So, I posted this message as a reply on another thread, but I felt deserves repeating.

A year or more ago, Halo Studios was in need of a Lead Concept Artist via a post made on LinkedIn. I immediately posted Old school Bungie and Halo lead concept artist Isaac Hannaford’s name to suggest consideration for the role but they somehow ended up not hiring him. It felt like a no-brainer.

@FrozenOnyx Me too. It just boggles my mind.

@GamerTrain01 1 year ago HS was looking for a lead concept artist and had every opportunity to hire old school Bungie Halo art lead Isaac Hannaford, but passed on him for some reason.

Old School Bungie, Halo 3 DLC Work we did on Orbital. Level Design by Tyson Greene, Architecting by Frank Capezzuto (a great mentor) and I did the environment finishing work.

At the time it was the first map which utilized nearly 100% normal maps, high poly to low poly and custom modeled texture strips. Previously the shaders were only allocated to character models in that pipeline. It was a controversial decision we made because there was fear that too many textures loaded into memory would break it. Luckily it worked and from that point forward the rest of the Environment artists had a little more freedom to explore more high fidelity visuals (for the time).

@st_eme @Kashiiera Can attribute that tower to Frank Capezzuto’s sensibilities.

@MaroonMOffical I wish I could tell tbh it’s been so long.

[Milton Cadogan @MiltonCadogan]

@TaiifoxEmperor That will warm Frank’s heart!

@akiman7 Akiman, the one thing I have always loved most about this illustration is the suggested indirect lighting on Ryu’s cheek plane.

@enfu You know it!

@Aegis_Mind I’ll try to share more in the future!
