Highlights
- A piece of Halo artwork called "WARTHOG RUN" draws comparisons to Genndy Tartakovsky's style, sparking fan discussions and excitement.
- Fans appreciate the vibrant colors, dynamic shapes, and composition of the art.
- Enthusiastic fans want more Halo content that resembles the artistic nature of the original Clone Wars series, hoping for a similar-looking spin-off game or wanting to see the art become a Fortnite loading screen.
A piece of artwork in the Halo subreddit from a user named ToastyGhostey, titled "WARTHOG RUN," has sparked discussions among fellow fans due to its resemblance to a classic Star Wars show. Long-time Halo fans are reminded of the style of renowned animator Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of "Samurai Jack" and animator of The Clone Wars, after seeing the fan art.
The Halo games are first-person shooters and often considered some of the hardest games Microsoft has published. Set in a futuristic science fiction universe, the games follow Master Chief, a super-soldier known as a Spartan, as he battles the Covenant and other threats. In the Halo series, a Warthog is a versatile all-terrain vehicle used by the United Nations Space Command (UNSC) for military operations. Both are key aspects of the Genndy Tartakovsky-like artwork shared by ToastyGhostey, with some commenters drawing direct comparisons to the original Star Wars: The Clone Wars, an animated series that revolves around the galactic conflict between the Republic and the Separatists.

A frightening enemy type in the Halo series is the Flood, and here is a ranking of every form from weakest to most powerful.
In the Reddit post, users began talking about the potential of a Halo animated series or graphic novel with Tartakovsky at the helm. Many of them believe it would elevate the franchise's content to new heights, with other users expressing dissatisfaction with the current Halo show and suggesting that something in Tartakovsky's style would provide a significant improvement. Obviously, no such project is in development, though it is easy to see the appeal.
Appreciation For The Clone Wars-Style Halo Art
Beyond comparisons to Tartakovsky's work, users appreciate the art's vibrant colors, dynamic shapes, and overall composition. Some shared their hopes for spin-off Halo games in this style or even this art piece becoming a loading screen for Fortnite, which is viable since that game already has a Master Chief skin. Others admired the artwork's practical appeal, such as its suitability as a wallpaper. Overall, the comments showcased a range of perspectives, from artistic appreciation to practical considerations and playful banter.
Despite the diverse range of comments, one common theme is evident: fans want to see more Halo content featuring Master Chief. Specifically, there's a shared enthusiasm for Halo content in the same artistic nature of the original Clone Wars animated series. While such a project is purely something fans desire at this stage, the overwhelming response to this artwork suggests that such a project could be a hit.
