Amazing Cortana Cosplay

Cortana cosplays typically feature an amazing suit, an amazing makeup job, or an amazing wig, but rarely does one person successfully bring all of those things together. One of the more talented members of Halo costuming and prop site 405th.com is an obvious exception to that rule. Investing the time to create an entire costume from scratch, the aptly named {Cortana gathered Lycra, a needle equipped with stretchy thread, fabric paint, a bead-adorned wig, and water activated, moist cake makeup and proceeded to transform herself into a ridiculously realistic version of our favorite holographic AI character. I would give her the title of Best Cortana Cosplay Ever but I have a vision in my head that consists of nothing but big bewbs and body paint. Until I can get my hands on those pictures, enjoy a few more shots of this costume after the jump.

*A special thank you to Jim 028, whose visions of Cortana’s cherry dance in his head, for the tip!

This Cake is Not a Natural Formation

Love is a many splendored thing. Often it inspires grand gestures intended to bring happiness to the one who makes your heart skip a beat. To some people that means you wake up early each morning to make them amazing and edible video game-themed bento boxes. To others it means you write them sappingly sweet love songs influenced by their favorite video game. To deviantART user Saiyan-Silk it means creating a birthday cake in shape of a certain shapely fictional artificially intelligent character. Her husband’s birthday was quickly approaching, he requested a Cortana cake, and she more than obliged. Based on the Halo: Combat Evolved version of the holographic AI, the delectable cake was finished with beautiful purple smoothed buttercream icing. For the record, even before I saw this cake, I have always preferred the parts with the most frosting. Yup, I’m going for a bewb piece. Deal with tit. I mean it. I mean damn, I’m hungry.

Fan Art: Cortana 2

If there’s one thing I’ve learned from our ongoing series of Cortana-themed fan art spotlights, it’s that we all have very different preferences of how we like to have our favorite artificially intelligent character depicted. I find myself preferring the more human versions of her as I enjoy the stark contrast to her appearance in the game. Others like it when she is shown closer to her in-game holographic state as it stays truer to the original character.

The last piece of fan art we looked at was quite realistic as it was actually a digitally manipulated stock image so this time around we are traveling to the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Created by deviantART member ~PaintedSamurai, my attraction to this toon-style piece revolves solely around her expression. She has a certain almost annoyed smirk that just seems appropriate for her quirky personality. Be sure to check it out, assuming you can pry your eyes away from her bountiful bosom. Hit the jump to see cartoony Cortana in all of her glory and as always, I’d love to hear your opinion on it (except if it’s about the bewbies, I already know how you feel about those).

If you notice you are frequenting the virtual battlefield of Halo 3′s multiplayer more than the comfortably familiar campaign these days, you may find yourself missing the sporadic appearances of a certain sexy holographic character. Lucky for you there is a custom Xbox 360 faceplate up for grabs on eBay right now that can make your loneliness for artificial intelligence disappear almost as quickly as your health does on the Cortana level.

Purchase here : wrxdj’s eBay Store
Buy It Now Price : US $90.00
Auction ends : Sep-14-08 03:23:58 PDT

Featuring real blue stained glass accents and silver etching throughout the faceplate, the very familiar Halo logo sits behind a Cortana figure whose ass appears to be glued to the power button. I personally don’t care for the appearance of this faceplate as it’s much too busy for my tastes, but it may make a nice collectible for anybody who is particularly passionate about Halo. Then again, $90 seems a bit pricey so perhaps you should just grab your own Cortana action figure, set it next to your console, and call it good. Don’t worry, you can still press that certain little area when you turn on your console if it makes you feel better.
