There isn't one, but you could contact the creator of the concept images at his site here. If you somehow do manage to get larger sizes, try to do so with all of them and post them here for all of us to share. Rob just told me that he'd love larger versions as to have more detail in his planned recreations of these structures in BCE.

I second that, but in the FAQ section of the website the guy says he can't produce prints of those images because they belong to the companies. Still, if someone could email the guy about it that would be great. I'd do it, but I'm busy with homework. Ick.
Edit: I also just realized this is the first time those have been posted on this forum. I saw them when the original HBO post went up- I love them. It's so surreal to see forerunner stuff in use, instead of the decayed machinery we find in the trilogy.

Hello Mr. Cole,
Under your "Sketches / concepts" tab there happens to be some marvelous sketches of some halo forerunner buildings.
Now, I and many others, who have clicked on the images and were crushed to see that the image does not come in a wallpaper format.
So, We're wondering If you could perhaps make the pictures, especially the first one, in a larger format, wallpaper usage in other words.
We will thank you a lot and let you join our buddy club.
Sincerely,

Re: The best pictures you've seen.
I've always imagined what a forerunner city would look like around when halo 3 came out the environments and vista's became unimaginable. Now that I can actually see it.. it takes my breath away. Forerunner architecture and design is my favorite thing about Halo, and one of the coolest Sci-Fi things I've seen.
http://www.dylancolestudio.com/sketc...ation6_v02.jpg
I'll be modeling this little piece, putting it in cryengine or unreal, and making a small scene out of it. But seriously, out fucking standing concept art this guy made. :iamafag:

There forerunner, definitely. Look at the design of most of the buildings. It's also by ensemble studio's, which just so happened to be making Halo Wars around those dates..

Re: The best pictures you've seen.
Ah, ok, I wasn't sure because it looked very similar to forerunner but the humans in the sketch threw me off.

Re: The best pictures you've seen.
Forerunners are genetically identical to humans.
Read the books and you'll know this.
-
Re: The best pictures you've seen.
Forerunners have 6 fingers, thus they can't be genetically identical. The shape of the hand is oddly simular, but the forerunners have 2 thumbs instead of 1. Maybe the forerunners discovered human kind and decided to let them be able to access things like holo panels and such because humans were the only intelligent life forms that they trusted.

True, but your index finger isn't too simular to your pinky. Or they could of made it so that it reads both your index finger and pinky, which would make you right.

Do the books actually say this? I've never read them.
That seems very inconsistent with an ARG Bungie had where the forerunners were clearly building the ark while early man was watching them do it.
Also, the hand panel doesn't match. Sure, you can say that it could be an indicator for either hand, but then where does the pinky go?

Forerunner's are human's; if you read the book the Phropets talk about how the humans are forerunner's and if the rest of the covenant found out, it would curropt them.

It's an unclear antecedent; in the above sentence "he" refers to the Master Chief, not 343 GS.

All Mendicant Bias says is that humans "represent" his makers. Take that to mean what you will, but I think he would have said it outright if humans were in fact the Forerunners.

Both of you are incorrect. GuiltySpark was speaking out of rampancy. Truth was speaking in theological context of the Forerunner leaving anyone behind they deemed "unworthy." I believe the Terminals indicate the Forerunner found humanity on Earth. In a long stretch the Forerunner MAY have seeded Earth with their DNA, resulting in the constantly mentioned with both being genetically identical, this could also explain how in Contact Harvest Mendicant Bias recognized Humanity as his "makers"
Humanity may not be the direct descendants, yes there is some evidence stating we are, but you must remember how cryptic Bungie can be.
Sorry for reviving the argument but I felt it needed my 2 cents in.
