Art Fail Friday

Fail

In response to Halo 3: ODST‘s release, I give to you the collection of fail I have gathered this week. I had a hard time finding things that were absolute fail, as many who are art-challenged won’t even attempt to draw something as difficult as ODST armor. However, some people are relentless.

My not so bad first discovery. An ODST staring at the sky looking for answers. Where am I? What happened? Where is everyone? Why am I guarding these giant yams?

NOOOO GOKUUU! My first thought about my second discovery was, “Super Saiyan Goku wearing a beanie, surprised at being struck in the head with a blue dragon ball.

Actual description: The artist in ODST armor getting stuck with a plasma grenade.

On top of the lame concept (why depict yourself failing?), the artist is using 1st grade art techniques. Ball point pen outline? Check. Sloppy ass coloring (what, you STILL can’t stay inside the lines)? Check. Basic geometric shapes? Check. His head is reminiscent of the ice cream cones I drew as a kid. You know, the triangle with the semi-circle on top? Yeah, you know what I’m talking about.

His expression is what kills me the most. His mouth agape, one eye opened wider than the other, shoulders drawn up to his ears… er, well, where his ears should be, anyway. His expression says  ”UH-OH”, as if his mom just caught him looking at porn. Comical, yes. Fitting for knowing that in less than 3 seconds, your head will be obliterated, no.

Um....

Ahhh, now for the 3rd and final installment.

If this wasn’t labeled as an ODST so much, I would have thought it was Samus Aran wearing a neck brace.

Not sure if there is much more I can say about this one. It seems the UNSC will recruit anyone, including rectilinear giraffes with completely round heads who are forgetful of their role in life. ”I’m a what? An ODST? Oh, okay. Yeah, it’s written on my chest. I forgot.”
