==Update==
Anyways, here's an update of the arms. I was able to get a little sculpting today. The arms are maybe 60% done. Still need a lot of work on the form. Anyways, here's some images:

Simply open the link, and right click "save file/target as" the link called "Unknown" (under play/download on the left hand side).
Hope you guys learn something from this! :)
P.S. - In this video I don't go over the basics in 3ds max. I'm working on that right now, and that will be the second video tutorial. The first being one teaching to color your concept art.

Thats super! Here's an idea: how about a Flood infected Elite?
-
Ah, it is reveald! Sounds GREAT, and I can;t wait to watch it = D
-
I hope you guys don't mind distribution via torrents, because I don't think I want to buy a hosting plan that can get owned, so to speak.
-
Wow.... But 9K polys? Hope you can find some badass reducing tools 'cause that is one hell of a lot.
-
sounds great! im looking forward to watching it, as im planning on going to school for this kind of stuff and i could use some tips.
-
They should use these for the Halo Movie
-
Well, it's no point keeping secrets. Basically what I'm doing is recording each and every step as I go through, then after, I'm going to talk over the video, and make some video lessons. This will take a bit longer than the usual model because I want the videos to be sparkling. Anyways, almost have the first 2 done. I'm going to record all the videos, and then voice over after everything is put together.
-
Still waiting for that surprise xD

What if this guy DID works in Bungie and he is giving us models and things from halo 3 to let bungie know about our opinion on how halo 3 is going to be without we knowing it is actually from halo 3?
-
These are all very well done. I could very much beleive that this one: http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s220/elitemodel3/aqua_scul pt_3.jpg is a pictures of a forrunner and It even looks like eleites could have evolved from it. Very nice
-
They all look amazing, but yet, they somewhat lack the Halo feel, I can't place my finger on it, though. Also, I'm sure I speak for all of us when I say, we don't want to see John's face!
