Description A terrifying monstrosity encountered in the tunnels within the Halo installation called the Ark... a hideously deformed Flood Combat Form. It is made up of a Sentinel, a Brute and a Human, formed by Pure Flood spore into this beast.

It claws its prey with the Flood talons on its left arm, bites with its Human/Brute jaws and infects the prey with the huge prehensile tongue, which it rams down the throats of its victims

Thankfully there aren't any of these hideous Flood beasts in the Halo universe...

Created with Photoshop ps3... and took all day to do. I quite like how the shiny, wet gleaming background turned out

How is it merged with a Sentinel?

Sentinels are immune to the Flood (being machines and all lol) but I just wanted to draw a Flooded Sentinel. Even more impossible are the Sentinel Carnivores I invented... they (and this uuuugly muthah) were fun to create but they're totally impossible lol.

Oh. So they're entirely non-fictional, non-canonical and non-plausible.

I'd say fictional lol, but not entirely canon and definitely non-plausible I've got a lot of my inspiration for my creations from this website!

Yeah, I realised the mistake I made with "non-fictional". Sigh.

These Sentinels are so much fun to create... I didn't want to use screenshots. The Fangback Sentinel [link] (the giant grey one) is my favourite - its non-flying, walks on its forearms, uses its stabiliser wings as twin counterbalances for the giant skull and has no beam weapon.

Cool. I also see two Sentinel Majors and one Minor.

yeah, those 3, those are screenshots. I just wanted to get the scale right for the different types. This doesn't include the Sentinel Compiler though (a giant towering over 10 storeys tall)

Your artworks are pretty awesome. But I personally prefer more contemporary designs. But that's just my personal taste. Your artworks are still excellent and cool, and you do make sure your designs have Forerunner aspects.

My favourite Sentinels are the contemporary designs I'm particularly partial to the Halo 2 Sentinel. I like how it has only one eye and no face, in a sloping skull that covers the back.

Are you referring to the Majors or the Enforcers?

drskytower In reply to SIERRA-116 [2012-09-07 21:37:51 +0000 UTC]

The Minor and the Major Sentinel. It would've been nice to see Enforcers in Halo 4. But no, that won't happen.

I will get HALO 4, play it, and do everything in my power, if the game is good, to get you to buy it. That is my mission

ehhh, I've found out 343 Industries deleted the Sentinels. I wonder how you can explain why deleted characters still hang around in the current media though? The Halo wikipedia on Sentinels will have to be rewritten now, or deleted!

Definitely! Why get rid of characters who've been around for four games and everything else lol. But 343 Industries has omitted them from the Forerunner history altogether. They've been replaced with 343 Industries' geth, I mean... Prometheans. :rollseyes:

343 Industries accidently leaked game info on Halo 4 and some video game magazine picked it up. It contained detailed info on Promethean Knights. The stuff in it sounds just like the Geth from Mass Effect. It also looked like it was written by a twelve year old high on crack. Probably most of the staff at 343 Industries have the minds of twelve year olds on crack. Their Head Shonk sure does.

That's too big of a discrepancy, bigger than that between HALO: Reach and HALO: The Fall Of Reach.

I've seen the newest H4 video. And, I do admit this is the first time I've seen a developer go hard showing off not the protagonist (which is what I would've expected) but the villains. So, according to this video, we're supposed to love Promethean Knights? Because 343 Industries created them all by themselves? And they look like the aliens from Cowboys and Aliens? Yeah... Right.

Cowboys and Aliens? The Prometheans look far worse.

As in, Promethean Knights are far more terrifying and scary worse? I think they're the corniest things I've ever seen in a FPS and why are the videos rate R17... I expected to see blood and gore, instead I got Promethean Knights

A really cool zombie game. That has you chopping them up with axes/knives/etc because guns are in rather short supply.

I've got that book... and the Sentinels are rather odd little things. They don't look anything like the ones from the games. But imagine fighting Sentinels from the games with powers like that... every time I encounter them, my butt gets handed to me on a plate

lol, well last time me and my brother played halo campaign, We were jumping on them and riding them XD

I've got a couple of Sentinels that I take with me out of their designated areas... they lose all their AI and can't fly so I push em around I've also managed to jump on an Enforcer's back and ride that thing around too... its quite impressive being up there
