The Article and Concept Art Gallery has just been updated. Whilst we have yet to add our own article-related items, the official art keeps coming in.

We have some breathtaking new pieces of art including over half a dozen of new Halo: Reach campaign concept art pieces by the amazingly talented Mark Goldsworthy. Some of these pieces will make your jaw drop and really makes you wish current gaming hardware would catch up to the imagination of such great artists.

We also have some officially released art from the new Halo art book, The Great Journey: The Art of Building Worlds. Some of the art is new and some is not and some has never been seen before whilst other pieces are familar to most fans on the internet. The book itself is an art’s fan’s dream come true with over four hundred individual pieces of Halo art. Do yourself a favour and pick up a copy.

And finally we’ve posted some amazing concept art for the unpublished and sadly cancelled Halo MMO by the artist Dylan Cole and Ensemble Studios. Say what you want about the direction the MMO was heading into when it got cancelled but it is clear that Cole really had the Forerunner look and feel nailed down.

All units! We need more experiments like Halo Wars.

Is time travel the answer to a ten year old question?

Why I hate and love Waypoint and how it must evolve for future Halo games.

A look at the connection between the Gravemind of the Halo trilogy and a civilization that existed far before even the mighty Forerunner Ecumene.

The recent Deus Ex ads “controversy” got me thinking…

A quick look at the concepts behind Halo 4.

We have just launched our new gallery.

We hope to make the gallery the biggest and most complete reference point for all officially released Halo concept art and we’ll also be using it for any special images featured in future articles. Right now the gallery is incomplete but we’ll constantly update it as we hunt down more official work.

We have a handful of original panorama images with plans to include more in future in addition to special Halo images captured for our articles.

Just a note that we’re catching up on archiving the Halo Bulletin as we’re a little behind at this point. We have a few surprises coming up shortly, so stay tuned. And clear up the post-HaloFest depression by catching a summary of events in our HaloFest summary page.

A special thanks to to Kete at The Running Riot for allowing Slightly Live to crash the RiotFest party.
