A Halo inspired body paint that I did on my friend:

Cortana Body Paint

Took six hours, and there was blue dust all over my apartment afterwards. There used to be a city in the background but it needed to be replaced with some halo mappage.

So you've tracked me down...

Be sure to check out my Youtube profile for all of my videos.

It looks pretty cool with the background. Was this done for a particular event or were you just trying it out?

Looks like a lot of time went into it, good work!

How'd you find me?

I saw this in the Reach forum, I think. Good job.

Could it be a movie?
Just putting it out there. Someone find me some evidence for or against.

Looks great.



Wait, the picture or the model are we talking about?

How'd you find me?

Depends on your state of mind, bro :)

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;
Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us - if at all - not as lost

That looks awesome, good work

I like very much. Her hair should have been a slightly darker blue, but it looks absolutely awesome. Did it wash off easily?

I am a god! I am prescient!
I am religion!
I see the future, I see the past
Follow me, follow the vision.
I have become the ultimate power, I am protection.
I am messiah, I am a tyrant.
i show the path to redemption to man and the universe!

That;s really weird to look at, because she really does look a little transparent. Good job.

We did this pretty much just for fun. We went to the first day of a weekend Anime convention and got inspired by all the cosplay. Emily plays a lot of Halo so she's like "let's do cortana!" and I was like "OMG I've always wanted to do a Cortana body paint!", so the next morning we got up really early - this took me six hours to paint. Then we showed up at the convention... haha she got a lot attention.

The hair dye was permanent, because the whole thing was planned so last minute that we didn't have time to shop around for temporary dyes. My bathtub was blue after she was done washing the paint off it was halarious!





Thanks everyone for all the compliments : )

And so, Achronos lifted the banhammer high above his head, exclaming "You shall not sully these forums again!" And with one, deft blow, he brought the banhammer down upon the offender, and slew him.

Bah, what's the point? You're only goingt to troll, flame or E-raip me.

The paint effects are seriously awesome. She almost looks translucent.

Don't hate... ...loathe.

Is that background from the concept art for ODST?

Hey,
'Cortana' here :)
There were no real awkward moments...my artist (and best friend) treated me like a canvas and I was so engrossed in how awesome it was to be turning blue! The only horrible part about the process was that it took 7 hours to complete. That's 7 hours of standing in one place being painted!
