yes that is the most generic thing to title a post about the Arbiter, I'm sorry, I love that line so much

I think we can all agree that the Arbiter and the Gravemind are one of the major things that make the Halo trilogy truly legendary, such a phenomenal character.

This art was done while I was playing Halo 3, I just finished Halo 4 recently and it really is sad how different the atmosphere is between games. (Halo 4 is still an incredible game by the way, I personally enjoyed the single player gameplay of 4 more than I did 3--not the multiplayer tho Halo 3 multiplayer is incredible) the Arbiter is just.... like, badass. Which is insane, how do you make two different playable characters that are just as cool as the other? They also compliment each other very well, the Arbiter is cool because of what you know about him, his backstory, and what he chooses to do moving forward. Where Chief is cool because of what you don't know about him, the way he's this faceless guy with a traumatic past who doesn't show much emotion. I absolutely love them being shipped and honestly I might do some ship art of the two.

Also, anyone noticed Arby's outfit is more.... form fitting than the other elites? At least in 3.

the Halo hyperfixation cooled down for a bit, took a break from Halo 3's campaign (which might be why the story didnt leave as much of an impact on me as 2's did) but now I'm super hyperfixated again please if you have Halo oc's start yapping about them in the comments I love Halo oc's

(oh and if you want my extended opinions on Halo 4 uh I made a scraps post about that recently https://www.furaffinity.net/view/64436841/ )
