Titan Character Design (Fan Art)

Just wanted to post my Titan character Design that I did for Bungie. Let me know what you think!

http://josephbiwald.deviantart.com/art/Titan-373367522

Description: This is my Character Design for Destiny. He is a veteran Titan, forged from the strength and sacrifice of his fallen brothers. ("m going to upload the color version later today.)

I based my characters armor off of Greek Spartan armor, and studied Destiny character concept art to help me out with the overall character build. I also made clean turn around poses for this character and will be posting that in the image description later (hopefully modeling the character later this year). Enjoy!

Took about 5 hours in Photoshop to paint.

...how this armor will never make it in the game. :(

Lots of Halo and Mass Effect influence. The helmet reminds me of CQB.

Thanks for the criticism. My only influence on armor for my character was Destiny character designs, and Greek Spartan armor. I see some similarities from Mass effect and Halo yes, but you can find similarities in almost every armor set produced now and days. I wasn't planning on trying to get this armor in Destiny. This was just me having fun.

Sorry to disappoint, but I really liked it.

Turn down the fucking sarcasm next time, Natalie. Dumb bitch. I'm seriously sorry if you thought that I disliked your piece or read that as criticism.

I really liked Biwald's Titan concept. So much so that I'd give him a scare with a less-than-approving post title and then be remorseful by being sad that this won't be in Destiny the game, raising his spirits because someone thought it was that good.

Yes, that part was clever...ish. What was with that other post and the cursing and name calling? Who is Natalie?

I do believe that Grizzlei herself is Natalie. The comment you mentioned was one of self deprecation because Grizzlei's/Natalie's attempt at complementing Biwald initially failed...I think.

Ah. Talking to one's self out loud didn't occur to me.

Ah, yes, talking outloud to one's self as vehicle for social shaming. Can be effective in reinforcing lesson to self. Other's view of mental stability however can be... *snif* problematic.

Hmm. I can't decided if I should read your post as River Tam or Mordin Solus. :p

Lol, I read that in a few different ways (Good and bad). It's alright, thanks for your "input" on everything.

If it makes you feel any better, I picked up what you meant straight off.

Hey, guys, remember when Mass Effect was shorthand for good? Not poking fun at you Grizz, just making a humorous observation here.

(Very cool design, OP, btw.)

Ah, the good ol' days, when I could run around in ME3 multiplayer without tripping over biotic Voluses or supersoldiers with psionic whips.

Dude, I think this is awesome! The community continues to amaze me and make me jealous of their wicked mad skills.

If I may make one comment, I think it would have been kinda cool to have your Guardian in an action pose, or at least in less of a relaxed stance. Something along the lines of 'at attention' or other military like pose. But that is totally a personal preference, and it doesn't at all take away from the awesome work you did!

Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep your comment in mind next time I make a "character only" illustration.
