Spartan McCloud: Studies

Further development on one of the Spartan-IVs for the Halo story which I've been working to bring up-to-date with Halo 4.

For reference, my initial illustration can be seen here: [link]

I've refined the design of my custom leg armor, and done a more detailed sketch of the back-mounted thruster units. I've also decided to use a less Reach-looking color scheme. It looked great on the Mk-Vb armor, but no so much on the new Gen-2 armor. I'll be using this as the basis for a more refined reference down the road.

Torso- Recruit (Modified)
Helmet- ODST
Shoulders- Air Assault/VERGE
Forearms- XV-27 Shifting (Modified)
Legs- ??? (Presently unnamed variant)

Bonus: I also included the full version of Spartan McCloud out of her armor, which I had cropped down for that initial preview image.

Spartan Reina McCloud is pretty obviously an adaption of my OC, Reina Cloude ([link]), but several years older, and about a foot taller.
