Spotlight: September 16, 2024
The September Spotlight is here! Join us for another gathering to celebrate community creativity.
Let's get right to it!
CRÈME DE LA CRÈME
IdealRonyL has been bringing Halo's ancient era to life with a series of fantastic pieces centered around the Forerunners and the ancient human Ancestors. His latest piece depicts Forthencho, the Lord of Admirals, on the bridge of his vessel in the vicinity of Charum Hakkor.
ArtistRyker captures a moment of dread we've all experienced!
Inspired by art by Lorraine McLees for the cover of the Halo: The Flood novel, Nobleclonetroop created this wonderful miniature.
AppoArsin was inspired by our latest Waypoint Chronicle—Halo: The Machine Breaks—which expands on a moment depicted in the Halo: Escalation comic series where a Promethean Knight saves Spartan Hoya from an attacking Zealot. As a result, we have this amazing piece!

AAAAAAAAHHHLOBA! marywutunes has introduced the Sangheili to a delicious new meal!
DIGSITE DOODLES
Over the last few years, the Digsite crew has been working hard to restore various things from the cutting room floor of old Halo games. Weapons, ambient life, enemies, vehicles, maps—you name it!
In celebration of these efforts, ClebMaher has put together a community art contest with the prize collection of Halo posters, The Art of Halo, signed copies of the 2022 edition of the Halo Encyclopedia, and a Legendary difficulty symbol-inspired fridge magnet. Have a gander at some of the stunning contributions.
COMMUNITY CALENDAR
The awesome folks of JumperScape have been working on a major project to create a community calendar full of Halo-specific events, from notable dates in the Halo universe to community birthdays, Easter egg days (such as when the Valhall wall has a new message), and more.
Gathered below are just a few of the amazing art pieces that have been contributed to this calendar.

GIRLS ALOUD
The boys are being silly! At least, that's what a prompt from Agent Strange on Twitter suggested, saying: "Fan art idea. Master Chief, Doomguy, and Isaac Clarke in a pillow fort that says "No Girls Allowed". Samus Aran is to the side looking unimpressed."
Agent Strange asked and did receive. We've compiled a few examples for your enjoyment below!
