While it is very unrealistic a military body (especially the UNSC) would spend resources on a stylised armor design it does remind me a bit of a Chaos Marine. Hehehee, BURN, MAIM, KIIILL!!!

The design was based more on psychological warfare. If you read the description for the image is says the armor never went into final production and played upon the Covenant moniker for Master Chief: "Demon."

Also, Chaos is beast.

This is great! I always respect artists. It's cool that you're designing your own armor permutations. I'll be checking to see more of them.

I kinda see what you mean; you're talking about the mouth guard right?


On a better note, I just might have another finished by tonight since I'm staying up till 11:30 to watch The Boondocks.

Pirate Elite Concept

This is something I just drew up of the pirate elite armor to rival the Hyabusa armor in rediculousity.

Not bad! It really does rival Hayabusa! I like the ribs and bullet holes! Personally, I don't like the samurai armor that much.

Also, I've added the Mental Variant to the first post.

I like it. Well done!

Do you think you might try designing some elite armor varients?

Dude those designs are great but they just don't have the feel of a spartan or elite.

  • 10.16.2007 12:16 PM PDT

This would be a good topic for some type of mini contest. Maybe the winner gets to have Recon armor unlocked for them!.....

Posting to make this thread easier to find later so I can post my concepts. :D

Thanks you so much for making this thread, :D

Baby, you got me all wrong. And maybe, I'm not at all down and out...

I like the Mental concept.

I just wanted to post an update. So I'm working on the Crescent Series now and am going to draw an actual sketch of what a Spartan would look like with the armor ON. I think the sets will look better with someone actually wearing them. The pictures require a bit of abstract thinking as they are now.

I might give it a go. I used to draw them a long time ago, so I'm a bit rusty at this point.

Here are my custom armors variants I thought of for Halo 3. The links are at the bottom of this post and should hopefully be updated with a new set of armor every day as long as I'm not too busy. Once I've uploaded all of the sets I've done so far, I'll add a poll so everyone can vote for their favorite. Leave any feedback you have, but try not to just link to things (especially copyrighted) that you'd want as armor in Halo 3. Also feel free to post any of your designs and I'll add the best to the first post (with credit of course).

They aren't colored per say because you could change the colors in-game. I was thinking about marking where the primary and secondary colors would be, but I'd like to finish all my sets first.

"True Demon"

True Demon armor is for all those people who want spikes on their Spartans. I'm not talking 5-foot spikes of doom though, that wouldn't really fit with the rest of the game I think. Personally, it's not my favorite one that I've done, but I think it turned out pretty good.

Mental

Mental armor is something I thought of because I wanted something more clean and simple. It's kinda unrealistic, but then again, Bungie's got flaming skull armor. It's got a skull helmet and sleek armor pieces. For anyone wondering, the chest armor piece fits onto the normal armor, the Spartan's body is NOT invisible.

Presently Unfinished:

[Crusade Set]
[Intel/Regal Set] (fav)
[...]

So far Leper Kahn Stev has got the best armor set submitted.

Leper Kagn Stev's Pirate Elite Concept
"This is something I just drew up of the pirate elite armor to rival the Hyabusa armor in rediculousity."


Those are some good designs. It would be cool if bungie ran a contest and had people submit entries for either Spartan or Elite armour permutations. They could pick two of each class and offer them as DLC.

"The more complex the mind, the greater the need for the simplicity of play."

Here's a quick concept sketch for one I've been working on. The concept is for a "Dress Armor" that a Spartan would wear to official and diplomatic events. The helm still needs some work, I think, but I'm curious to see what the rest of you think. I'll hopefully have a much better put together concept in a bit, just takes some time. Anyways, here's the Legionnaire perm:

Looks good except that maybe the head is too small, but only by a little.

I have a friend that I think would love that armor. It's got a classic spartan feel to it if you ask me. Like the actual Greek Spartans.

It would be cool if you gave the elite armor a shot, mabey just a bit of a warm up at first. I'd like to see what you come up with.

The idea of a user made armor contest sounds awsome. I would love to see what gets created.

That is some really impressive artwork, but I'm not a fan of the medievil eyeholes.
