Eagle-eyed observers will be able to catch the small differences between the ToyFair model and the final prototype.
Overall I'm really pleased with how the prototype came out, we were able to get a nice amount of detail in, and the coat and bone pieces came out great in production.
My favorite part was painting the glossy mask; the reference we were given from Bungie showed this beautiful smoky effect with blues and reds. Of course there was no way to reproduce it 100%, but I liked the effect I achieved.
