Reach

Requested by .
Himself and his brother as United Nations Space Command Spartans in front of a modified UH-144 'Falcon' known as the UH-144/P 'Eye Falcon'. This version is a up-armored, up-engined version of the classic troop transporter.A major difference between the classic Falcon and the "Eye Falcon" is that the gun doors have been removed and the bird has a sliding doors in the cargo bay.

Also, it's gun system have been removed and instead a high-tech optics/camera and laser designator system has been installed in the front of the helicopter. Last but not least is the added capacity to do mid-air refueling trough a probe.

Gundrium is the one in the blue armor and holding the Sniper Rifle System 99 Anti-Matériel chambered in 14.5x114mm ammunition. His brother is the one in the orange armor and holding the M45 Tactical Shotgun.



So... it has been a while since I last did a "Big project". and boy this one was big.

This is the first time in several years I've drawn a helicopter with my own hands. Can't say it's 100% accurate but I tried my best.

I had to improvise a lot here since I'm not a HALO player.I made all the research trough the Halo Wikia and I used the pics there as reference. I tried to be as accurate as possible but when it came to printing the images so that I could have the references at hand, the quality got so downgraded and some details I had improvise. Like usual.

Nonetheless, I think this one turned out surpringly good. I'm quite happy with this. Painting Reach moons Turul and Csodaszarvas was not easy and I was at it for about two hours before I got something close to the actual deal.


Ahhhhh, I need a rest, drawing and coloring these can become a very tiring enterprise. Only three more requests left to do!!! I'm finally close to finishing the list! I'm so gonna get wasted to celebrate (Not really.... ).

Anyway, I hope you like this. I'll get to all your comments soon.

See'ya in the Battlefield!
