Description For who was one of the winners in my tiny little contest, the price was a sketch.
She requested that I drew Thel 'Vadam in his Arbiter armor, he's an Elite (Sangheili) from the Halo video game series.

I like how I drew him without his armor so added it also to the picture.^^ And DAMN that armor was a real pain in the ass to draw. I know it's ugly and all, but that's how it's gonna be!
I used the Halo 2 model in this because I liked it more than the Halo3 version(also it was easier to draw *cough*).

Ah, I found it, I never found this site using this, but I love it, and I did once print this out, re-draw it my own way, then shaded it in, I'm not going to post it here or any where, just letting you know.

Seraphi91 In reply to Serconker [2012-06-12 10:28:09 +0000 UTC]

Thank you for informing me.
I would recommend that in the future you would first inform the artist(if possible) before doing something like that.
Still, glad you liked the pic.^^

Seraphi91 In reply to Serconker [2012-06-12 14:22:26 +0000 UTC]

I understand but just for the future reference.
It would be nice though to see the pic you made, you're free to post it here(or where ever you want) as long as you give credit back to me.

Funny thing is, I really like the shading, apart from I go a bit mad about it some times.. I cleaned my room yester day and found it on the floor crumbled up... Maybe I'll iron it But I need to get my other drawings up first...

Serconker In reply to Serconker [2012-06-12 14:30:42 +0000 UTC]

P.S: Me going mad about shading is also mentioned in my signature.. I hate colouring my drawings.. I can never get it correct, so I stick with B&W.. Till I get some more money and get a drawing tablet for my PC..

TFhybrid [2011-01-18 11:17:24 +0000 UTC]

Ooo....

This came out nice.

My only complaint is that the torsl looks a little to thick and humanish, but It's understandble given the need for reference and the sangheili's natureul body plan.

Seraphi91 In reply to TFhybrid [2011-01-18 11:19:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!
Yeah there's really not many references when it comes to drawing sangheili without their armor. He should also have more broader shoulders, but I was too lazy to fix it.x3

DarkSideofArt [2011-01-09 22:35:42 +0000 UTC]

Do Sanghelli have reproductive organs? Or do they propogate by mitosis?

That question came into my head as soon as I saw this picture. Go figure.

Seraphi91 In reply to DarkSideofArt [2011-01-10 09:44:08 +0000 UTC]

I really don't know but I think they're internal so not visible errr from the outside.:3
At least, that's what other have speculated too. Who knows really but the one who designed them.

DarkSideofArt In reply to Seraphi91 [2011-01-10 20:08:38 +0000 UTC]

When ya think about it, I've never seen or heard references to female Sanghelli. But I suppose they simply aren't allowed in the military, as that's all that is elaborated upon in the games.

Seraphi91 In reply to DarkSideofArt [2011-01-10 20:15:10 +0000 UTC]

There are female Sangheili, one is seen in one of the Halo animated shorts and I think they're mentioned in the books.:3
Oh the picture I'm doing for you is almost done! I'm gonna have it posted tomorrow.
