Description
Update: After considering what coolhaloboy360 commented, I decided to slightly fade the lines the swords overlap the elite's body.
+ Added lightning, smoke and cloud effect on picture and around energy swords.
I've finally finished it, and I'm rather pleased...I'm not too sure about the background though. I wanted to try something different and decided to manipulate an image. It is a screenshot from halo 4 in game. There's also not a whole lot of colour - apart from the energy swords and armour detail - except a wide range of different greys...

The line work on this piece is sublime and looks very realistic to the game!
the colours of white/silvery grey work well with the red markings and the blue energy swords. The background is cool as it creates mystery (if your wondering why i'm using formal language is because it is long and takes up word count) e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s⦠" width="15" height="15" alt="

furthermore the lighting effect on the swords is very good mabey add some more tones of blue mabey purple to give an energy sword look to them.
Overall a very good piece, very intricate and very well coloured brilliant work.

Thank you for the feedback. The area on the right where the sword is visible is his arm behind the sword - which is translucent to allow a better effect. The idea was to try and create a slightly more realistic sword with lighting and colour differences around and in the sword, and I seem to remember being able to see through it in the game ever so slightly...
I have to admit the sword was my hardest area, and had to look up many reference pictures to get the colour right, which I decided on a slightly purple colour rather than pure electric blue.
Thanks again for the feedback and I hope I can improve on my next artworks, using your suggestions.
(If you have any ideas of other drawings you might want to see then sent me a comment or a note!)

The sword inside of the arm in an energy knife used in assassination scenes and in the "Engaged" cut-scene from halo reach.

Spec Ops Sangheili Elite...
Neat, outstanding and sick... Good job on this Halo fan art. Ultra, Spec Ops andΒ Zealot are my favorite Sangheili Elite armors.

I think this piece is amazing and has a great resemblance to those in game and the background looks awesome and i like the faded battlecruiser in the top left Β

It looks like Sarah Palmer in Sangheili form.

It even fits as scout is sort of like the zealot armor of the Sangheili in Halo 4.
