The first round of sketches yielded this radical departure from the established arbiter. He has this kind of funky "claw cape" thing on his back, and his helmet snaps shut to completely conceal his face. Also, Dave thought it would be cool to change up the weapon a bit and give him some sort of a halberd thing, so I flipped around that plasma sword thingy from the game and made it into some sort of axe...

Ultimately, this version was deemed too far from the original concept, so I tried to reign it in a bit, and ended up with this:

it was still too different from the original, so I made a few more modifications, but tried to jazz it up with a cape and a retractable face-guard...

This was still not close enough to the original arbiter, so we ultimately made it look almost exactly like the one from halo 2...wah wah! But I still got to supe-up his laser sword and make it look kind of like those old-timey decorative sword-hilts...
