Artist's Comments

The High Prophet of Regret from the Halo series. This was a lot of fun.

A mix between his Halo Wars and Halo 2 design because I love his piercings and wattle so I had to add them.

He's smoking a modified Hookah-ish pipe because in the books he would smoke before a huge attack to calm his nerves and I loved the concept of drawing him like that.

One thing I'd like to change about this drawing is to make his skin darker as I drew it mostly based off of Halo Wars and before reading Contact Harvest and learning younger San 'Shyuum (Regret) have more brownish skin tones.

He is another character I love and couldn't resist drawing. If you've ever wondered why I do a lot of fan art, it's because the characters I draw usually mean a lot to me and I just have to draw them and show how much they mean to me while giving them the justice I feel they deserve. c:

I know he is a villain and most people hate the Prophets but please be respectful with your comments. Thank you and I hope you enjoy.

"I heard he possibly smokes in one of the books I've yet to read "

What is the title of the book?

You've done a really good job on this piece of art, even if he is a prophet. All your colors blend together very nicely, and his eyes are somewhat softspoken. :) Great work!

Well the first thing I notice is the skin texture is very well done. Since he's supposed to be between Halo Wars and Halo 2, it makes sense he'd be somewhat younger, and the way he is shaped and tone represents that nicely. It still has that reptilian feel to it, but looks smoother as well. The pipe is also a nice touch, as I could see a prophet have a machine of that nature either on their chair or near it, allowing for recreational activity after a council or something. Other then that, you did a nice job coloring the chair and robes in very "Covenant colors" sticking with mostly purples and greens, creating a rather cold feel to him. Great job here.

Very awesome! I love the detail. His eyes are full of menace. Wonderful job. I first got into HALO when a friend lent me his books. After that I had to get the games and the console. Again, you did a wonderful job at bringing this very awesome character to life.

You just made me go on a Halo lore binge.

I hate the games, love the lore. I can't play them worth a crap! XD
