Hey guys
time to start on a new project and I’ll need your critics and suggestions!
I recently read “Halo: Ghosts of Onyx” and the book present a new type of armor called SPI (semi-powered infiltration armor) that augment the strenght of its user and have a cameleon like ability to hide in whatever environment you’re in.
this is my progress so far aswell as my only reference
hmm…looks good so far…will be checkin peace!
update before heading for the bed:
I like it, mate.
Take a closer look at the helmet, you’re missing some of the shape thats in there, though I see you added some fun details, so you’re probably taking some artistic license.
Nice work so far!

Doesn’t look like Halo completely, but it is one good WIP!
it’s not suppose to look like the armor in the games.
This armor is based on the SPI armor (not the mjolnir the Master Chief wear in the game) that some other soldiers wear in the latest book Halo: Ghosts of Onyx (yeah…there are books…)
Update time! sorry for the delay!
wow!! that’s looking awesome!! :eek:
Hey guys!
been a while but I’m still working on it!
Redid most of the arm and readjusted the body because it was starting to be too “heavy” and bulky for the description of what the armor is suppose to be.
I hope you like it 
A closer look at the hand part:

Those little halo lights don’t look so nice… Maybe you could model little glass lights and put some spherical lamps in them.
PS Good to see you found SFM.
If the visor was reflective, that would be uber cool. None the less, great work!
Nice, i’ll have to keep my eye on this. But I cant help looking at his weirdly shaped head…
Update time
[edit: edited the render]
update time!
Whoo that’s looking sexy! I’m loving the pose and the beginning of the environment you’ve got going. Excellent work so far. I would agree with what you said on msn though, the lower legs maybe need a little more work.
Keep it up!
Whoa, dude, that’s looking good.
small…really small update. Not had much time in the past days. More soon I hope!
I love halo! Good work. I think it needs a little streamlining but I would say you’re well on the way to an awesome spartan.
it looks great!
one thing i would say is looking at your reference picture, and the concept behind the suit, maybe make it a little more ‘rounded’ in parts? Getting a bit arty here but imagine a suit that’s supposed to blend in to it’s surroundings… things like that are generally more rounded than angular.
Good job though!
My first thought was that it was a little heavy. But in my opinion the front cover picture does not match my internal visualisation of the armour even closely.
It’s looking good though. Keep it up I’m impressed.
