Today (March 7th) is my birthday so I thought I’d celebrate it this year with some personal art of my interpretation of Zo Resken, the former Prophet of Clarity from the novel Halo: Broken Circle, as he is one of my favorite Halo characters.
Sadly, the book never gave much of a description for his appearance, nor his clothing. All I had to go on was his title as a Prophet and that he was described as “fairly young”, but since the San’Shyuum are my fav Halo alien species, I’ve nerded out on their lore and had a good idea of how to go about filling in the blanks along with my own personal preferences.
And this all started out because after finishing Halo: Infinite’s campaign, I was so impressed with the Forerunner architecture in the game, I wanted to create a neat background and figured Zo would be perfect to include to kick start me being back in a Halo mood again.
As mentioned before though, I’ve often been very hesitant to post a lot of my San’Shyuum art. I adore them, but most do not so I never felt like I had much reason to post to potentially only get hateful comments towards them/my artwork. I think I’ll be changing that bad habit moving forward, though.

Thank you, and yup! I actually partially cannibalized the station from a different unfinished illustration I started working on of The Refugee a few years ago, and turned it into a hologram for this drawing. It's part of a mini personal Halo project that HFalcon is also apart of. I've picked it up again to mess with on the side since I've been in such a Halo mood lately.
Oh, wow that truly means a lot! He's one of my top all time fav characters so knowing others like him too is something real special. I've sketched out so much of the San'Shyuum and Zo over the years but I'm always real reluctant to share it since the Prophets always get so much hate. Comments like yours help a lot in knowing if I share them, I'm not the only one who might enjoy it. ❤
It's my pleasure, and I thank you so much for taking the time to tell me how you feel!
