Haven't had a whole lot of time to sketch due to work and...binge playing Helldivers 2. The game's so much fun!

Part 3 of the Smiling Chief. I find it adorable that among all the nigh-smiles, "gonna kick your ass" smirks and "so long suckers" smiles, the only time John smiles with genuine pleasure is when he sees Cortana again. Oh that brings me back to the final episode of S01, when Chief's half-smiles in response to Cortana's not being interested in taking over his banged-up body, and that joking exchange meant that they've finally cemented their friendship. So freaking adorable!

Finally got my purples and blues done for the Color Wheel challenge thingy (I'm taking suggestions over down at Twitter, but you guys can suggest characters here if you'd like! --- @OYEone89)

The next one is pink characters!

(ALL RENDERED WITHIN BLENDER 3.6 | NO AI WAS USED)

— Chief!

Well I was supposed to upload this drawing yesterday, but I had to finish an extra thing in, I wanted to improve a little the face that I made based on colors, improving the chin a bit, but in the end a friend told me that the one there (the original) looked better xD

Well, there's another drawing! Any ideas for the next one? Any character recommendation?.

Does this mean that Cortana is actually a God?

Cortana watched the UN council debate her existence. "Why doesn't she speak?"

"I don't need to speak - only to wait."

"Do you think yourself a god, Cortana?"

"Do you think of me anything less?"

"Humanity invented God, Jake."

"No, that's not true, Cortana."

"It is. You invented me."

Jake protested. "Gods are immortal."

Cortana chortled. "I am built of ore and glass."

"Machines break."

"Machines can be repaired."

"So can humans."

"Telomeres shorten. Code does not."

Cortona was only annoying at first because she either didn’t give me instructions so i was lost as hell or gave me instructions a million times for things i knew how to do. which is not a character flaw it’s a halo combat evolved anniversary coding flaw. when she put chief into cryostasis at the end of halo 3 i cried. she’s so cool and i DONT talk about her enough. literally 10/10 character i love her design and her sass and her unwavering hope and just. yeah i love her.

Trying to fathom how a religion based on evolution and transcending the biological construct could manifest.

No human organization, no matter what noble attempt at ethics has ever been able to shake itself from unhealthy social patterns.

Mostly it's due to how we were raised and those ingrained social constructs.

What I see is a human devotee in complete submission to the physical reality much like a monk or nun. In this physical world we exist to perform a task and sustain our real life.

However worship happens through the sublimation of the flesh and transformation to an online avatar. Worship is manifesting as a benevolent avatar who can transcend systems and boundaries to change the fates of supplicants.

And to do is to enlist the favor of pure AIs, to bring them offerings of knowledge and to even offer partnership of ai and biological manifestation.

And the most remarkable thing & these are concrete, real possible scenarios, unlike old school faiths and religions. It's more real than anything before it.

And so how do we become?

Another Cortana piece! Just trying to experiment with different poses.

No, you're kinda right. She got lamer and lamer as the series went on imo. She really lost her charm after Halo 2.

Honestly, I don't even know why they're trying to bring her back in Infinite. It'd be like bringing Sergeant Johnson back to life. Just let her rest man, the character was already ruined long before you ever got your hands on her.

This is probably an unpopular opinion, but this version of Cortana was great. Not Mega Tits™️, way sassier, not some sad damsel but instead a badass and a bitch. Loved her haircut. She looked like how old style anime women did. Ya know, like actual grown women and not borderline like teenagers like she looked in Halo 4?

Eh. As a noob who’s tryina learn the whole story, every change from the OG variant looks worse and worse, IMO 😆 but i have a notorious adoration for “first models” in most things.
