While Cortana has been the focal point of all the fan art spotlights thus far, she grudgingly takes the backseat this week to a rather unorthodox pairing of video game characters. Fret not though because our favorite enticing holographic AI character does make a brief appearance towards the end of this series of pictures so she’ll be there, just not as much as you are accustomed to.
Our first piece of featured fan art was jaw-dropping sexy, the second was morbidly disturbing, the third was classically cartoonish, and the fourth is none of the above. Actually a short series of pictures created by deviantART user Jedigeek93, it tells the triangular love story of an adventurous Big Daddy, a heartbroken Hunter, and a very mischievous Cortana. While this particular spotlight won’t appeal to everybody, I found the unlikely pairing of the Big Daddy and Hunter to be quite appealing. Maybe because it’s unexpected, perhaps because they have similar body types but it just seemed right to me (until the end of course). Enjoy the oddly unique tale these pictures tell, and then let’s swap personal interpretations. I’m curious to hear what everybody thinks.

What a sordid love affair. I feel sorry for the Hunter (Huntress?). Here was a person who could understand how hard life can be and in comes this digital harlot and steals away her Big Daddy. He/she has already lost her life-partner, and now has lost his/her one true love.
What a sad, sad way to start a Wednesday.

Perhaps the Hunter will have its revenge. (Since, in Halo, betrayals come in twos.)

The huntress thought Cortana was her friend and that she could trust her. Then Cortana tells B.D. that she’s got worms. Now everything’s ruined…
All she wanted was love, but who could love a girl with worms?

Ahh, Gary’s Mod… For the casual user who wants to pose the G-Man in suggestive manners…

Aw, I guess there won’t be any Big Daddy Hunter babies running around…

Where is the hunter’s partner? =(
Also, reading Halo: First Strike and it’s F-ing amazing!
Just thought you should know.

Jedigeek is a very good friend of mine I personally know in real life, and he plans on continueing this epic storyline and ending it with a bang. (I’m sure…) Also, it’s been like, what, four or so weeks now, Angel!? o.0

Naterator, that was hilarious! It’s not easy being wormy.

that is true, they’re all made up of a colony of worms!

Hmm, seems the Big Daddy can’t get over small women… girls, A.I.s, whatever.
Beware, hell hath no fury like a Hunter (with an arm mounted fuel rod cannon and giant bitch-slapping impervious to that stupid drill shield) scorned.

A love story in Garry’s Mod…cute.

insert My Blach Dalhia by Hollywood Undead as the hunters life story.

i just love how the hunter’s leg pops when they hug… how cute… how would intercourse work anyway? one’s got a fuel rod cannon and a shield for arms and the other’s got a drill for one. so they both have one open hand between the pair. the whole thing would be like a chore, for big daddy that is… i can see why he’d dig the holographic goddess who has both hands… and she’s hot, but that’s besides the point.

Light show –
S&M baby, that’s how they would roll. Only like, the most hardcore form of it EVER.

…because the Daddy got tired of perving on small, skittish little girls all day long. Sicko.

Sigh. The Big Daddy is so selfish. Didn’t any one of them thought about the Little Sisters? It’s always the kids–they’re the ones that suffer.
