Old file, back from when I was figuring out Ryst's (and female Elites in general) build. The top two rows compare my two favorite takes on the Elite's build--Reach and Halo CE. Reach because there's much more attention to musculature, and they look powerful, monstrous, and intimidating; CE because they look refined, dignified, and intelligent.

The very bottom row is the build I settled on for Ryst (which is my standard for female Elites) compared to Fallout. She's got the overall build of a CE Elite with anatomical structure (most noticeably in the legs) of the Reach Elites.

For males, I still work entirely from the Reach build.

Art is mine.
Halo/Elites/Sangheili (c) 343i, formerly Bungie.

I agree with the description, but I have to say that my favorite depiction of elites is the Halo 3 elites.

Doesn't a female elite look like the one that comes out in halo legends? I've seen alot of people try and make them like the elites in all the games.

It was admitted that those Elites were non-canonical and that the artists took liberties with her design in order to make her "more relatable", which is absolutely ridiculous. Many artist make them look similar to their male counterparts because obvious secondary secondary characteristics such as breasts and hair don't make sense on an alien that has been classified as saurian.
