Halo Reach Concept: Rosenda!

Hey guys! This Monday I’m starting the new year with a custom I’ve never before attempted, based on conceptual art for Halo Reach’ Noble team - Rosenda A344! Originally created to be a possible replacement for Emile if he couldn’t handle the insurgency, Rosenda is only known from her concept art and mention in Halo: Reach. To start this figure, I custom sculpted the helmet attachment, chest pouches, leg pouches, neck guard, and a UA/Buckler wrist. Next, the entire armor was repainted in her signature Mephiston Red and Death Guard green with white for the helmet, all fleshed out with Mechanicus and Corvus grey details along with Abbadon Black. Finer details were applied with Eshin Grey, Yriel Yellow, and Bronze for the visor. Afterward, the entire armor was dry brushed in Runefang silver and black washed. She even hasba custom LMG type weapon like in her concept art! A detail you’ll notice that’s missing is the chaingun belt over her shoulder. While this is present in the concept art, I don’t believe it was a part of her armor officially, and I left it out to accommodate for head and shoulder movement. I really like making characters from EU, who should be next? Enjoy!
