He did five designs in all, one each for BioShock, Gears of War, Killzone, Dead Space and Halo. You can check out all five in the gallery above, and if you like what you see, you can get the shirts here.
This isn’t the first time we’ve featured Myers’ work here on Kotaku; earlier in the year he did a great series of Star Wars pixel art that ticked both my “Star Wars” and “Swords & Sworcery” boxes.
