Last week for fan art we looked at Cortana 2.0, a fleshy more modern version of our favorite holographic AI character that many of you enjoyed. (And by enjoyed I mean ogled over and commented about her bewbs.) This week goes in the complete opposite direction with something slightly more disturbing. (And by slightly more disturbing I mean there are no bewbs.)
This piece titled “Damned Cortana” was done by ~xalener, a deviantART user whom by first glance appears to enjoy creating things that are a little more unsettling in nature. His version of Cortana is exactly how I would picture her if she succumbed to the advances of Gravemind. Viewing this as a piece of art that is meant to elicit an emotional response, what do you think of this rather ghastly depiction of Cortana?

She looks like Mileena from Mortal Kombat. Not bad though!

Cortana after she was infected with a Mortal Kombat virus…

I’ll never be able to enjoy seeing Cortana again.

My…m-m-my screen wasn;t fully loading so I scrolled down over the picture after reading the text, and I leaned forward a bit and it just popped up and made me almost piss myself. . .
Gravemind doesn’t have anything on this monstrosity, this is some sort of new thing we have yet to see.

Where’s that recovery/restore disk when you really need it?…

I don’t know… it’s an interesting take on rampancy/Gravemind infection sure enough, but the fanged look just doesn’t do it for me. Cortana with more reddish hues, dark circles around the eyes, and a twisted grin/grimace -yikes. I just described my nightmares.

O.O ……REBOOT…REBOOT!
Posted by StealthSpeed3 on August 5, 2008 at 4:02 pm
a halo/resident evil or halo/dead space crossover anyone?
Posted by Morpheus on August 5, 2008 at 4:12 pm
That’s messed up….
Posted by Chewbeccawacca on August 5, 2008 at 4:19 pm
I guess that’s what she would look like if H.P. Lovecraft penned the Halo mythos.
Posted by Chewbeccawacca on August 5, 2008 at 4:21 pm
“The Call of Cluthtana” anyone?
Posted by bravenewgirl2512 on August 5, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Interesting, but needs more bewbs. You can’t beat a good pair of bewbs, most things would be improved if they had bewbs.
I’m struggling to think of an example, I just like saying bewbs really. Great spelling!
Posted by xalener on August 5, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Wow! I’m surprised the Cortana of all things made it!
I’d expect the gravemind remake to get more views, I did a much better job on it….(I think)

I’m coming for you master chief.
(evil witch laugh)
Posted by D taktics on August 5, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Friken creepy. I’ll stick to the previous Cortana.
Posted by Naepa34 on August 5, 2008 at 9:31 pm
That’s the cortana I DONT wanna run into
Posted by Invader-Shi on August 6, 2008 at 2:52 am
Wow…that’s…interesting.
For some reason, that inspires me to pick back up on my Cortana fan art again.
Posted by Mike on August 8, 2008 at 1:25 am
I want to see it with the coloring INSIDE the lines… it seems very inspired but the quality takes away from it for me.
Posted by Araknoros on August 8, 2008 at 12:32 pm
i shat bricks…..
Posted by Araknoros on August 8, 2008 at 12:34 pm

Good catch there, Chiefy. She’s a keeper.
