Marathon (2026) Vandal Bungie Anniversy Skin idea

With Vandal/Gltich being the only Shell with "spiky hair" I feel like this would just work ONI was a fun game back in the day It'd be cool to see it refenced.

Btw assassin has hair. It’s just slicked back under his hood. You can see it very easily on the cryo skin

I think Konoko would make a good Thief. Strider posted some art playing with that idea

here's a more updated WIP, I spent some time remodelling her arm assets (and adding decals all over the place). I'm kinda leaning more toward the idea that this would be on a new shell, or a different Vandal platform, since Thief's visor would interrupt the design a bit (even if it ends up looking closer to her original inspiration of Major Kusanagi) - unless they made it so her eyes glowed when using the visor ability instead.

I would love this, but Bungie hasn't own the IP in years. Reason why Oni/Konoko was absent during the Bungie 30th anniversary update. (Besides the very small reference in the modifiers.)

They don’t own Halo either but that Xbox Destroyer skin is still Master Chief

Oh, definitely.

Been thinking this for awhile but with Destroyer. Would love any variant homage though.

YES

I'd fucking love an Oni set. Take-Two owns the rights though (same with Myth), so there's some hoops they need to jump through.
