I'm a huge, huge huge fan of the Halo game series. The Master Chief represents the perfect soldier. Life for the cause, for others, with oneself only as an end to a means. That would be a hard life to live.
Cortana is the spirit and voice of the game and series. She is only a holographic A.I.; a mind, essentially. She has no real form. She, like him, exists only to serve a purpose.
Yet...they have a very unique relationship. I wouldn't call it love...I'm not sure either one of them are capable of something like that. But...they do understand each other, and they are the most important person in each other's lives. I wouldn't call it love in the traditional sense...but there is attachment.
The end of Halo 3 is about saving her. The rest of his mission is done, but the consummate soldier sets out to save the only "person" who's really important to him. I of course took some artist liberty with this. Cortana exists in his suit, being a A.I. and all, but I thought this carried a much better weight. I'm gonna paint this. It may take a while....but it will turn out well.
If anyone wants to color this, just let me know and credit me.
EDIT: I decided to axe the background. This was designed to be a portrait, and I think it suits it better. Also made some huge improvement to the armor on his arm, his hand, and the position of his legs. Looks much better to me.
Halo actually has a very, very, very deep and well constructed back story. A lot of it is told in the novels, or side comics...but, yeah, there's quite a bit there.
I'm looking forward to painting it, ^^.

The two of them make a good team. I think the two have come to rely on one another. They've formed a sort of symbiotic relationship; and because of that, they are not whole when they're apart.
Im looking forward to see this colored. I have to admit im not very familliar with Halo but i like A.I.-based storys and movies. And i understand the picture really well thanks to your wellput comment.. Beautifully drawn aswell..
wow, this is incredible. her body is... perfect?> as in proportions, if i could spell that word. Your detail work is amazing. lot of effort and hard work you've put into this peice. Oh my, your good at armor and weaponry. This is very creative as well. Make her a real woman... *real* well... i hope you know what i mean, someone he can accually touch. Thats sweet. showing a softer side to him. i haven't played the whole game yet, so i have to see what happens when i do. intreasting he saves her~

Nope, all on the PC. Advantages of a drawing tablet, ^^.
Painting it has been damn hard, though. It'll get done eventually.
