A new Halo-themed website called abstrakt popped up last week and is dedicated to the “art from inside the halo 3 engine”. Yankeyhotel, the person behind not only abbstrakt but also haloanyone (which unfortunately hasn’t been updated in a while, perhaps he is switching his focus solely to the new site) has started taking pictures within the game that have a more artistic slant. The images have not been manipulated in any way, which is really quite amazing when you see some of the shots he has captured.
Every Friday he will be putting up images from the community so you can try your hand at it as well. Last Friday he featured TTL Demag0gue (the image above is his), who just happens to be a clanmate of mine. Yeah, I totally know him. I’m pretty sure my coolness factor just skyrocketed. I should get his autograph. *goes into fangirl mode and runs off to hunt down Demag0gue
Could you get any cooler? ^_^
Fine, + 2 coolness, k? : )
Only if the featured artist is someone else I know next week. Then I will have another increase in the coolness rating. Go get some cool images Silver!
wow, thanks a ton for the link. yeah I am a complete slacker as far as http://www.haloanyone.com is concerned. I actually posted my last post there this morning :(. There are just too many great blogs about halo, i was behind from the beginning.
I really always wanted something unique, which I think I have with abstrakt. I am so pumped so many people are getting into it. I can’t wait to see what people send me to post on Friday!
[...] by far the most shocking and exciting is the link from Hawty McBloggy. Who by chance would have it a good friend of TTL Demag0gue. “Yeah, I totally know him. I’m [...]
Thats pretty cool. I know I took some shots that were purely for my enjoyment only while I was doing campaign. One was of the mountain, another was some random picture in the sky that I didn’t notice until I went through the film. Then the other day Silver and I were on Valhalla when we noticed butterflies in the grass! I plan on going back and getting a snapshot of that. LOL-people in MM were annoyed I’m sure!
Nice work Yankeyhotel, I like those shots! I look forward to more. And I’ll see what I can come up with too!
I actually spend more time in theater mode than anywhere else in Halo 3, it seems. Each and every replay offers hundreds, if not thousands, of opportunities to create wonderful screenshots and videos. I love the fact that you can retrieve your shots from bungie.net, too. Saves me the cost of screen capturing software and materials!
