Shi Kai Wang, who goes by the nickname Shiek,[1] is a senior artist at Bungie who has worked on all Bungie Halo games artwork and storyboards.[2][3][4][5][6]
He has sketched many of the ideas for the game, of which several have come to fruition, namely the Halo 2 Covenant races, the Brutes and the Drones. Wang is also responsible for the three distinct architectural styles of the UNSC, Covenant and Forerunner. Given these facts, he is one of the more prominent concept artists for the Halo franchise.
Many of his sketches were featured in The Art of Halo and he received high praise from other Bungie employees in the book for his well done and well liked work.
