chunky isn't the word I'd use... it's more.... buffed out? yeah that works

i would imagine it clunky because it is an older model of the spartan armor compared to master chief in halo ce - halo 3
i do bet spartans are buff but not to the extent like there upper body is

yes quite exaggerated

well if steroids made them 150 lbs heavier it all had to go somewhere, amirite?

like i said compared to the armor of the masterchief's armor and that it was older it wouldve made sense that things were clunkier like say look at the shoulder pads that isnt part of his arm but its a hunk of metal padding his shoulders that makes him look wider same could be said with the elites of halo wars



...yeah ill consider that you may be right and that its just the art style and steroids(i know spartans performance were enhanced by drugs but i didnt believe the armor isnt chunky
clunky looking because of that)

btw guys ive updated my intro post it has some random numbers of art work on there

Heavy ODST Credits: DaniloC
Issues: White spot on crotch area

Ew that needs some major overhauling. Shaders rig .etc

Yeah I know, the thing is I dont have anybody who can do it

I think the shaders look kinda nice.
Similar to:

yeah really good on the textures too the colors were the first thing i noticed

This is good, positive feedback lol, and slappy, that pic looks epic :D Now all I gotta do is find somebody to fix/shine up the shaders/bitmaps and fix the white spot. Any Volunteers?

i can easly fix that thing for you :) send model on xfire

i was wondern if you can tighten up his pose and grip

FINALLY! A decent ODST that's actually from Halo 3 ODST, not Halo 3.

Does anyone have a forerunner 3d model?

I'm working on one. But I'm not going to publish it on request to you, seeing as you're one of my haters. I even helped you on the design of your groundpounder ship. If you're gonna be a counterproductive prick, then no. Just no.

No

Wait what? What did I do? I think I missed something....

Meh, okay, you weren't that bad. I've been worse. Just

"What does HRCEMT actually stand for? And why did you make a new thread? So we could waste MORE space on Dennis's server?" and replacing a main announcement of the thread in a quote to "BLAHBLAHBLAH WALL OF TEXT". Yeah, I take back what I said. I guess you didn't mean any real offense. Also, the thread got locked. Back to the drawing board, I guess.

P.S Thanks for your support, I guess. It was only the first couple of pages where you were negative. which wasn't that bad, and you still supported me. :)

Now, on topic, so I don't get banned, here's basic forerunner art I drew up a while back:




Which idea would be better? I have started modelling the torso etc, but not the helmet yet.

Apologies again, thanks for support, people.

Second picture should be darker.

And how long ago where they drawn because I don't know anyone that uses crayons..... Although it doesn't really matter in this case as it get's the point across. And no I am not saying I could do better. Because I can't. /ignore

General shape isn't too bad. Did you go off the one's form halo legends?

Edited so I don't look like an idiot.

Art isn't your thing, sorry.

Sure isn't. I do most of the stuff here for enjoyment rather than professionalism. Hopefully I can share that enjoyment when I do stuff.

Dude. You aren't a concept artist. Go learn some basic principles of drawing (perspective, proportions, etc) before you attempt to draw concept art. I'm not sure about you, but the people I know don't have ellipse shaped torsoes and feet. Those drawings aren't going to help anybody. They only give a severly distorted view of the front of the character. What does the back look like? Or how does he look from the side?

Besides these fundamental problems, there seems to be a lack of understanding of the forerunner style. It seems as if you have taken the elite armor and a random helmet that looks like something out of power rangers, and put them on a human. Your character is also wielding an energy sword and has multiple plasma grenades on his belt. First, I don't know why he would need that many. Second, those are Covenant weapons (read: not Forerunner). When concept drawing, remember to take functionality into account. What may look cool doesn't necessarily mean it's practical for somebody to wear/use. For example, your helmet obscures a significant amount of the wearer's vision. You have also left the chest entirely open. The chest is THE most vital part of the body (apart from the head), and you have given it absolutely no armor. The heart looks like it could be covered, but not by much. Either way, it doesn't matter as his lungs, stomach, liver, and all other vital organs are unarmored. Unless it has energy shields like the elites, then anybody wearing that won't last long. Plus, even if they do have shields, they will fail eventually, and then they will be completely vulnerable.

In short: your perspective is off, your proportions are off, and you have conflicting art styles and an impractical armor design.


I'm sorry that this comes off as so mean. If there was anything positive I could say, I would say it, but I just don't see any redeeming qualities in the design.

Sweet thanks :P. And what else...grip and pose needs tightening? Could you do that Cheddars? And, maybe if I'm lucky, give it some gloves! lol


Oh I know right, I was like "OMG PRETTY" lol

Crit of the Year '11

Next time on Halomaps.
Will Hunter/anonymous be able to come back after this whopping wall of crit?
or will he himself become the subject of criticism?
Tune in next time for the next gripping installment that will leave you on the
Edge
Of
Your
Seat.

Those designs are based on confirmed ones. Also, any covenant technology from weapons to armour has been confirmed as stolen Forerunner tech. The energy sword has a forerunner symbol on and has been proved as forerunner, and the same goes for the elite armour torso. Everything there is perfectly accurate in canon. In terms of the elite torso on the forerunner, while it may not cover the chest, that's what it's been confirmed to be like. Besides, there's still protective armour underneath there. Also, it does have shields, and mighty tough ones at that. The shields of the elites were also stolen forerunner tech, but were never perfected. Everything there is very much accurate. Also, while my drawings, which I never spend above 5 minutes drawing, aren't proportianately accurate, they still give necessary details to outline a concept, to be elaborated upon later, with different views etc. Besides, I'm the one modelling it, so you WILL see proper 3d views later on. (Expect extremely lowpoly stuff).

If you watch the Halo Legends thingie with the forerunners in it hey are holding something that resembles an energy sword but shoot's an energy beam.

halo legends is fake and gay

I MAED CONCEPT !!!!!
Its bout forerenner supersoldiers !

I like Petera's power ranger

/sarcasm

It's an actual forerunner design, just drawn badly.

Bet you feel real smart now

/sarcasm

Best one

Why can't you even troll right lol?

Funny how far we'll go to troll/get lulz. It's always best it's more then just typing.
