==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:

NICE id love to see them in action when halo 3 comes out

=Update 3 - Marine Update= Well, since I'm putting a portfolio together, I couldn't just leave my marine, standing in a t-shaped, so I threw a quick rig for my portfolio. Just thought I'd post them up: [url]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t290/elitemodel2/marine_front.jpg[/url] [url]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t290/elitemodel2/marine_back.jpg[/url] [url]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t290/elitemodel2/marine_left_side.jpg[/url] [url]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t290/elitemodel2/marine_right_side.jpg[/url] The hands look like crap, but whoops! ==

You should do a brute head, or short of that do Mister Chief. Seriously, a brute head would be cool
-
My ONLY complaint is the knees seem like they are too far back. but seriously, that's amazing.
-
i dont see how really any color will make it look bad. it could be the worst color ever and still be insane haha. that color looks fine, although i think i like the other one better
-
Wow. This is awesome dood. I was left with my jaw open after opening up the first link! Very awesome work! Keep it up Buddy.
-
i hope tht in halo3s mp u can create an ultra or honor elite to play. it would be cool
-
Hey everybody. Just got home. Thought I'd try to render a different color. Didn't come out as expected, but I figured I'd post it in any case: [url]http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t290/elitemodel2/pesudosilver-1.jpg[/url] Anyways, Now it's important to create the environment. I also have to create the head for which the elite needs to hold. i think I'll create a marines head. Anyways, more updates tonight, hopefully. [Edited on 2/16/2007]

When I looked at that last pic, with all the elites in it I couldn't help but think: "OH NOEZ: [B]BADGERS, BADGERS, BADGERS!!!!1111!!!![/B]" Seriously, this is getting really good, do you not have the job yet, because you're DAMN good!
-
If elites looked that beast then I would play with them all the time.
-
....wow....... does anyone know of a good 3d program that works for mac or linux? after seeing this guy, ive been inspired haha.

To everyone here, dont expect any animation.[/quote]Hell, i would be even cautious about the pics... people on the internet like to steal crap and name it their own.
-
Wow, that elite looks awesome. I hope the elites in Halo 3 look sort of alike. I like how scary the elite looks.

The renders just keep getting better every time i check up on the thread. Keep up the good work.
-
I love the gold armor, it looks like the heritic armor because of the color and purple lines. And i think you should move the bottom part of the legs forward. Maybe you could start making more elaboraTE ARMOR SUCH AS HONER GUARD OR THISE SILVER ELITES. Or one holding an energy sword :D (stupid caps lock)
-
Very well done. Is it safe to assume you did these in a 3ds application? (the models I mean)
-
Looks fantastic. Keep up the good work, and you have my best wishes for making it big in the industry. :-)
-
Thanks for the input guys! Yeah, I agree from the side, he looks WAYYY off balance. I'll fix that, but for right now = school. Take care all! Thanks for the support!
-
Wow this is amazin I wish i could do all this!
-
You know, usually when people post their renders, they're pretty awful. Yours just made up for all the others. Great stuff!
-
i agree with the bringing the legs forward a bit. Also the back looks like hes got his armour slung around his backside without boxers =| Perhaps make the shoulder slightly wider, maybe very good the rest of it though well done =) [Edited on 2/15/2007]
-
very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very scary yes i agree don't mess with them unless your the master cheif leave it to him to kill them all
-
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] DarkAngel117 Wow i really cant wait to see what they look like completed, looks like bungie played with the elites a little bit and made them like a good MP model.[/quote] These weren't Bungie-made.....
