very MAXIMUM RISKY I approvez.

ThatsMrOffDutyNinja

The hair is bad, but the paint is fantastic. This is what I was wanting to do for the next NW Con (this level of painting).

alice_mega

"man hands!"

Crrusher

Hot. Could be hotter.

PsycheDiver

Wow, i do like the detail though.

You know if she want to a game con for a cosplay contest, she would win hands down...

ZeonicFreak

Damn this weapon contains full nudity! Awesome.

nackt

my first Halowank. thank you.

Spacebaboon

Smurfs: The Reckoning

JamesJohnMalcolm

Am I the only one that noticed her vagina is smiling?

killr_klown

No sir, I don't like it.

Kamizzle

@tsukihimeblood:

You have Pedobear as your icon. No discussion is necessary on the perv factor.
Of course, the fact that I recognize Pedobear in the first place...

Mujah

Its always good to see a halo post even a halo hater like me can appreciate. ^_^

The Amazing Exploding-Man

Is Blue the new Asian or what???!!!

DARTH_TIGRIS

Cortana has a belly button.

Jordan Lund

She's kind of shiny. I don't find this sexually attractive at all, more artsy than sexy. I like the blues, though.

shrewd

hairs to long. wait I am looking way too high(looks at body) much better

Yahtzee

On the first picture, doesn't the two arrows on her legs look like it's pointing to her vaginal area ...

O_O

SpacemanSpiffy

wow and no fish! im proud of you kotaku!

ChiliC

Hmm, I don't know. My standards for women that're more airbrush/shop than photo are pretty high.
Those knees look kinda sharp.

KraZe

Give her funky tentacle hair and man... that's one awesome ASARI =)

Blanku

That is some amazing art work, I can only imagine the time that went into that kind of detail. And I don't know what materials they used but they give an amazing lighting effect.

voidbringer

She looks a bit slimey.

Mecharine

hmm needs more nips

Allcars

I hadn't realized kotaku was 4chan without the anonymity and slightly less vulgarity...

Well, she did hold the Index for a couple years, and it was solid when we first saw it...

sephycloneno15

"Hit the link for the full gallery. Except for you. Yeah, you. You don't even own a 360 so you're just a pervert."

Dammit Mark. You got me.

Amuro1X

Haha honestly those look really awesome.

But they need more nipples. :(

NutManIV

@exo: Or genitalia. o_0

EgoMonk

Blue, seriously? I want pix of that green alien Cpt. Kirk used to tap ;)

-EDGE-

Call me crazy, but I think she is probably better looking with the paint on, rather than off.

Zyzex_Remix

Decent body. The face... no so much.

cybereality

@cortana: But its a happy sort of dirtiness isn't it?
:)

Onizuka-GTO

I FEEL DIRTY NOW!

cortana

@xvitium: Mmm... Chun-li thighs :)

xMaverick

*puts on thick lensed, big black glasses* Excuse me miss, Cortana is not a tangible being and is therefore unable to wield a weapon in the conventional sense of the word, 'wield'.

Hah, that's just creepy. I've seen Halo3 chairs, Halo3 action figures, Halo3 laser tag guns, and even Halo3 lamps. But this is just too much.

v-rus

They gave Cortana Chun-li thighs.

xvitium

Seems as though I didn't leave all my anger at the gym

NeutralFanboy

Her body is shiny, I wonder what liquid covers it ;)

Tracid

It doesn't matter how many billions the industry makes, the geeky stigma that comes with video games will be with us forever as long as someone is doing something like this.

NeutralFanboy

oh my

Bob6k

@DaiMacculate: a-GREED! :)

Spoony Bard

She looks too...slimey.

ThisCharmingMan

@Doomstink: Heh, my fiancee works for the company that owns the group/show, and she said the vast majority of people there share your opinion...but you can't argue with dollars, and it seems to make them.

@Spoony Bard: Actually its fine in two cases, the first being what you did just there in mocking it, and if its part of an extended metaphor in which it serves as some type of dirty, anatomical component.

Just IMO, of course ;)

DaiMacculate

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: Yep. Give me a naked Liara or Tali over this any day. Nude cybernetics & all.

Nexus6

HAHAHA, people are looking WAY too into this. XD

YUYU

yuck, and why would she have a gun?

marcus_ivo

Looks like something from that creepy Doodlebops show on the Disney Channel. That show scares the shit out of me.

