Halo Covenant Designer Infos

Auf der offizielen Halo Site Truth & Reconciliation gibt es einen kleinen Text (engl) über Juan Ramirez, dem Mann der die Covenant Elite Statue angefertigt hat. Er beschreibt kurz wofür er zuständig war.

The Covenant Elite statue is the third Juan has sculpted for us, but the first created with Bob's assistance. Juan's first Bungie-themed sculpture was a Trow, which was used as a prize for Bungie's Valentine's Day Massacre Myth:TFL Tournament. This was initially a commissioned piece which Juan took over and finished in a weekend when it be came apparent that it wasn't going to be ready in time. His sculpting talents were used again later for Myth2 when he sculpted the Soulblighter's Head pencil holder and the better-known Myrkridia statue.

The sculpting process begins with pictures of the subject and sketches of how the final sculpture should look. After we provided Juan with some pictures, he came up with some sketches and began work, sculpting most of the body, head and arms using a clay called "Super Sculpty." Super Sculpty is a "thermoset" clay (meaning it hardens when exposed to heat) made of polyvinyl chloride, which is very clean and malleable and will fire at a relatively low temperature. At this point Bob sculpted the armor and weapon and touched up other parts, adding detail.
