Description Okay so I got that Halo anniversary thing and
I just kind of got inspiration to at least get the flats down on an old sketch of mine. <3
I know the legs are wonky but I really have a LOT of trouble drawing elites. XD; So bear with me. XD;
Also sword. That thing gave me so much hell you can't even.

But I'm pretty happy with how this came out! Particularly the head and... Well, the general upper body, arms included.
I wish you could customize your elites a little more in Halo 2 and on. D: This would be a bit of a cliche' design, but I thought it up like YEARS ago, found an old picture, and used that color scheme. Because I like it. D:

Anyways, I won't sit here and bore anybody with my love for Halo. Just gonna.... Leave this here. XD

Halo to Bungie I suppose. XD

Awesome character, legs are not all that wonky as you think.
But the hands are a bit off, just a tad. ^^
Think two thumbs, and two index fingers, and there's their hand.
Keep up to great work!

oh wow, thank you! C:
I modeled the hands after human hands, since that's all I had to go off of!
But thank you for the tip, and I deeply appreciate the encouragement! Thank you.

Hey no problem, for drawing a sangheili for your first time, you did; surprisingly well.
for the legs, I picture the anthro- digigrade legs. To help me with my sketches, but I use this as a sort-of reference. A good artist friend of mine:

Otherwise; Keep up the fantastic work and no problem for the tips.

I only had the little book from Halo: Combat Evolved. XD; The little picture in the enemies section... I always liked how their faces looked in that, old graphics or not! XD
Yes, I picture that too. The angle was... A little weird to draw. But again, thank you very much; for the tips, references, and especially the encouragement.
It means a lot, man. C:

xD Hey no probs, it took me a long while till I learned otherwise I would've been stuck at their mandibles a ton. By chance you play xbox?

Probably the severe lack of incredible scare-you-shitless teeth and rage. XD;
I'm kind of lacking in the 'vicious alien' department. I think this is only the second or third time I've ever drawn an elite it my entire life.

lol, I mean it still looks awesome but you're right, it's not vicious at all.

skelebrity In reply to xlJonnyQthanlx [2011-11-25 07:43:40 +0000 UTC]

It makes me a little sad, honestly. When I think of elites, ESPECIALLY when they're wielding swords, I think of them snarling and reared up. Vicious, bloodthirsty, and totally ready to kick your ass. XD
Which is something I suck at. |D;

I totally know what you mean. I've had those moments too, believe me when I tell you that it's a drag. Trying to get the bodily expressions and the facial expressions to sync perfectly and make your character actually look vicious instead of making him/her seem as if they have a weird smile on their face is quite a task for me as well.

And to think of that awesome image you had in your head. It's like it taunts you. D:
Goodbye, murderous image. Hello not nearly as awesome end result. D:

I know! Then I feel so unsatisfied with the final product that I, personally, give up on it after the first attempt.

Well, on my end it's really quite dependent on how frustrating it is. I only ever quit if it's legitimately pissing me off. XD;

My frustration elevates as soon as I start erasing lol.
