Visualizing the Halo Universe: Round 5
Posted By: Postmortem <postmortem@forwarduntodawn.com>Date: 1/6/13 11:21 p.m.


Visualizing the Halo Universe: An HBO Art Contest
Round 5

Remember, feedback on artwork is appreciated and encouraged. We're not looking just to share, but also to start discussion!

Additionally, if you have any ideas for future contests, feel free to email them to me at: postmortem@forwarduntodawn.com

The last round's submissions can be found here.

I hope everyone had a great holiday and a safe New Years! Now that I've gotten back from my various travels, I believe it's time to get this rolling again. Due to some of the feedback I received during the last round, this time there will not be a winner selected, and there will not be any prizes awarded (which leaves me in the awkward position of having to figure out what to do with all the prizes I had stockpiled for future rounds). From now on, we will be participating for the enjoyment of working on new Halo artwork and sharing it with the community to compare our ideas and discuss.
In honor of coming back from our little hiatus, I've decided to kick this off again with something a little different, which I hope you all will enjoy. I can't wait to see what comes out of this round!

My introductory post and general rules/guidelines can be found here

Subject:

Build Your Own Forerunner Mutation!

Specifications:

- Get creative, but think logically about your design
- Use 343's Forerunner designs as the foundation for your own
- Have fun!

Sources:

Halo 4
Cryptum
Primordium
Halo: Legends

Details:

This time around, you will be creating something not from a book or a comic, but from your own imagination. The intention is to put together a Forerunner of your own design that you could picture standing alongside those in Halo 4.
In Cryptum, Greg Bear introduced us to the idea that Forerunner go through various stages of physical mutations, where their forms are altered to better fit the role they must fill within their society. Some gain multiple fingers, multiple eyes, larger appearances, and various other physical additions and subtractions that change their appearance and bodily function.
When you line up many of the various Forerunner designs concepted and implemented in the latest Halo game, you really start to see the wide variety that their race exhibits.

Your goal is to create your own form that could sit comfortably in this line.
Once again, it need not be illustrated well or even in any particular medium, so long as it gets your idea across.

Extra Credit:

A separate illustration of your Forerunner's head and face, so it can be compared to that of the Librarian and Didact.

Have fun designing one form? Why not try your hand at more?

Can't wait to see what you guys come up with. Remember you have two weeks to submit your entries.

Good luck! :)
