Thank you! Yep, Photoshop CS3 with a Wacom Intuos 5 tablet.

Uh, I guess I could if you want lol. Btw, this has nothing to do with Halo (Reach), but I am a big fan of the games.

Thank you! Hmm, maybe I'll consider expanding it lengthwise. I didn't think people would actually be using my drawings for their desktops. And I'll definitely keep that in mind for my future work. :)

Yay! Glad you like it :)
I too am jealous of so many other great artists out there and have a rather low opinion of my own work. But I think that jealousy can drive us to better ourselves as long as we don't let it defeat us.

Thank you! :)

I should clarify that this isn't meant to represent the message of the story. It's actually more so the opposite. The story seems to have a negative outlook on what people can or should be allowed to accomplish. I, however, believe people are capable of greatness, that there is a bright future for us. By what means would we be brought down? War, disease, natural disaster, etc. If we work together to find solutions to these problems (rather than fighting in pointless wars), there's no telling how far we may go. So the idea is that we do as they were doing in the story by building the tower, to reach for the greatest heights.

I should also clarify that I'm no expert on these writings. This is just based on my thoughts of the story.
