I'm in for sure. I signed up on the HaloMission forums a while back.

Let's get this thing rollin'!

Dennis

**Canis Lupus** · June 1st, 2009, 02:47 PM

I'm totally in, what must I do? I noticed the entry fee is in pounds...um, so what is that in USDs?

**JediDeni** · June 2nd, 2009, 12:00 AM

It's around $1.68 U.S. at the moment.

**john d** · June 3rd, 2009, 02:37 AM

this is so bad ass the shiflett brothers freaking rock!!!!!!! my all time favorite sculptors

**JediDeni** · June 15th, 2009, 11:45 AM

I stumbled upon this gnarly reference for ODST's yesterday, thought I'd pass it along:

There are some other pop-culture items on there as well, the MJ statue is looking pretty nice!

*edit*
The flickr account is the work of Adam Ross, BTW. http://poboyross.deviantart.com/ He said it's o.k. to link to.
Thanks Adam!

Dennis

**Chizome** · July 20th, 2009, 04:36 PM

So um... I noticed all the reference photos they have up are of the UNSC forces.

Is there a rule that says we can't do Covenant? (The Arbiter specifically.) I am more than capable of finding my own references but I just noticed the lack of other species.

**TeaMonster** · July 22nd, 2009, 12:25 PM

Anything from the Halo universe is fine, Aliens, Vechicles, Scenery?

Anyone got any progress to share? I'm thinking of extending the dealine a little to Sep 20th?, what do you guys think?

**JediDeni** · July 22nd, 2009, 01:32 PM

Anyone got any progress to share? I'm thinking of extending the dealine a little to Sep 20th?, what do you guys think?

Is that when HALO: ODST comes out?

I've got my references all together and some pieces and parts, but nothing worth showing right now.

There's been 370 views on the announcement over at the Clubhouse, but it looks like we've only got 5 or 6 participants so far. I'd love to see more people get in on this. Maybe we could get a mention on halo.bungie.org or something to drum up some more interest?

Just thinking out loud.

Dennis

**TeaMonster** · July 23rd, 2009, 04:09 AM

Okay to make things more appealing foe the shy ones, I've done away with the entry fee. Yep it's free to enter this comp so do it now!

Hi Jedi, if you could relate this news back to the clubhouse that'd be great. The dealine would be 2 days before ODST is released. That'll give us time to rest our sculpting fingers ready to turn em into gaming fingers!

**Darkwulf's Talon** · July 23rd, 2009, 05:24 PM

Well I'm in and this will be my first sculpt. I'm just doing it for fun and for practice so come on the rest of you.........give me a challenge. :-)

Oh god I am so going to roll on the ground LMFAO if I come last after this post, lol

**Fovos** · August 1st, 2009, 12:44 PM

I did a sculpture of master chief and posted it here a year or something ago.......
can i submit that? or if no can i post the link just for inspiration to whoever is taking part in this competition?

**TeaMonster** · August 4th, 2009, 12:56 PM

Darkwulf; Yea that's the spirit give it a go, you're only gonna get better by doing right

Fovos: Hi I remember your sculpt well, alas the idea is to boost the competitiveness and train ourselves to work to time limits. I encourage you to do a new sculpt and try and best your previous work. Doesn't have to be The Chief, how about The Arbiter to keep your original company....? Please post up ref pics for sure.

**Fovos** · August 18th, 2009, 12:29 PM

Thanks TeaMonster, but unfortunately..or fortunately i am really busy to start another sculpture. I wish i had the time. Probably fix some of the mistakes i overlooked to the first one.
For the rest of you im re posting the link with my previous master chief for some inspiration for you. Feel free to comment.

Maybe see ya next year?

**Darkwulf's Talon** · September 24th, 2009, 11:28 AM

It's such a shame more people didn't enter. I think all the wonderfully angle-y lines have put them off.

No matter what you will definately see me next year if the competition runs again.
Thank you Teamonster for this chance to model, I had fun :-)

**JediDeni** · September 24th, 2009, 12:42 PM

I'm with Darkwulf on this one. Even though I didn't submit my entry, I had a lot of fun working on it and I'll post some pics when it's more along.

Zaahn: Nice M.C., how big (or small) is your sculpt?

Oscar: hubba hubba! I've got a HGN Cortana armature for that pose, just haven't put any clay on it yet. Nice job.
