Foam World’s First Halo 3 Brute Chieftain

[EbonyWarriorLLC]

Yes yes, i know someone did a Brute before but it was a Halo 2 Brute and its movement was rather limited due to its size. My Chieftain is scaled down by a percentage point. He is roughly 8+ft tall. This allows greater freedom of mobilty and will give me more dynamic range to work with the props ill be wielding. Through this thread i wanna explain my methods and process in building this massive suit.

How the Brutes head started.

I was blessed to get access to 3D models ripped from the game which i coverted to pep files and unfolded. Bruh it took forever to fix those files...once i completed the base of the Brutes head i then sculpted EVERYTHING on top of it using foam clay. His eyes are casted from clear resin and the pupil and eye color were painted on the back side to create the illusion of following eyes. For teeth reference i used Halo 2 concept art, Halo Wars 2 Atriox concept art and Gorilla anatomy. Giving the sculpt crooked and offset teeth really added a whole new depth of realism.

This is so cool! I was thinking about making a brute but it's way out of my league. *watched*

Painting the head sculpt was fun. Using my airbrush i did a mix of blacks, browns and greys to get the skin tone and texture. For the teeth it took about 10 layers of progressive darkening. Starting with ivory and ending with a dark brownish yellow.

The scarring was a mix of pinks and reds which i then over layed with a gloss to mimic fresh cuts
