I recently completed my first fan piece for Halo 4 as a 2d digital painting which I was quite proud of (http://blindshift.deviantart.com/art/20140113-Salvation-428692027).

But as I'm currently working on my animation reel for a current application I thought I might try to take it a little bit further - so I animated it!

Take a peek and let me know your thoughts.. watch it in HD

The music was done by a friend, in all honesty the point of the exercise was to simply bring life to a 2d painting/concept and I wanted to see how successfully I could do it. It has been quite fun and I'll certainly be doing more in the future.

Cheers!
