I have to start out by thanking ~BlastIt . A while back he gave me some of his music and whilst I didn't listen to much of it for some time, I'm been listening to it a lot recently. From my experience, I'd be prepared to say that a mixture of Dream Theatre and Symphony X is perhaps the best inspiration one can get for Halo themed artwork, lots of religious fanaticism themes to it. Very Covenant-y. Good stuff.

Ahem, anyways, Antak again. I never really found any of the covenant weaponry on Halo that inspiring (Except the energy sword, but Antak isn't high enough ranked to get one of those), but logic denoted he had to have a covie weapon. My answer came in the form of what I've given him now, his own custom modded automatic carbine.
It also has a large, cleaver-like bayonet for use in close quarters. (I was determined to draw large this time and I did it so effectively that I ran out of room )

In thinking a bit more into his background, I have added a few things to it which I think will make him easier to use for potential future endeavours.
Antak's position within his squad is as a close-combat specialist. He favours medium-short ranged combat and is trained to a relatively high level of unarmed combat as well as in the use of knives and staffs. Long range sniping is for cowards, up close and personal is how a real warrior fights.

His other major combat skill is in technical expertise. As an amateur engineer, Antak is constantly fiddling with any new piece of technology, covenant or otherwise that he gets given, and won't be satisfied until he's completely disassembled it and put it back together again. The modifications to his carbine are his own handiwork, it features an automatic fire function which can be switched on or off when needed, an extended magazine which can be refilled with normal carbine mags in long battles, as well as the bayonet.
I'll draw it separate one day.

Anyway, just a WIP, I'm thinking of Photoshopping it, or inking and using coloured pencils. I had done another one which I may put straight to scraps, but I redrew him different because I wanted him to look somewhat more fearsome. He is, after all, the evil enemy for the first part of the story. We shall see.

TL;DR? Antak Koadamee is a close quarters specialist with a passion for engineering and an Automatic carbine. Go listen to some Dream Theatre.