Doomstink

That's it? C'mon.

octoSink

Wow.
I. Uh. Wow.

*glances at avatar*
F*ck

Zeouterlimits

Mmm, is nice, I like...

Barts

hot. and i have seen body paint that removes nipples by smoothing them over. also navels, vaginas, any form of wrinkles or skin definition at all, and the space between your toes. or shes probably just wearing pasties and a latex thong.

i have to make nerd noises about the hair though. cortanas hair is a very unusual style if you look close. that wig isnt it.

red

Awesome! Must think of something sexy and Halo-like to say....ummm...she can arbiter my spartan anytime!

Yeah..

Skitzoap

Now where can I sign up for the USNC?

altshiftM

@UntouchableC: I've said it before and I'll say it again.

Pro tip: The use of the phrase "pro tip" is no longer cool.

A public service announcement from the Council on Pro Tips!

Spoony Bard

next up, Zero Suit Samus please.

SpikyBry

That's actually pretty hot.

Camzor

@UntouchableC: Repulsed? What's your problem? Halo turns almost everything into utter crap, but not a hot girl. I wouldn't be repulsed by her at all.

Ruglia

Crtical nerds are critical.

Best Cortana cosplay images ever.. deal with it.

SeanBradley

@tsukihimeblood: It's not Enthusiast, it's Fetish.

excaleranth

@tsukihimeblood: Nice one. Almost goes with the Avatar.

XD

Klappstuhl

@UntouchableC:

Or atleast get the details right? Since that's what the bulk of your post deals with. :)

Feigro

@Ghede:
Body paint, uh, acid...

LittlestLamshi

She looks awfully slimey, and in a ghostbusters kinda way, not a mud wrestling good way.

though she is quite a purty model (it's the boobies!)

Stueymon

If thats not photoshop, it is body-suit. "How do you know?" I hear you ask. I've yet to hear of body paint that removes nipples.

Ghede

@Slatz_Grobnik: Arrgghh! The fear!

superbabyproject

Hm. Sadly, I must give this the "meh."

Come on hawt female Halo fans, you can do better than this! Show this chick how it's done. And send me the URL.

Slothboy

Definitely more photoshop work than body paint.

BossMonk

That gun looks so lame. I like halo in all but always found Bungies design to be weak.

mahi

@Cutriss:
Actually Cortana in Chief's Skull half the time....

LittlestLamshi

So, what, Cortana's AI profile is usually stored inside an Atari joystick?

Cutriss

@DasKonstruct: i was thinking the same, it was a rushed work ...

symphony_of_the_night

@Datalock: You take life to seriously

Kyle81

I can't wait till some of these fanboy's bitching about "she's a hologram she can't hold gunz0rz!!11" finally get a girl, then make them retreat when they yell at them for calling a phaser a "Blaster".

Datalock

@-MoarPlz-:
somewhere, someone theorized about "takes one to know one..."

LittlestLamshi

Can someone do this for SHODAN? Please?

Slatz_Grobnik

Somewhere, someone is masturbating to this and my faith in the human race decreases exponentially.

-MoarPlz-

Looks to me like she's wearing some sort of top to cover her breasts, and some sort of bikini bottom.

I like the illusion, though. That's much better than some other jobs I've seen.

Dave Silva

OMFG MASTERCHIEF NAKED LOLZ

OllieCostello

Now all you guys saying it's crap are totally full of it. You know you'd hit it, even in the blue costume. I know I would.

radink360

Ohhh... this all makes sense now. I thought it said "Contra."

.... But then why would I click it?(!)

Oh yeah, I also saw "Naked."

DONNYchiban

Wow, well I have to say that's more tasteful than I expected

Kounji

Guns don't kill people, WOMEN with guns kill people!

Jobbo_Fett

Who needs a gun when you got CLEAVAGE.

FeatherNET

Expecting something faptacular, but turned out to be a complete turn off by the simple fact that Cortana cant hold plasma rifles.

I soon became repulsed by her because shes clearly blowing the barrell, but a plasma rifle both overheats and expels smoke on the frame.

Plus cruddy photoshop is cruddy.

