Vicious Hydra weapon concept Halo Infinite

Concept weapon skin for MLRS-2 Hydra in Halo Infinite.

It was part of Operation: Brute Force, which spanned from January 7 through February 4 (and serves as the last Operation of Halo Infinite’s 2024 Winter Update).

Sketch phase:

these 3 were by products from more previous sketches I've worked on. These were at least closer to the target but still needs more push in the Halo Infinite aesthetics.

Sketch + Flat Colors.

Having applied AD and Client feedback, at this point the shape and visual language are leaning towards the target look and feel.

Finalizing with 2 weapon options and finding the right sense and shape for the blade attachment.

Ended up with B + A1
