I dream of Master Chief often and thanks to the always amazing Adam Grumbo of the Halo costuming and prop site 405th.com, those dreams stand a chance at one day becoming a reality. Any time he sends me a new batch of pictures, whether they are of our favorite Spartan supersoldier or just a random marine, I think about how much I would love to get my hands on that man for one night of serious roleplaying. His latest batch of pictures, featuring himself as the Marine and Devin White as Master Chief, are all unedited and were taken just for fun in anticipation of a video that is currently in the works. He has given his permission for us to have a little photoshopping fun with them so if you feel like altering any of the images, whether it be to add explosions, bullets, or the random enemy, please feel free. Simply link your finished product in a comment and if there are enough photoshops, I will do an entire article featuring them tomorrow. Check back often as the gallery he sent is extensive and I plan on continuing to add pictures throughout the day.

I personally don’t like the pepakura armor because it doesn’t look nearly as good as this, but I’ve been slowly working on it. I have trouble making time for it. I’d much rather be outside or at work than making some armor -_-

Y’know, that’s not only the best MC armor I’ve ever seen… It’s damn near perfect.
Posted by Salen on October 2, 2008 at 5:46 pm
Hehe. Last pic totally reminds me of Tony Stark and the soldier from the Iron Man movie. Maybe it’s because TS and MC are both guys who wear big suits of metal or something.

Posted by bs angel on October 2, 2008 at 10:18 pm
I’m not sure how you’re coding but it had a beginning and an ending but no middle. I just took out everything and left the link only so it is fixed. :)

Hopefully something posts this time, looks crappy since I can only edit on paint(and I suck at editing anyway :P )

Here’s a quick one using my laptop touchpad. Yes, I’m to lazy to wrestle with my Desktop to use my tablet. Spaceballs fan’s unite! If you don’t like Spaceballs, you can thank the mysterious JVB for getting Spaceballs in my head.

This is a very late reply compared to when this blog post was made, so I doubt anyone will see it. But just in case, I just made this image today. I’m new at Photoshop so this is a very modest piece. I’m not that good at this sort of thing yet. I need a lot more practice. I hope somebody enjoys it. :)
