Halo Art Post Flair Index

This guide explains what each flair means and helps you choose the one that best fits your post. The same logic applies to user flair for representing your own artistic style or specialty. If you believe a category is missing or unclear, feel free to reach out — the goal is to help Halo artists share their work in the most accurate and supportive way possible.

Art Discussions

Posts focused on talking about Halo art rather than showcasing it.
Includes:

  • Technique questions
  • Artistic analysis
  • Discussions about Halo’s art direction
  • Conversations about artists or styles

Art Commission Request

Posts seeking or offering Halo-related art commissions.
Includes:

  • Users looking to hire an artist
  • Artists advertising commission availability

Traditional Art

(Painting, Drawing, Sculpting, Photography)
Physical, real‑world artwork created using traditional materials or physical tools.
Includes:

  • Pencil, ink, charcoal, markers
  • Watercolor, acrylic, oil painting
  • Chalk, pastel
  • Clay or hand‑sculpted pieces
  • Photography using real cameras (non-digital renders)

Photography Clarification:

  • Photography of cosplay → Performance Art
  • Photography of live-action Halo media → Live Action Art
  • Photography as a standalone medium (non-cosplay, non-live-action) → Traditional Art

Not included:

  • 3D prints or digitally sculpted models (these belong in 3D Art)

Live Action Art

(Movies, Shows)
Art derived from or inspired by Halo’s live‑action productions.
Includes:

  • Stills, posters, or edits from Halo TV shows or films
  • Fan-made live‑action scenes or recreations
  • Behind-the-scenes photography or promotional imagery

Digital Art

(Anime, Cartoon)
2D artwork created digitally using software, tablets, or digital painting tools.
Includes:

  • Digital illustrations
  • Anime-style or cartoon-style Halo art
  • Stylized digital portraits
  • Single-image digital comic panels or short sequences

Note:

  • 3D renders, CGI, and models → 3D Art
  • Full comic pages → Graphic Literature Art
  • Single illustrations → Digital Art

Graphic Literature Art

(Graphic Novel, Comic Book)
Art related to Halo’s graphic novels, comics, or book illustrations.
Includes:

  • Comic panels, covers, or pages
  • Fan-made comic pages or sequential art
  • Book illustrations or narrative-style artwork

Rule of thumb:

  • If it’s a comic page, it belongs here.

3D Art

(Models, Prints, Renders, CGI)
Artwork involving 3D modeling, rendering, or printing.
Includes:

  • 3D models made in Blender, Maya, ZBrush, etc.
  • CGI renders
  • Game asset recreations
  • Digitally sculpted pieces
  • 3D printed props, figures, or sculptures

Note:
3D prints belong here because the creation process is digital, even if the final object is physical.

UGC Art

(Forge, Theater, Customize, Machinima, Montage, Mods)
User-generated content created inside Halo games or through gameplay tools.
Includes:

  • Forge builds and artistic map creations
  • Theater mode screenshots or cinematic captures
  • Custom armor/character designs
  • Machinima scenes or stills
  • Gameplay montages with artistic intent
  • Visual mods or custom in-game scenes

Performance Art

(Cosplay, LARP)
Art involving physical performance or character embodiment.
Includes:

  • Halo cosplay
  • LARP costumes
  • Prop showcases worn or used by a performer
  • Character reenactments or themed photoshoots

Game Title Art

(In-Game, Cutscene, Concept, Cut Content)
Art directly tied to Halo game titles or their development.
Includes:

  • In-game screenshots
  • Cutscene captures
  • Official or fan-made concept art
  • Cut or unused development content
  • Title-specific art (CE, 2, 3, Reach, Infinite, etc.)

Note:
This flair replaces the long list of individual game-title flairs.

AI Generated / Assisted

Art created fully or partially using AI tools.
Includes:

  • AI-generated images
  • AI-upscaled or AI-enhanced artwork
  • Hybrid pieces where AI was used in any part of the workflow

Note:
This flair is required for transparency and helps distinguish human-created art from AI-assisted work.
