Cortana

Painting of Cortana from the Halo series. I wanted to create something that used forerunner designs and halo rings as the backdrop, as well as include a guardian incorporated into the design to add some interesting compositional elements to the piece. I used Maya to render different lighting setups and transmission/ scattering to get the holographic feel of Cortana. I combined Cortana's designs from every game into this piece. The purple from Halo 1 and 2, the blue from halo 3 and 4, as well as combining the hairstyles, body patterns, and face design.
