A year ago I tried my hand and imagination at visualizing the exoskeletal armor suits of the Forerunners. I gave it another go, aiming for a slightly less rigid feel.
For those of you versed in Halo lore, the hard light cloaks are of course far from canon (at least as far as I know), but I found the concept interesting enough to experiment. If anything the cloak concept reminds me of the Destiny universe, so blame it on a bit of cross-pollination. Must be the hype... ( and if any of the developers at Bungie should happen to sneak a peek: feel free to borrow it for any upcoming expansions. Wink, wink.)

Edited by Failure4Life: 9/1/2014 3:13:39 AMI really like the one on the right, the holo cloak looks really cool. [spoiler]Inb4 hired by Bungie or 343. [/spoiler]Something like this deserves some kind of community spotlight.

Edited by Big Brit: 8/31/2014 4:13:33 PMLeft-Warlock Middle-Titan Right-Hunter You clearly took inspiration from Destiny for this, I really like the armour though (not the cloaks, the actual skin) it looks REALLY cool.

These are so beautiful. Never stop <3

Edited by Fallen Hero: 8/31/2014 7:18:19 PMThe cap on the left helmet looks kinda off with the rest of the design. Imo I think it would look better without the 2 points of the cap. Also the poses are kinda weird given the scenery. They are soldiers in armor and posing like walk way models. The actual armor and aesthetics look top notch though.

Edited by BaconShelf: 9/1/2014 8:37:09 AMDevelopers don't really look at Fanfiction and stuff because of legal reasons. Sorry to burst your bubble. Aside from that, they are seriously awesome. (The one on the right looks like a quarian though) What did you use to make them?
-
But they don't look like Bionicles! How dare you?
-
Still need to work on dat armor mang imo
-
Great art, man.
-
Pretty sweet.
-
This is very cool.
-
Are they all women, or are the men just incredibly fabulous?
-
Cool art, love the armor and background.
-
Wow That is some good art right there. I really like the Light blue visors, it makes them look even more alien!
-
-
Bump for good fucking art. Wish I was as skilled as you dude!

Looks very Destiny to me. Hmm... Cloaks are canon (See: Halo 4 Terminals) however they aren't as ornamental or complex as that. Although, I would like to see your take on the attire for the Forerunner Star Festival(?). And maybe some Forerunner headdresses and hats since they were big on that. Architecture looks great in the background. From a lore standpoint (obviously you have creative freedom here), I'd recommend you base the Forerunner armors off of MJOLNIR. Or better yet, what we already have with Halo 4. That being said, the majority of Forerunner attire we see in Halo 4 is Warrior-Servant oriented. As always, love your work, and wish your threads here got way more attention than they do.
-
Wow, those look cool. Good Job. It'd be awesome if we got to see some more stuff about the forerunners, their history and culture in future Halo games. Anyone else agree?
-
I'd definitely wear the suit in the middle IRL every day if I could.

Edited by Rothnihalias: 8/30/2014 12:41:19 PMNice artwork. I love the background stuff. As for the three figures... The face/helmet is distinctly reminiscent of something I can't put my finger on. I think the shawls are really original in that they look so silly I've never seen them done in a professional work like that before.
-
The one on the right looks like its from ME
-
Looks cool well done

Edited by Citrus raptor: 8/29/2014 8:13:38 PMWhat would you name the cloak if it was an item in Destiny?