Pro Tip: When appealing to even the slightest of geeks, unless the female(s) has geekish tendencies, fuck the cosplay route and just do a nude photoshoot...I've been coding all day, I just wanna see some PUSSY!

UntouchableC

Kinda reminds me of Mystique.

Gray665

That gun was featured in a prior story. It is a real product used for laser tag. Not photo shopped.

say

Piff, Guilty Spark 343 is so much hotter than Cortana. ...What?

kojirodensetsu

This is pretty cool and bit scary for me at the same time.

WolfGod

im buying a 360 tomorrow k?

HarmanSmith

Needs moar reproductive organs.

RaveGamer

@exo: nipples are easy to photoshop out

DasKonstruct

is she really trying to blow powder out of a plasma pistol?

turius

@PatMan33:
Just wait for nighttime.

Lstormy10

she isnt naked... unless that model has no nipples.

exo

*freezes*

erm........erm....how you know?

*wii-note flops from hand*

oh....

dammn.

>_>

Onizuka-GTO

Dual Shock-ing!

njhardcoreguy

This is minimum risky compared to the results of a google image search of "cortana." (Yes safesearch was turned off)

Floral

wonderful thing about hologram sex is that you can stick it ANYWHERE...

icepick314

i think they captured cortana's image pretty well.
plasma rifle aside.

Crawl to China

Wow ugh. she looks like someone smeared her with blue feces. Nice stickiness going on there. BLGhhgegh. Then again i'm the type of guy that thinks putting naked chicks in mud is just unattractive.

Sunjammer

Mm-Hmmm....I wouldn't mind if she went Rampant all up in my logic core, if you know what I mean...no you probably don't, but lets just say that was Hot, ok?

DaiMacculate

Something about the airbrushing on her crotch is so off... You'd figure the artist would be more into his work than that crappy job.

x753z is backwards!

ugh this is really crappy photoshop work. The lighting is all wrong on the guns and box. All they did was increase contrast and made the image monochromatic with a blue and then a darker blue overlay for the patterns with a lower opacity to keep the highlights. Its maybe 40 minutes of work per image.

DasKonstruct

Indeed my crush on blue women has been affirmed once more.......cortana...the alien from mass effect....smurfett....

3zekiel

@Kyle81: And you know you have reached the depths of Nerddom when you worry more about the imposibility of her holding a gun rather than admire her beauty :P

zoesch

@Poffy: nominated for multitap.

Gunhaver

@Temperature:
It's not the size of the plasma rifle the counts... but how you use it.

hondo

Um, don't get me wrong, she is not unattractive by any means. Just that...well...if (virtually) I had to choose a sci-action alien heroine, it would be Liara or Sha'ira from Mass Effect.

SigmundTheSeaMonster

@PatMan33:
It's night somewhere buddy.

The plasma rifles look to nerfish.

TheEngineer

Hmm.

That's all I got for this one. Hmm.

Magic Emperor Anima

Nice....but what the hell is that gun...looks like two dolphins stuck together.

nxp3

Bloobs! Put up your free hand if this reminds you of Zahn out of Farscape ;)

Netizen

How she holding a gun? What kind of ......

Kyle81

Is it just me, or is that plasma rifle really big?

Temperature

Meh. Cortana can't hold a Covenant Plasma Rifle. She's a hologram!

Now, come back and show me the blue gal from Mass Effect...mmmm.

SigmundTheSeaMonster

Fap fap fap fap fap fap. There, Someone was doing it, i added in the sound effects.

Jechticknight

What!? Maximum risky? But... but it is still daytime! I'm liking this change in pace!

PatMan33

If loving blue women without any discrenable anatomy is wrong... I don't want to be right.

itsburnsie

I give a low score 10 on the 1 to 100 Risky Meter, tut tut.

Knight-Zero

I like the first but the second is a bad shot.

-Sigil-

I can't wait to get my 360 back for this new downloadable content!

Heyyou27

Uhh... yeah... she just looks creepy in the second pic. And I feel creepy for saying "YAY! NO POINTING FISH!"

ShaggE

Really?

I mean, really?

Moonshadow101

i'm not a pervert. i'm just an AI enthusiast

tsukihimeblood

Cool. I can honestly say that this looks awesome, but not in a perverted way.

Taco Bell™

Is this canon?

Poffy

Ahhhhh, you caught me out.
:D
