Halo Raine

What'd they do? Sweep the cave? Talk to brooms? Clean armor?

You see, Raine is actually Noble Six and is still alive in a cave on Reach

New comment 21/01/2020-Updated Backstory (A slightly shorter and retconned one...Name: Raine Silverlock Class: Spartan IV (Recon) Armour: Air-Assault class Mjolnir (Regular), Mk V/Decimator test variant (Seen here) Overview: Raine Silverlock entered the UNSC as a Marine, and was offered a place as an ODST after her potential was seen during training and early missions. As a result of this she became a part of Squad Whitefang, an ODST Special Ops unit. During the battle of Reach in 2552, she witnessed the death of her friend Alexander Volkoff at the hands of a Brute Major, subsequently undergoing psychiatric treatment for PTSD. Following the End of the war, in 2554, she was chosen, along with Spartan Luke Adams, as a new member for Fireteam Luna, a team created by Spartan IV Thomas Bailey with the emphasis on hazardous sweep-and-clear and intel-gathering missions. She was given UNSC AI R.E.D. as a combat aid and..."companion". In 2558, while testing the MK V-B platform that would later lead to the Decimator-class Mjolnir, she took part in the first battle of Requiem following UNSC Infinity's being dragged into the planet, as well as the subsequent conflict six months later. She remains active along with her fireteam as of the Created uprising.

is this halo

They're nowhere near one. They're on the Didact's Shield world, Requiem...having just fallen out of Palmer and Lasky's Pelican. Now they have to regroup with the Chief.

I highly recommend it, Supreme Leader...'The Keyes Loop' could help augment your fleet, and ensure your galactic domination...

CrimsonQuill086

I think of it as a Mark 7 upgraged to Mjolnir Gen.2 specifications...like Naomi.

Raine: "Why do I also move slower than a fat person? It can't be the armor, can it?"

It is actually not that difficult, I have fairly long hair myself and removing a motorcyclehelmet is not the problem. On the other hand the hair often looks very messy and the skin on the head can hurt a bit when your hair got pushed against its normal flow. The thing I wonder about more is how she fits the pure volume of it inside of the helmet in the first place. That could take a long time and is probably the reason women often have shorter hair in the military. 🤔😊

Raine: Red, why can I only hold two weapons instead of a dozen of them? Red: You’re in a modern First Person Shooter game, that’s why you can’t hold a dozen weapons on you. Raine: NOOOOOO!!!! Red: I know how you feel, Raine. I know how you feel.

where's the halo ring!

Honestly, the white wolf keidrans are my favorite canine-based keidran

Someone should make a meme of this one saying: "Beware the Furrynant"!!! Hehehehe

The Furry Centinel

I was just rereading the comic, and I thought of something. This next thing is a spoiler ( Doctor Who reference) to anyone who hasn't read the following page number and I apologize, so if you haven't made it that far please do not read this. On page 727, we see Red as a keidran; who else agrees with me that we kinda need more of Red in his keidran form? And it doesn't matter if it's male or fem

Twokindsfan

When I first saw the sketch of this, I couldn't see the resemblance. I do see it though now that it's colored, even though I've never played Halo

Twokindsfan

Cool, nice detail on the armor (and dat lil fem Red)<br>Now I'm picturing Raine taking the helmet off. Must take a while to don, with all her hair!

Ordithus

I should really get into HALO, I mean from the little I have seen the story with it looks interesting, and I think I would get into the Lore, especially the major ship battles, the stragies used, and the ship types and stuff, really well.

Supreme Leader Porg

Play along indeed

Leonard Browntail

That looks like a misc of Marks IV, V(B) and VI LOL xdxd

Darknezz

Raine so cute here

Raine, Halo, my two favorite things :”3

Darknezz

"I think we should play along." <br><br>Haha. I get it.

noxamillion

This is awesome !!! XD

BMRogue

i like both versions of this better than nearly the entire halo franchise.

jo holloway

Heh, I suppose her reaction when she finally meets the Chief is similar to Commander Palmer's ''I thought you'd be taller'.

CrimsonQuill086

Now I'm wondering if there might be a little easter egg in the comic or something similar referring to this picture, considering how much effort Crimson put into the background story. I'm thinking maybe like Raine looking at a set of decorative knightarmour in Trace's estate, having a deja vú because the helmet kind of looks like Master Chief's. And Red is doing something related to his gederbent self in this scene. Would just be an idea for something happening in the background or something. Anyway, nicely done as always Tom👍

Miftox 01

I've got four of the games-Halo 3, Halo ODST, Halo Reach and Halo 4. Halo 4 was the first one I played, and it has my favourite story.

CrimsonQuill086

Yes! I’m glad these got colored already- I thought they’d qualify as the beginning of Dec scetches, so would have to wait. Looks so good. I’m a Halo fan too, but haven’t played it in a while, so nice to have a dip back into it with a crossover with one of my other favorites.

Silent Thunder

I have no idea.

CrimsonQuill086

Final question: What is the artistic reasoning behind why Red is shaded darker in the Wolf version compared to the Human version?

noxamillion

yup you aint the only one with that issue :/

JsTheWolf

Cortana from 4, background from 3 and armor from Reach. What the hell is going on.

MoppyPuppy

I really love Halo and Raine so this made me very happy ^^

JsTheWolf

Tom says it's a problem with Patreon.

CrimsonQuill086

Wolf version has a smaller resolution – 1240×709 px (opposite to 2240×1280 px of human version). Is it just me or everyone? If only with me, can I somehow get to force Patreon to give the version in full resolution? EDIT: Orthonox, as I see, has the same problem.

Mingun

Hey Tom, is there a reason why the Halo Wolf Raine (with text) picture is at a lower resolution than all the other files (1240 x 709 compared to 2240 x 1280) posted here?<br><br>EDIT: Apparently it is a Patreon site problem when it comes to embedding images.

noxamillion

Already one step ahead of you this time!

Wolf guy

Hey Tom, may you attach non-text versions of this (mainly the Human Raine if you can only do one)? This looks great on my desktop. <br><br>EDIT: Nevermind.

noxamillion

No, Chief's clearing that Landing Zone Lasky asked for so that a Pelican can take them to Infinity. Raine'll be waiting at the tank.

CrimsonQuill086

It was a sketch that was made over a week ago and it won the color vote.

noxamillion

This one looks awesome though I love it the background really fits it.

DiDiDi-X

Aphala
