Cool.



I'm getting back into it by using this concept by Mike Hill as inspiration for my version of an updated MK VI armor with a fair few changes done by me on par with the depth changes from halo 2 to halo 3 and applying more functionality to details in the model. My last final is today and I'm taking a semester off to refine my portfolio and submit an application or two.

I have a new computer on the way just to handle the amount of detail I intend to put into this model and then I'm going to rip that detail onto a low poly game model and preserve as much detail as possible with some texture tricks I have up my sleeve.

Wow, awesome work dude! We have some really talented artists here on HaloGAF.

VVVV EDIT: Oow, read it wrong then :P But still, we do have some awesome talented people here.

Woah woah woah, I need to clarify, that concept work is by Mike Hill That's his awesome work! I'm just announcing that I'm making a 3d model based around his work in terms of functionality. For anyone who doesn't remember the kind of thing I do, here is what I was working on 3 years ago before I ended up putting art aside and becoming a firefighter.

That's really well-painted and I do like the surface detail, but EWW! The open parts make it look like a robot Freddy Krueger.

It's open because he was showing what it would look like in the prototyping stages, the titanium plates are just removed is all.

Also for the big version of what I was working on three years ago http://dangerstner.deviantart.com/art/Lost-and-Found-A-Spartan-Work-in-Progress-270873421


Edit: Also you guys are crazy, and Dax I'm sorry I never got to that epic space scene you wanted to see.

Who's Xand?


That recon armour looks good! I want to learn a 3D package, must have taken a lot of time to put that together!

Bungie.net has a new happy holiday article, the gift is the image of the article on the frontpage on Bungie.net itself.

Nah, I decided that since you and Nutter didn't want me around anymore, and that somebody took a throwaway comment based off the old "if __ happens I'll buy ____" thing that has been done hundreds of times before, quoted it off an entire post I made, and decidedly to take it deadly serious for some reason, I'd do you a favor and pull my recent posts that irritate you so much and leave. They've already been quoted, how the hell would that cover it up.
Click to expand...
you made a stupid comment and so I pointed it out. trying to cover that up by saying "lol I was making a joke and someone took it too seriously" is equally stupid. sorry for trying to keep people honest.

oh and thanks for being passive-aggressive about it

So just played on the Anniversary maps for the first time ever. Amazingly I actually had a game on Ridgeline that I enjoyed.

Fun? Reach? Que?

Press Play

Sing:
Letters roasting all the posts by Fyre,
heckfu drinking to his foes,
Playlist rants saying "Juices for hire",
And folks pissed off their Xbox froze.

Everybody knows a Banshee and a Missile Pod,
Help to make the Halo bright.
Tiny tots with their guests in the squad,
Will find it hard to dong tonight.

They know that Frankie's on his way;
He's loaded lots of guns in Warthogs just to slay.
And even Ghaleon is going to strain,
To see if Tashi really knows how to blain.

And so I'm offering this simple phrase,
Bad kids from Dax to Louis Wu,
Although its been said many times, many ways,
Merry GAF-mas to you.

:lol someone needs to sing this.

That's the intention, I'm inspired by the detailing he did on it, it feels so much more functional which is something I'm clearly obsessed with.

Yeah, I know. I originally was going to post it as a reply to your post. Just wanted to get a better idea of what it would look like without the distracting exposed bits.

Is the weekly challenge bugged? It's not coming up to show I've completed each set.
Click to expand...


Did you start the 5th set? You have to start it for the 4th round to count as finished

Edit: If you're asking why it won't show up a counter as you finish each set, it's because it's not supposed to.


Endure: The Return
Complete four sets on any Firefight map in co-op play on Heroic or harder.

Love this design and just had to iterate on it

http://derekdennison.codebrainshideout.net/gaf/halogaf/mikehillchiefpaintover.jpg[IMG]

So much more functional and aesthetically pleasing than the super-bulky Halo 4 BMX helmet

I can't even recognize that as being the chief :/[/QUOTE]

I don't like it so much either, the MK VI was supposed to be streamlined and a lot of the new details seem even more random, and kit bashing( repeating the same parts of the model from a kit of premade models) is really apparent on that large clip design all over the front of the torso and part of the leg.

I think kit bashing is fine on repetitive unimportant characters but for a central character like that it shouldn't be done with such a large part of the model and so often. At most for a character so important you re-use nuts and bolts and little things here and there, it just feels lazy especially considering most of these clips don't even appear to be in a functional place.

I get the feeling that 343 has a desire to define themselves and branch out from what Bungie did, and I don't doubt they'll make a great game, but I don't like how far they branched from such an iconic character design and made something that from my perspective seems rushed and poorly planned.

EDIT: Along with no longer looking streamlined the profile is now bulkier, jumping from tank-like [B]warrior[/B] to tank-like [B]power lifter[/B] in my opinion.

Destiny unveils next year. oh awesome!

Next year is going to be so awesome. Prometheus, The Dark Knight Rises, Halo 4, The Hobbit, Mass Effect 3, Destiny Reveal, Halo: Primordium etc. so awesome.


Flipyap and I played some Firefight today. First I tried to make a GhaleonEB-like story with screens etc. but then I lost all my eagerness. But I can tell you one thing. I cried over the death of a specific ODST. You can call him Tony. There was a tear in my eyes but as a Spartan I ain't allowed to cry.
Are there interested for such a story? If yes I'm going to write it tomorrow. If not, the story will be never told.

Btw. We played Survival Beta and Flipyap killed himself after Black Eye was activated.
