As stated in my previous post about this, I didn't use or even search for any existing patterns. I had a vision, so I wanted to come up with my own. I made a little test guy, took extensive notes as I went, and then tried my hand at making the actual character. It was challenging but fun, and I'm pleased with how he turned out!
(Forgive my shitty pics. I don't have an actual camera, just my phone, and I had to macgyver a temporary set for his photo shoot)
In Halo 3 and the og Halo 2, he's kinda brownish, but in Halo 2 anniversary (and I believe when he appears in Halo 5) he's more greyish. I decided to balance it out by making him purple.
I initially wanted a softer, muted shade, but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. All the other options were too light or too vibrant, so I settled for this dark classic purple. It took me a bit to come around to it, but I really like it now. It's pretty! 💜
All the armor pieces are removable, because I want to make other sets for him to wear (i.e. his gold Swords of Sanghelios armor, maybe his old Elite armor). And yes, that is a mark of shame I embroidered on his chest!
Here's him naked if anyone's interested. Side note: I really love the Elites' dumb little worm heads lol.
I've compiled my notes into a draft pattern, but I want to test it a few more times and make some tweaks to smooth it out. Once the pattern's ready, I'll post it here (it could be a while, because it's kind of complicated and I might make a video to go along with it). Stay tuned!
