#this is actually the first time i've (seriously) drawn master chief aside from memes #i had this idea in mind for a piece abstractly depicting his nebulously intimate dynamic with cortana throughout the games #the grief of losing her (twice... three times???)#and left with a kind-of clone of her that he can't fully trust up until the end of halo infinite ig #alternative reading of the latter:#chief learning to love this...#quirky AI “daughter” - joyeuse - that he didn't know he had LOL #basically big green guy has a freight load of trauma and grief #dude needs a hug #halo #halo fanart #halo art #master chief #cortana #joyeuse #the weapon

Wanted to challenge myself with this one! Took about 5.5 hours.

Bonus points if you know the names of the swords!

Catherine Halsey is pretty weird

Like, yes, the whole "kidnapping 75 six-year-olds to turn them into murder machines" thing, but that's not what I'm talking about

No, I mean, she had 4 daughters and only ONE of them happened through, like, normal human reproduction

There was the out-of-wedlock thing with Captain Keyes that made Miranda, of course

Then you got Cortana and The Weapon/Joyeuse who are flash clones of specifically her brain who got turned into AI

Then you have Chloe Hall, the kid she didn't even realize she had because she wasn't supposed to survive this long, who is ALSO one of her flash clones, but ONI sent her to an orphanage and, since she was literally born to be turned into an AI like her other sisters, she has the brain of a full-grown adult AND THEN SOME before she's even supposed to be able to READ. She's so good at hacking and calculations and all the other stuff an AI is supposed to do that she skipped outta the orphanage and, until Empty Throne, worked for the kig-yar mafia cooking the books for one of their casinos.

...

Man, Halsey's family is fucked up, it's not exactly a ringing endorsement when the normalest of your kids was literally created to kill a different one of your children who went insane and SUCCESSFULLY took over the galaxy for like a year. And your other two kids are, as of present-day lore, "dead from pulling a stupid stunt that didn't even work" and "a 10-year-old who's already an ex-gangster on the run from ONI in a Prowler that the dead previous owner bought on eBay"
