Thanks
I can't draw worth crap so Photoshop is my next best bet.
'This is Not Your Grave' Was made for a Recon Contest that was hosted by Hawty McBloggy. The person had to recreate their most memorable Halo moment from halo 1 or 2 using a screenshot from Halo 3 as their base image. I went with a different approach then just some action scene by taking the scene from Halo 2 and adding my own version to it.
Everything in the image was custom made by me in photoshop (except the spartan of course). I used a lot of Gaussian blurs and layer effects to help with lighting. I actually have a layer-by-layer version of it here:
