Forerunner Anatomy and Armor
Hello all, I'm new. Be nice.
So I just finished listening to Cryptum on audiobook. The armor of the Forerunners really stuck in my mind, and I decided to paint it before moving on to the next installment in the saga.
I studied Forerunner architecture a lot in order to nail the aesthetic I wanted. Although I have to say, the majestic towers and rigid constructions proved more difficult than I imagined to turn into more sculptural pieces such as armor... I also painted a near nude (sporting only a pair of fashionable undies) Forerunner standing beside the armor to portray their alien anatomy as I imagined it. Perhaps its Bornstellar, prior to his brevet mutation.
There's also a picture of the Warpsphinxes guarding Didact's Cryptum, over at my [url=http://lakeandmountain.tumblr.com/]blog[/url], for those of you who are interested.
Bam!

It looks very well man and the skills you have should get you far but i will point out somethings to help you make this more accurate. Forerunners look vastly different depending on the caste in addition to the sex. I can't tell what you intended this one to be as the armor doesn't have any indications but overall it looks too human. You got the noise down but left out the ear sacks. Lack of fur,and qills. The number of fingers varies by caste as well. The Didact (warrior servant, promethean) had 6 digits while Genemender (lifeworker) had 7. I don't understand how that is suppose to work or why the librarian had 5 fingers but i noticed this in the novels. I can't tell how tall this being is but male forerunners are generally 7 feet plus and they al seem to be muscular no mater the caste. Nothing else is coming to mind and again you did a [b]very[/b] good job i just wanted to give constructive criticism. If anything it looks a lot like a maniplar than an adult forerunner.
