Hitchhiker's Elites

Something I've discovered in trying to make Halo 3 comics is that the player character models look down more than the player HUD would imply. This makes it a bit difficult to accurately indicate where characters are looking, especially if they have unusual helmets. The Elites have a dramatic look of downward-facing that makes me want to compensate by tilting back their heads dramatically. The final result, however, looks weird even if it's supposedly accurate in showing where they're looking. I have the hitchhiker's thumb variant of thumb, which is a similar issue as I can never get it looking appropriately thumb-like; there's always a strange curve. I suppose with the Elites, it's best to treat it like the thumb and just be natural, because trying to force a normal look just makes its stranger.

What Happened to the Machinima?

(Crossposted from Halo Fanon)

A few years ago, RelentlessRecusant and I got together to make Halo Fanon’s very own machinima called Common Denominator. We wrote a bit, recruited some other guys, acted out scenes, filmed our scenes… and nothing really came of it. We basically got one scene ready, a trailer, some concept credits, and that was it. What happened to Halo Fanon’s machinima? Do we have any hope of making one now?

Current Character Colorization Chart

The following is a chart of the various armor colors and variants used by each character in the Halo 3 machinima-style graphic novel.

Shoulder armor is kept the same for consistency.

• AP = Armor's primary color
• AS = Armor's secondary color
• AD = Armor's detailing color
• EP = Emblem's primary color
• ES = Emblem's secondary color
• EB = Emblem's background color
