off SO well! The details, the shading the overall colors of this artwork is SO well done! I'm bad with words, but just know that you've truly outdid yourself with such an amazing piece like this!!
there's a grenade in that level which gives you a stationary turret with a set amount of HP;
no it's not the brain one, it's just like a regular grenade that deploys a turret with a set amount of HP. It's not the "shoot me" kind either, but NPC's that are hostile will still try and take it out; you know the one I'm talking about, right?

Reminds me of Halo for some reason
i think you might get inspired a lot by the illustrators and concept artists for the Halo game series!
(i quickly looked up on google some Halo illustrations, i'm not sure if he worked for the company or not) Ignacio bazan-lazcano:

aswell as the Bungie company which for what i read was one of the biggest contributors to the serie in terms of art:

(they seem to also have participated in Destiny 2, which still fits the vibe you're going for as far as i can tell!)

Well, in reality, the big aliens would have won until people started shooting at them en masse from afar with air-to-ground missiles. Or I saw that the Soviet army had a 152-millimeter-caliber self-propelled gun. Something like the ISU-152. After a shot from such a small gun, the alien would have lost an arm or its head.
