Thank you all for the praise as well as the constructive criticism!
I took another stab at the armor. This one still keeps to the style I had originally envisioned for the Forerunners, while offering at least a little bit more mobility to the guy sealed inside. Also, I went back and added ear-sacks, as well as patches of arm-fur (so soft) to the [url=http://lakeandmountain.tumblr.com/post/55713728756/after-posting-the-earlier-designs-on-the-halo]Manipular[/url] anatomy.
I'm considering painting versions of the Capital and the [url=http://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forum/Post?id=61249636]Primordial[/url] as well.

Really love this. The armor looks slick, while also looking geometric and complex, kinda like forerunner architecture. There is one thing that bothers me a teensy it though. The pattern underneath armor works really well underneath the chest plate, but because it is repeated throughout his body and limbs, I can't shake the feeling that underneath the armor he is wearing a beautifully patterned onesie. Really love the overall piece though! Much better than anything I could do.

Believe it or not I preferred the first version you posted. It had more in common with Bungie's forerunner concept.
