Halo Legends/ Forward unto Dawn 3D Model

[The Makyr]

Happy to start a new thread!

I'll be posting progress photos on my 3d model replication of the Halo Legends/ Forward Unto Dawn Master Chief armor here.
Since the Legends/FUD and concept art of the armor have elements that I like and dislike I decided to throw in my own subtle take on the design but overall still
keeping it faithful to the original. From the small details to the proportions, I've decided to tweak these elements to my liking. I hope you guys like it too!

Starting off with the boots. I originally copied the boots from the Halo Legends action figure for a start. I wasn't really pleased with the shapes as I found it to look unpleasant and goofy. So I decided to mimic the live action forward unto dawn boot design instead since they are slightly squarer and less organic in shape. It's a subtle difference but I decided to emphasize it a bit more when I finally got into 3d modelling
