:::End Update:::

Hey guys. Been a while since I've posted here, so I'll start again.

If you do want to read
-----
So I wanted to make a new elite. Maybe a few of you have seen my previous elite in this ancient thread here.

I have been itching to make a new elite, but I wanted to make it with a twist. I knew that I wanted to make a tank elite, so this elites armor will be much more bulky than a regular elites. Also, all of the weapons will be incorporated into the suit.

Since this armor was designed post halo 3, I decided that I wanted the armor to be designed by both humans and covenant engineers alike, to get the most out of it. As such, the design doesn't follow either covenant design nor human design strictly. In reality it was just a way for me to have freedom to do what I wanted with it. So don't be surprised if you see some iron man influenced parts to it.

In the final render I also want the elite holding a recon helmet in his palm, like he decimated a soldier for something. Don't ask me why I just thought it would be cool.

Anyways....

Wow... I can't believe that I go searching for images of Elite teeth today. Find my way to your ancient post, realise that you are the same one who made the amazing golden Elite that I have drooled over, and then check your recent posts and find this...

Awesome stuff!

I've fallen in love with that Elite armor. You have some very good skills, my friend. If you don't mind me asking, what program did you use?

Amazing - I'd love to learn to use Zbrush but I dont think I have the patience, keep em' coming

  • 09.06.2009 1:55 PM PDT

@Nakedgun: Thanks dude glad you like

@LIL Smurf Dogg: Hey dude. I didn't get any direct inspiration from gears, but more from other random art. Like ced and bulgarov.

@SkilPhil: Thanks dude! Try zbrush out you may like it!

Update:

Converting the sculpted armor into a max file. So far it's this:

Case and point: don't worry about it. Girls start getting boobies pretty soon, and then you'll have plenty of other things to think about. Being an Inheritor is not a life goal.

I am open to doing free clan tags for anyone. Contact me on my deviant art profile through a note and NOT on my comments page as they will not be acknowledged.

Click on the "My Homepage" button to be directed to my page.

Wow this is so cool what did you do to learn how to do this stuff?

  • 09.27.2009 4:24 AM PDT

@wolvefrog: Haha. Everyone sees something different when they look at it. I lot of people see gears of war, but I don't see that. I haven't even played gears of war and I don't have any gears on my reference sheet! -_-. Much love.

@XD00999: I love you!

@Olole: Thanks dude! Yeah the program is kinda like spore good eye! It's called zbrush, and it is the best investment you can make in terms of modeling. It's the closest thing to working with real clay on the computer. You can download a trial at
http://www.pixologic.com/home.php

@Xplode441: lol I wish it could get into a halo game! That would be a dream come true!

@Shaolinmonkey: Thanks dude! I've been practicing for a long tim around 6 years I think. Just work with a 3d app like 3ds max or maya, and try to sculpt in zbrush! Keep practicing and learning anatomy as best as you can and you will get great!

No, acnboy. Spartain Ken 15 is a lesser being. Much like the bacteria that lives in your shi­t.
Posted by: mike120593
My shi­t bacteria takes offense to that comparison.

Don't make me lel. You won't like me when I lel.

Wow, I can't wait for a final coloured model with a complete modelled elite inside it.
