Guillermo del Toro also did a concept design for the Master Chief during his brief time attached to the film. He described the process in the DVD commentary for ''[[wikipedia:Hellboy II: The Golden Army|Hellboy 2]]'', in which he described Master Chief's helmet as being ''"sleek and self concealed"''. It is likely that this direction, along with the unconventional Elite and Prophet designs mentioned prior, were those concepts mentioned as being too risky for Microsoft - who were wanting more conventional designs for a summer action blockbuster.{{Ref/Reuse|Wired}}

At one point, Guillermo Del Toro wanted to make a Halo film that he planned to pitch to several studios. This painting was the first in a series of pitch artwork that was done for it. I envisioned Master Chief's suit as a wearable spacecraft, since that’s what real life space suits are, pretty much. And like NASA astronauts, a team of engineers would assemble the suit around him. This painting was also used by 343 INDUSTRIES for HALO 5.|D=30|M=01|Y=2023}}

Here, an O.D.ST commando restrains an upset Master Chief, chewing out a Lieutenant for his negligence leading to a soldier's death. The dead Spartan in question can be seen to the far left being carried off by flight crew officers.|D=30|M=01|Y=2023}}
