DESCRIPTION: The HELIOSKRILL is a work of art crafted by a Sangheili prodigy inspired to test her skill against the best that humanity could muster.

That Helioskrill though….Wow, that helmet is cool. Definitely Elite inspired. And that’s most likely where the ‘Helio” came from as the Elites are actually Sangheilis.

Now check out a vid from IGN of the same armor. Continue reading →

To say Sita nailed the look is an understatement. Continue reading →

In the meantime, I made a HFFL / Halo Master Chief Collection background. Continue reading →
