A thread for showcasing any forge art I've made, or done recently and any that I have made in the past. From Halo 4's forge maps, and Halo: Reach's Forge World.
I am going to start with what I remember back from, what I made first in Reach, work my way from Reach down to Halo 4; then maybe back and forth.
The first ever successful forge art I ever attempted, was a club theme halo map on Forge World. Now I know that Halo: Reach was famous for "Club Errera," so I thought about modeling a club after that map. At the time, I was working with Dudeyoudied, when he was apart of AestheticForging; he was showing me some concepts he made up, that he thought would look great. Then as I looked for more inspiration, he asked me to go and build the rest myself. I started to crack down, and what would look great, then I kept taking long frequent breaks; then I'd come back and finish the damn thing. Now after I was done making everyone look realistic and perfect as a forge art can be. I took the picture to lock it in memory of a great achievement. The finished product, I called it The Nightlife.
The next work I did was some rather like a machine, and someone had suggest that I'd make a Transformer, and when I thought more about I accepted the challenge. So I chose the Decepticon Driller, that Shockwave himself made and drives. This what I got on my first try.

Now this next one, was another big guy, took a lot of time to figure out what pieces matched his body structure. Then at the time, my friend surrounded him in a floating roller coaster. After another long to 2 weeks I finished Demolisher from Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I really like the first one and it's nice to see another Transformers fan among us. If you don't mind, please try and 'edit' your posts when you add new photos. You can leave the additional slots with *reserved* if you think you'll fill an entire board. This is just to prevent any spam posting since it could all be compiled into one post.
Awesome work either way!

Just edit your first post and add them below. If someone else posted, you can post after them as well. |

For my next following entire, I wanted to take the chance of making Optimus Prime for a change. When I started making him I was first deciding where to put him, like where in forge world does the artificial light shine the brightest in the world of imagination. After finding the right place for him I started to crack down in terms of yet again "knowing what pieces to use." After a struggle of not knowing what to use, I completed him in his truck mode a Peterbuilt 618. I went ahead and decided I wanted the whole shebang, so I gave him a trailer to match from movie 3 "Dark side of Moon."

The last forge art piece that I have from Halo: Reach, is a revised much more intimidating and on a much larger scale than the last one. I wanted to make a redesigned version of Shockwave's Driller/pet. This only happen to take me about 3 hours to complete, and I mean heck after I finished it, took a picture of it; and put it up on my fileshare. The next thing I noticed baffled me, I was told by in message by another famous forge artist, well known in the halo community for his forge artistry. Anyways this guy told me that I was featured by BS Angel from Halo Waypoint. She features halo game captured photos, every week and I just happened to be the last guy up on Halo Waypoint; a week just before the launch of Halo 4.

Awesomeis Prime  Also, thanks for combining your posts. Try not to double post (making a post when you were the last person to post), it's allowed in some cases and I'm not stressing over this one, but just try to combine everything to keep it tidy. ^^ |

That sounds like a CHALLENGE almost. I guess you can call it a challenge, but you can't win, so why try? |

Its been awhile, since I've forged against someone else on a non competitive level. But if you don't want to take me on, then I guess that's fine. It just tells me that you don't even want to try. ^_^ |

That last photo is nothing short of amazing. Also, BS Angel... I feel like I've played with that person before. I'm nearly positive of it.

This is just a update as to what you may be seeing in my later Forge Artistry done in Halo 4. Some of things I think I can manage and hopefully build with modded maps, since the budget for forge maps are usually limited for my in depth creations done in the creative process. Some of things I was thinking of recreating in Forge consist of:
The Leviathan from Atlantis: The Lost Empire
The Nautilus from the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen
The 80 Foot Tall Mechanical Tarantula from Wild Wild West
The CCCP Devcon from Transformers: Dark of the Moon
The Ragnarok from Final Fantasy 8
Gypsy Danger from Pacific Rim
The Titans from Titanfall (consisting of all 3)
The GF Summon Doomtrain from Final Fantasy 8
Variations of the HK-Aerial Drone from The Terminator Series
Metal Gear Rex from Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Ray from Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
Shagohod from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater
Tacit Ronin from Pacific Rim
Crimson Typhoon from Pacific Rim
Romeo Blue from Pacific Rim
Cherno Alpha from Pacific Rim
Striker Eureka from Pacific Rim
Optimus Prime riding Grimlock from Transformers 4: Age of Extinction
All Variations of Shockwave from every Transformers Series
All type of Droids, mostly the ones with guns from Star Wars
Alien Battleship from the movie Battleship
Shredder from the movie Battleship
The Nebuchadnezzar from The Matrix
Wall Machine Guardian of Machine City from The Matrix
For now that is the list I plan to take on in full force. Any help from the community of PN, that would like to lend a hand in the current build, (As soon as I decide)
is more than welcome to come and join me in the the building process. For anyone that helps me complete the build, will of course get credit for helping.
Please send me a message either on here or on Xbox, if you wish to help. (I kinda wanted to get the PN community involved in my builds now.)
The ones that would be completed will be crossed out from the list, once they have been completed.

Meta, think you'll be able to make Optimus riding Grimlock as he does in the new film? That would be something to see.  |
