I’m sorta making a fan fiction and I’m currently trying to bring my characters to paper. And While I find it’s going well, I can’t help but find I want and sorta need to make some original/new Halo armor. I’m wondering if any of you out there may want to tackle some concept art for my characters, if you feel so inclined, I’m only asking. If you do want to help me, I have my character’s main themes and some armor picked for them, so here’s some of my “guidelines” for some of these concepts:
-
Christan: This character is the bearer of the Locus Helmet from the Halo 4 armory. This character’s main traits include intense close battle tactics and and psychotic addiction to the challenge. Always ready to take on the next impossible task, whether it’s for the right reasons or not. The helmet is the only thing I have chosen for the character at this point. The armor I want to create, I would like to be reminiscent of CQB armor of 3 and reach, but in a Halo 4/5 style. Designing that kind of armor doesn’t say mobility and and joint protection are key, as that would be for CQC, this amour would probably sport more thick plating and hard points to take more direct hits (I,E. point blank shots). And I want it to work with the locus helmet, so keep that in mind.

William: This character is currently wearing a helmet similar to the Halo reach concept art for Commando. His armor pieces that are already picked are Halo 4 recon leggings and Halo 4 gungnir forearms. His Character is more of a hero, badass like noble 1, but still naive in his own way, just that nice guy. His aspect is a more caring personality with a passion for never giving up, it’s hard to derail him from his goal. His armor just has to work with the other pieces chosen, It can be commando like if you want, but the shoulders aren’t reach commando (I’ve already made them, and for another character).
-
Thomas: He’s a sharpshooter both with a gun and his mouth. He’s unchallenged with a sniper by anyone and is cocky because of it. He can run his mouth when he wants, but he can shut up when he needs to. He currently has only the halo 4 like ODST helmet:

The rest of the armor is need to be built from scratch based on ODST from past halos, not the new ones (343 (no offense) butchered ODST in 4 and now 5 it seems), my only suggestions are perhaps make it work with Soldier leggings and the forearms pieces, more specifically the hands, should have no finger armor, to mimic the greater dexterity of fingerless gloves worn by ODSTs.
To make any more clarifications, these concepts I’d liked to be based on the Halo4/5 style of armors. Ask questions and anything else you’d like. I’ll be listening for anyone would like to add to this, see you all later. : )
