Well, dont worry, I havent suddenly become a Halo fan, in fact, I dont really know anything about the games (not that theres anything wrong with them, I just a-dont own an Xbox and b-suck at FPSs so Id never buy it). These fanarts are from the webseries Red Vs. Blue, a machinema series based on Halo.
Im starting to realize that half the reason I do fanart is to give me an excuse to babble about the things I love, what a nerd.
Anyway, the series is pretty random, and crass, but you cant help but love the characters, even though theyre all horrible jerks. Its pretty long at this point, but I still recommend. Especially when you start to get to the later stuff, theres a shift to a more serious tone and thats when I really started to love it!
Anyway, its machinema, which means the animation is limited to what the game engine can do, so you never see the characters without their helmets and you identify them by color. A guy named Luke McKay went through and designed his interpretations of what they looked like without their helmets.
I loved his designs, and wanted to try them, and I also wanted to give drawing the armor a try. So I did it and it was fun, but dont worry, my gallerys probably not going to be flooded with this stuff. Now that I got it out of my system, you probably wont see it pop up again. But it was fun, and thats what matters.

I myself actually have a rain spirit character as well, so I hope they don't look too similar!

...what? They're tasty!
Okay, randomness aside, now I'm interested too, especially since my rain spirit is very out of my normal style. He's very much based on my recollections of a character named "Widdershins" from an old Sierra adventure game called "Conquest of Camelot" (And so, though the spirits don't have names, he's "Widdershins" in my head) though much, much bigger.
I can't find any pictures of the little bugger though, so mu recollections may be completely wrong.
The story itself is one I've had in my head for a while, it's fun to have a use for it! Too bad it only updates in between chapter though

So you at least can judge if they look similar, and I'll wait with baited breath for the next page at the end of the chapter! I think the chapter itself will be enough to hold me over during the wait though, hahah

I can safely say, however, that our spirits do not look the same. My rain spirit is more humanoid...which is strange, because most of the other spirits I've designed aren't. The sun spirit is lion-ish, the wind spirit is hawk-ish and the mist spirit looks like...some...weird gargoyle thing.
Whew! Glad I'm not a subliminal theif though! ...though that sounds like an intruiging premise.
I really hope that the upcoming TM chapter is enjoyable though. It's a little disjointed (I suppose you can guess that the characters were scattered) Here's hoping it turns out okay!

I think the next chapter will be good, just the fact that everyone's gotten separated will make it interesting. Can't wait for Monday!

I should have known it was you!
Well I've never heard of Conquest of Camelot, nor have I ever seen this elusive Widdershins, so I couldn't say if there's any similarities.
However I do have a picture of my rain spirit here on DA, [link] He's the blue one on the top left. Though really, he's more of a cloud spirit.
