Full Circle
Years ago I had an idea of a Halo-inspired card game, so I set out to make a concept of what I envisioned such a playing card to look like, down to the mechanics, the sorts of cards that would be in play, and how they would function.
If I had the resources available to me, I could theoretically customize and pose a Spartan/Elite model on a 3D program and easily import them into a card as a PNG file. However these card was made purely as proof of concept (perhaps I should approach 343 Industries with a prototype, that would be cool!)
I intend on creating Armory and Map cards too, so maybe eventually I'll have a full playable deck...
Full Circle is what I would have imagined a Halo company post-Bungie to look like in some alternate Universe. Maybe a Halo-centric YouTube channel or something? Dunno.
The title comes from the opening title screen of the last mission of Halo 3, "Halo".
Concept of what I would imagine a Halo-inspired card to look like featuring a Spartan. The designs feature aesthetics from Halo 3, Reach, and ODST.
Elite variant, with Covenant aesthetics.
Ah yes, the Chief.
I based the background off of Halo 2's boxart. You may also notice that the Superintendant AI's expression signifies the card's rarity.
I even went a step further and had an actual trading card of one of the early stage versions of the Spartan card made. I think it came out alright!
Though it was around $13 to learn that you should be printing in CYMK format, not RGB!
Also it uses the old Full Circle logo that looks more like "Full Ircle", haha.
I didn't (and still very much don't) like the name "The Master Chief Collection", so I came up with an alternate title, Halo Legacy. Here was my attempt at what I more or less imagined the boxart to look like.
And here is an alternate boxart featuring our two favorite heroes in Halo.
