Female Sangheili Sketch Study

Published:

Description

I didn’t want to over-sexualize her. As the wiki says “In Halo: Glasslands and Halo: The Thursday War female Sangheili are described as being far more similar in appearance to male Sangheili than they are in Halo: Legends. The best canonical instance, Raia ‘Mdama, was described as being slightly shorter than the average male and having paler skin tone." In Halo: Legends (which while not all of that is canon it still showed us a bit of the homeworld) we see the wife of an Arbiter. So while slightly shorter than the males of the species she is BUILT and doesn’t have what we humans would call boobs (ANOTHER REASON I LOVE THE HALO UNIVERSE IS BECAUSE OF THE DIVERSITY OF THE SPECIES ACROSS THE UNIVERSE NOT BEING STRICTLY HUMAN BASED) and she could rip your spine out in seconds.

I totally agree with this. In fact, your female here looks even more male in built than my females do (mine have a bit less muscles and broader hips). I guess it's pretty accurate and I'm really glad that Traviss describes the females in her novels as being very similar to males, and capable of killing a male with their bare claws, unlike that skinny "thing" in Halo Legends with breasts, hair and overall looking pretty ugly and weak to me. I'm glad for every artist I see who doesn't slaps hair and tits on bulimic sangheili females. It just looks very wrong compared to the males, though I do agree that sexual dimorphism is here.
