The release of Halo Infinite was highly anticipated for many reasons, not least of which was the inclusion of a new campaign starring the Master Chief. Before its launch in December, players had waited over six years for a new mainline Halo to play. Fortunately, the campaign featured in Halo Infinite was worth the wait for many fans. While it had its share of issues, many praised it as a return to form for the series. Recently, one gamer decided to pay homage to the Master Chief’s latest adventure in a piece of stunning artwork.
In a post on Reddit, a user known as Mooreshots shared several pictures of a diorama they completed. According to the artist, they had wanted to create an action-packed scene based on the Halo Infinite campaign. In the pictures, the Master Chief was shown running through a stone archway while carrying a wounded soldier over his shoulder. A pair of Marines flanked the Spartan in the diorama while several Banished enemies, specifically a Grunt and Jackel, pressed the attack. In addition, the artist even managed to include an explosion behind the Master Chief.
Beyond sharing a picture of the finished product, Mooreshots revealed several details about the artwork. According to the Reddit user, they took an in-game screenshot from the Zeta Halo installation to use as a background for the diorama. While the project was mostly finished, they planned to go back and take another picture of the scene on their Samsung Note 20 Ultra, except this time they were going to go outside to utilize natural light. Furthermore, they wanted to add some additional lighting and depth of field effects to the image to make it appear more realistic.
Since Mooreshots posted this diorama featuring the Master Chief, numerous members of the Halo community on Reddit have weighed in. With over 1,000 upvotes in only a couple of days, many were impressed with the scene created by the artist. Among the comments from players, some thought the explosion included in the diorama added to the intensity of the action. “I like the fire. Very epic,” KL808 said. Following the completion of this project, it will be interesting to see if Mooreshots decides to create more locations based on Halo Infinite. In addition, the campaigns of previous games in the series are teeming with other potential scenes to recreate in diorama form.
It is often exciting to see passionate fans design creations based on the Halo games. Besides this impressive Halo Infinite diorama, another fan recently painted a miniature version of a Halo ring. As players continue to revisit some of the Master Chief's greatest adventures, it seems like only a matter of time before even more artwork based on the series is shared with the community.
Halo Infinite is available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
