Description

More scraps.

#1 is a civilian crewman operating what may be a Sangheili equivalent of a ship, dirigible, or larger aircraft. Either way, I had something Age of Sail-esque but high-tech/alien in mind.
#2 is an Elite design where I tried to reintroduce elements from some of the pre-Halo CE concepts.
#3 was an attempt to design uniform-type attire for Elites. I think the design turned out too 'human', but eh.
#4 is a study on the sharp, pointed shapes that helped make classic Elites so distinctive but have gradually been disappearing from their designs.
#5 I drew as a sort-of redesign of 343i's Storm Elites, or how I'd have done them anyway; trying to keep the 'spirit' of the Elite design intact and cleaning up the shapes while still incorporating some elements from the Storm design e.g. the lack of armor on the arms (aka the wife-beater harness) and the rough shape of the helmet.
#7 is a sketch for the ceremonial garb of High Speaker Sossak Kar 'Usoi, the de facto head of my primary ex-Covenant polity, the Chikri-Merkaa Conflux .
#11 is a design for a piece of a bit more personalized Kig-Yar headgear.
#12 and #14 are examples of Kig-Yar gear in the Conflux (or at least the key units). Note the armor coverage; since their military is small and specialized, the CMC can afford to equip their warriors with better armor.
#15-21: Grunts are fun. I should draw more of them.
#18 is a CMC veteran, hence the heavy armor.
#20 has that charming peaked helmet that for some reason disappeared after Halo CE (though the ones in CE have full face coverage unlike this one)

It would be interesting to see jackals wearing looted civilian or military clothingΒ 
have you done anything like that already

I'm planning on featuring more Jackals with custom gear in my future sketchdumps, possibly even more finished pieces. There's definitely a lot more that could be done with the idea.

Glad you like them! And I think most people liked the curlback Grunts. Not sure why we haven't seen them since CE.

This makes me wish more for a Halo pen and paper role-playing game more and more as a basis of doing so and so many ways for those who try to fight back against me on this tell me why does Warhammer 40,000 deathwatch and Black Crusade nothing even only War if those can be D&D games why can't Halo

Huh. Never thought I'd see the day a Grunt would be wielding an energy sword. Really like the designs on this one!

The sword Grunt was meant more as a joke but then again I don't think it's too impossible either. Thanks!

Inspiring *u*
I love all these concept:Β there's too much to say about it..
I particularly love the 7: I thought it was a female. Whatever, just to say that, even if it's an invented armor, it looks like Sangheili!
All the Jackals (especially the 14's pose *0*) and the Grunts are so cool: the Grunts with the blade is an... cool idea!!Β (even if I think they would hold it in both hands)
Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you for the feedback! I'll definitely keep going with these since I enjoy working with the Covenant aesthetic and people tend to like them as well.
