Description This is my work in progress of Catalog, the character mentioned within the story Halo: Silentium. This character is important in terms of art because so far as I have been able to see, no art exists of this character. None at all, which makes this a bit of an exercise for creativity. This is my depiction of Catalog which is only a work in progress that I will fine tune. I would like to hear your thoughts on it though! Of course, it helps if you have read Halo: Silentium! 

Also, I have recorded the sessions so far of me drawing this! So I may upload them to youtube as well! 

Video of making it!

Nice work. It looks like the walking coffin or jar with wings.

That's actually exactly what it's supposed to look like! The wings are for show, really.

...It's too Egyptian to be Forerunner.

Well, Forerunners ride Sphinxes into battle and put their control centers at the top of pyramid structures.

I've only read the first three books.

Oh God read the Forerunner novels. They're amazing stories.

Need money for any of that. Kinda lacking in that part.

Though I haven't read Silentium, was there a part in there that said he looked like an angel - winged coffin with spider legs? Even if there wasn't I still like your concept.

I remember some parts about it, but aside from a few details such as the legs and the coffin, there really was not much given to me, so a lot of this design was based on speculation.

So it was a spider-coffin? That's pretty cool. It'd be pretty awesome to ride around in something like that.

Also, how's Florida?

Well, you have to do something really bad to have to get in the coffin in the first place. In a way, it's really poetic. 

Warm. Really nice. Actually just got back last night!

I suppose so, one could only imagine what monstrosity rests inside.

It is, you get heat, humidity, and a little splash of 1980's architecture lining our beaches.
