This Image is my personal tribute to Bungie and their efforts to bring us the bets game in history.
Rarely has a game ever had a rich and compelling story that moves you so.
I recreated one of the scenes wich i think would have moved alot if it wouldve been shown ingame.

Humanities first contact with a race who wishes only to obliterate it from the face of the Universe.
The whole colony of Harvest, lost.
Its Oceans boiled away, its surface but glass.

A few humans manage to escape, some of them will live to avenge their fallen brethen on harvest.
May their ashes forever drift in silence of the void.

Hooooooooooooooooooot.

I really can't think of a way to improve it...I'd like to see a version without the desaturation zones/lines though.

9/10.

I think there should be some human interaction in the piece. I'm seeing many missiles in the air, but I think there should be some sort of real resistance from the humans, if only a couple ships trying to make it off the planet, some making it, some getting blown up, etc etc.

I'm not entirely sure what the beams are that are hitting/coming from the two covenant ships in the center of the planet. What are they shooting/who is shooting them?

Otherwise, great piece. Keep it up.

If I remember correctly, Harvest was the first place the Covenant attacked...so I can't imagine the humans would have much resistance, if any at all set up.
2525

* The UNSC makes first contact with the Covenant at the UNSC colony world Harvest. The Covenant destroy the colony without warning or provocation.
2531

* Battle of Harvest. The UNSC and Covenant meet in ship-to-ship combat for the first time; the Covenant are outnumbered and outgunned, nevertheless the battle is a close victory for the Humans.
So yeah, 6 years before they even fought back really.

Thanks to Tural/Halo Wiki for the quotes.
