The Marathon Art of Craig Mullins

marine1.lg

Filename: Marine 1 (hires).pict

Size: 955 x 980 pixels

Date: July 1995 (Marathon HyperArchive NorthWest at ese.ogi.edu)

About: One of five pieces of Marathon art Craig did in early 1995.
Speaking about his early Marathon work in a 2013 interview Craig remarked:

"In 1994, I think Marathon came out at the very end of the year. I remember playing it over Christmas break. A few months later, I did some fan art."

This large version (955 x 980 pixels) was sent by Craig to the Marathon HyperArchive NorthWest in July 1995. My original version of this image (290 x 335 pixels) in BinHex format won't uncompress correctly. The original size of 290 x 335 pixels is odd in that it doesn't scale up to 955 x 980 pixels.

POSTER

Size: 955 x 980 pixels

About: Note that Craig renamed this image as 'POSTER'. This image is slight sharper that the top one. This is particularly noticeable around the head and chest area.

I just started browsing these since I saw Craig's name at Bungie, but I think this is quite good. Most of the others are "heat of the moment" types, and have a warm lighting to them. This is just the epitome of a calm before the storm; if you're familiar with elevator scenes in any kind of movie or game, it's often the only peaceful moment you come across. Individually it's a little bare, but as a set, this really puts out a good contrast of mood to the combat shots.
