In Response To: Re: Forerunner Visualization *IMG* (Archilen)


: Hannaford's combat skin piece has been my favorite depiction of a Forerunner
: for a while and it's largely due to the unconventional design; there's no
: separation between an undersuit and armor plating or even any visible
: joints, yet it manages to get across this idea of multi-layered armor. The
: silhouette is also very defined and powerful; a stealth fighter springs to
: mind. I also like how it keeps the blue lights sparse instead of covering
: the armor in " Tron Lines ", which to me is too common in modern
: depictions of advanced tech, the Forerunners being no exception.

: In contrast, the clearly separate undersuit, joints and abundant mechanical
: detail in your design make it seem a tad... archaic in comparison. It's
: still very recognizably Forerunner, but it looks as if it could've been
: built with the level of tech available to the Covenant or even the UNSC.
: That's not necessarily a bad thing, though. If we were to take Hannaford's
: design as canon (and I'd like to) I might imagine your version as being
: representative of tech from the older ages, much like the War Sphinx was.

Indeed, as I said with Quirel, my motivation with the under-suit design in this image was for the purpose of later gameplay in Shield and Sword.... as in the Master Chief might be able to integrate aspects of this armor into his own.

But maybe that's not worth weakening the Forerunner design? Or perhaps I can continue to push this guy towards the Hannaford piece and have Chief's Forerunner upgrades come from another source? Hmmm...
