    Also that picture I showed was not the reference I used for the painting, I did not use one, only the memory of him snarling like that.
    He means both. Just start looking off of bungie-made halo games from now on.

    Halo Wars, and thus yours. I know some people will probably disagree but having spent much time in all 3 Halo games, that just does not strike me as an Elite's face. It looks more like some generic alien from some other sci-fi game/movie, because it looks overly monster-ish. Elites aren't exactly beauty pageant winners but they aren't supposed to look like the bogeyman, they're meant to look like proud and tough warriors with incredible intellect. It's hard to describe in any sensible terms, but the look that's going on with that screen looks more suited to a Brute, not an Elite.

    Oh well that just fits the background story of this one, seems he was too cruel a soldier, even for the covenant. The other elites look better, like in the original trailer. I think though that they wanted a darker, more dangerous feel to the elites, as since your looking at this from a more infantry point of view, elites look like monsters. And a giant creature wielding a glowing sword with the strength of 20 humans and is 8 feet tall sounds pretty monstrous to me, especially since they're hellbent on destroying the humans.

    As far as the placement goes, I gotta agree with rossmum.

    Look,

    Their only about one eyes width off from where they should be and it does not look right does it?

    Some stuff cant be tossed away with "Some things are different"

    The elites dont have a separate downs army.

    Yeah, but the difference is that for all their physical strength and religious zeal, the Elites are probably the smartest of all the Covenant (with the possible exception of the higher Prophets, the lower ones are most likely just useless diplomats). Even the most insane Elites are very much concerned with tradition, ceremony, honour, etc. and so portraying them outright as monsters is kind of stupid, really. That's for the Brutes.

    Re: The Studio Quick-Crit Thread

    Have to agree with you there, but ensemble is keeping this in mind, from the video the elites are worried about the relic they're using, it only seems this one is unconcerned. Also even though elites are smart, and great tacticians, they also do not find a problem dying for that honor, think of the sort of Japanese in world war 2 with the kamikaze charges, they were brainwashed by higher ups to sacrifice their lives in the thought of honor, and would kill themselves rather then be captured. Its the same with the prophets with the elites, expect the prophets are just as delusional, but they still know they are keeping the elites in the dark.

    Yeah, but the Japanese didn't morph into scaly monsters no matter how brainwashed they were. As far as I'm concerned, Bungie got the Elites right the first time around and anything else is certainly not an improvement.

    Looks pretty nice. Once you fix up the cliffs, give it smoothing or throw it in game (hopefully after giving it smoothing <_<) and post some pics.
