So well done and love the claws and skin texture but wow Sangheili have such an unattractive head.

Yeah, I fiddled with it for a while and couldn't make it better.
It's probably possible to make a cute cartoon carricature, but with realistic textures and on-model anatomy they're going to look very alien.

Personally, I appreciate the on-model/realistic head! Part of their charm to me was their expressiveness in spite of the traditional human mouth. Softening that would be more appealing to some, but somewhat misrepresenting them.

Plus no lips means all deepthroat, which I am all for, lol. I also appreciate that you gave her a small chest, fits their quasi-reptilian nature nicely!

Nothing against your model. It's VERY well done and very accurate to Sangheilli.

Really like this. So normal that it feels so weird.
That makes sense right?

It's what I was going for. A dose of mundanity is what I feel the Halo books are really lacking. Like a small, personal story of a sangheili woman who finds faith again in Cincinnati.
(I am so salty that the show decided to rehash the games, but worse. There are so many interesting potential stories after the war, that would be perfect for TV.)

It would be so good. Like a star trek-ish theme but 50/50 planet based. The show could easily lean towards their everyday life with long after the war future/flashback jumping scenarios. Current tech still makes CGI tedious and expensive. Once A.I is up to speed and most of the uncanny images are put to bed, full CGI scenes with a touch of practical effects will be a breeze by comparison.
