That's how 343 Guilty Spark should've been killed.

Meh. I still prefer when their Mark V armor sets were all uniformly the same model, it's the scars of battle that differentiated them to me.
Well, that, and when they painted their number on their armor. Or painted an emblem on it.

It's a tough balance to me. On one hand I'll always have a certain fondness for the classic uniform look, but since they've established all these different variants as being a thing, it would be a bit odd if we barely saw anyone use them. What doesn't make much sense is why Spartans like Kelly or Emile use EVA (a helmet designed specifically for space walks) all the time.

Yeah, that's true about them not wearing all those armor variants all the time. Not a lot of people would change their opinion about something like what their favorite characters look like that easily though.
I always figured Kelly wore the EVA helmet all the time because it gives her better spatial awareness and peripheral vision, which would be something you'd need if you could run as fast as a car across the battlefield all the time, I imagine.
As for Emile.. Noble team throws together whichever bits of armor suit their needs, so I assume Emile must be somewhat skilled in low-gravity ops. Either that, or he chose it because the visor is a bigger canvas for his artwork.

That's awesome, glad to see some Mark V. I always enjoy your deviants. Will we see any First Strike Deviants in the near future? :')

Love you work as always, but I do think a hit like that would involve more turning in her torso.

You're right; the chest armor definitely should turn more with her upper body. It's hard to fully fix it at this stage, but thanks for pointing it out anyway. I thought there may have been something off about her pose, I just couldn't place what (sometimes when you look at your own drawing for too long you start taking some things for granted).

All good amigo. It's good to pose this stuff out while you're working on it.

Reach's designs are generally the best in the series and it made sense timeline-wise so it was a no-brainer for me to use that version.

How do you feel about the Mark V [A] in Halo 5? I've got a commission in mind

I think the Halo 5 version has some issues and believe Tekka-Croe's redesign does a much better job of capturing the essence of the original Mark V. I will draw the in-game version if asked, though.

I'm feeling for my spartan in Mark V if it's not GHOST
I'll keep you updated, the Halo 5 mark v Is growing on me but it definitely needs improvement

this is really cool. so this would be mk5(A) right with the reach version being the MK5(B) ?
i have wondered how the two armor sets relate to each other.
i do like the way you have used the EVA helmet nodding to whats kind of become her thing.
i do wish blue teams armor in halo 5 had been a lot more similar to each other with minor customisation for roles. though i do really like the centurion armour.

Yeah, the idea is that this is the Mark V(A), though I freely included parts I like from different versions of the armor. My impression is that the (B) variant is the first production model of the Mark V armor while the Mark V(A) is the final version, with AI support and possibly other perks the (B) didn't have.
I generally like Blue Team's armor in Halo 5, though I would've preferred they had more similar color schemes. But I understand the use of different colors for gameplay/character recognition reasons.

Outstanding work, it's a very visually-pleasing piece to look at. I also agree on the EVA helmet, but just the helmet, retaining the standard Mjolnir set for the rest of the armour. That goes for all of Blue Team, in my opinion the 343i designs should be more visually cohesive by having the same armour and different helmets or helmet attachments; much like they were depicted in The Package.

Thanks, and I agree. I think it's weird Kelly wears an EVA helmet all the time in the first place since it is an EVA helmet, meaning it's optimized specifically for space operations. Something like Scout would've made more functional sense for her, or even just the default Mark V helmet like in the cover of Ghosts of Onyx, but the EVA has become pretty codified by now.
