Description
"Just keep your head down; there's two of us in here, remember?"I wish they made full eye contacts that make your eye a translucent blue. I had to shop my eyes to make them match evenly with everything else.
This is by far the best pose out of the photoshoot; taking pics in a skintight bodysuit while being bloated and overall a bit overweight wasn't the smartest of thinking.
I have the original Cortana cosplayer to thank for inspiring me to attempt this cosplay. Go check out her totally awesome cosplays!
This has been my baby for the past few months. I originally planned to have it finished for the midnight release of Halo Wars way back in March, but I only partially finished the costume mainly due to time. It was still a big hit at our local GameStop, all the guys were taking pics.
There is still alot left to do. I plan to add the code lines all over, I'm commissioning a new better wig from ~godsavethequeenfashi, and I'm planning on adding a molded breast piece underneath to give off the appearance of being...nude.
I'm planning to finish this one for Indy GenCon in August, where you can take pics with me at the 405th Halo Armor workshop booth! ^_^

Okay, I know this is old, but I also know you redid the costume with a latex chest piece. (on 405th) I'm trying to figure out where you got that or if you know where to get one? I've been searching EVERYWHERE!

Oh my, so sorry for the late response!
I got my chest piece from Lance over at Xtreme Design FX. I ordered the unpainted female body armor chest piece. He sells it by itself for $100, at least last time I ordered. Just email him and ask, and be sure and mention my name, Grace aka Cortana.

So, what exactly was the process you went through to make this? Did you make the body suit or purchase it?

I will make a Cortana cosplay too and I have a question : I will buy a metallic blue catsuit and I will paint the details too on my catsuit, do you think fabric paint will work on a Metallic suit ?
thanks
and you are one of the best Cortana I've seen !

Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for the late reply! I used Jacquard brand fabric paints on mine, but I forgot to set them with heat. They stretch and move with the fabric, but if you don't want them to fade, you need to heat seal them.
Aww, thank you so much!

Very cool! I am starting to play Halo 3 from the beginning again (since I got my own 360 recently). But . . . don't wanna play "Floodgate" . . .

Liquidfire3 In reply to Moyayuki [2010-04-09 02:29:53 +0000 UTC]
Thank you! Halo 3 took me by surprise, it's a really good game. Hehe, I feel your pain, the Flood creeps me out. I still refuse to play "Cortana" solo, I always ask my fiance Mike to co-op with me..

Moyayuki In reply to Liquidfire3 [2010-04-09 02:35:31 +0000 UTC]
SAME HERE! I would always get my brother to beat "Cortana" for me! I can barely get ten minutes into the freakin' level! Even the beginning/mid part of the level "Halo" is hard!
The only level with Flood in it in H3 that I can play, though, is "The Covenant". I like that level a lot despite its length and the multiple Brute Chieftains, but it is fun and you get to do a lot of fun, cool things and get Elites as your buddies!
"The Storm" is another one of my top-favorite Halo levels ever. I just LOVE the things you get to do in it!

Liquidfire3 In reply to Moyayuki [2010-04-09 02:43:56 +0000 UTC]
Haha, yeah. I beat the whole game on Normal, but Heroic still gives me issues. The Halo level is pretty damn hard, mostly because of all the freaking Flood and the Warthog sequence.
The Covenant one is looooooong, but it is one of the most beautiful in the game, and the most tragic. I HATE Brute Chieftains, mainly because they are usually armed with big guns. I freaking love the Elites, especially the dialog when you accidentally shoot them.
My top fav levels are The Ark (I LOVE the desert stuffs, as well as all the Forerunner architecture), and Tsavo Highway for all the driving as well as the awesome music.

Moyayuki In reply to Liquidfire3 [2010-04-09 02:50:12 +0000 UTC]
"The Ark" is awesome, too! I love sniping in FPSs! (Well, in Halo 3 and Call of Duty: World at War ). I loved the Elites the moment I read the Halo novel "The Flood", which is a novelization of the first Halo game. That book had an Elite and a Grunt character and shed lots of light on the Covenant. Halo 2 blew me away when I was woken up at 1am by my brother on the day it came out and I saw the opening cutscene featuring THE COVENANT! OMG, I was SO happy to see that the Covenant had their own cutscenes! And even the deleted scenes which are on the Halo 2 special edition bonus disk! One famous Covenant poem-thingy is spoken in one of those deleted cutscenes.
Actually . . . if you look in my Gallery under "Written Works", the beginning of a Halo fanfic I tried to write years ago has the quote I'm talking about in it . . .
Although I may hate the Flood, I do have some good words of advice: USE PLASMA RIFLES!!!

Liquidfire3 In reply to Moyayuki [2010-04-09 02:57:29 +0000 UTC]
Oh God yes! Hehe, sniping is my speciality, and my fiance always makes the joke, "Sniping; feeling like you are part of the game without actually being there." or something like that.
The Elites are such an interesting alien race, very proud and noble. I still need to read the Halo novels, but I just don't have the downtime like I used to..
OMG, that cutscene was epic!
Hehe, I'll have to dig through your massive gallery to find it!
Plasma rifles are a definite, as well as Plasma Swords. Battle Rifles are actually quite useful too, especially if you aim for the red feeler thingies, or as Mike and I call them, "Squigens".

Moyayuki In reply to Liquidfire3 [2010-04-09 22:14:59 +0000 UTC]
Digging through my Gallery won't be entirely necessary, as I have a Folder in it that has all my writing.
Huh, I did not know that shooting at that specific part of a Flood did more damage . . .

I've tried making a costume twice and both times my suit was just too dark or something went horribly wrong.
This is definitely my favorite and most inspiring Cortana costume.

Liquidfire3 In reply to RedHeadWolf [2009-11-16 19:40:55 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, those suits can be a major pain to work with. I'm sorry to hear that stuff went wrong with yours. If you want, I can recommend a few places where you can get good quality suits.
Aww, thank you! And thank you for the fav!

So sorry for the late reply, it got buried in my inbox...@_@
Anyways, the most reliable place I have found that will make you a custom body suit is Bodyweaver.com. They are a bit pricey, but from what I've heard from other cosplayers, it's definitely worth it since you know exactly what you are getting.

TerraWolffe [2009-08-20 07:23:30 +0000 UTC]
Awesome. Just. Awesome. I've started working on a Cortana of my own, but I don't think I could ever come close to this level of detail. DX
They actually DO make full eye contacts that are sort of Fremen-esque, but they're a bit expensive. Don't know it this helps: [link]

Thank you so much! Aww, don't say that, it just takes alot of time and patience, but I think you can do it.
Yeah, I've seen those, but they are way too pricey, and they might make me look strange. O_O Thanks for the link though.

Heh - I'm glad I popped round for a visit - I randomly read your comment on one of my old cosplay photos and you said you were gonna post photos of your Cortana costume...and here we are! Is the wig actually sparkly?

Liquidfire3 In reply to PhaseChan [2009-07-27 00:33:15 +0000 UTC]
Thank you!
Haha, I do the same thing, check on people who say they are gonna post stuff. Yeah, I kinda wish I had posted more pictures of her way back in March, just give everyone a preview. And yes, the wig is actually sparkly! I added strands of beads to it to make it look pixel-y. But I commissioned a new Cortana wig from ~godsavethequeenfashi , and I'll be adding the same beads to that one too. ^^

PhaseChan In reply to Liquidfire3 [2009-08-02 19:00:45 +0000 UTC]
Seriously - totally fantastic effort. ^^
I'd never worn a wig before until I got this one - I'm kinda glad my hair is pretty flat now! I might have a go at trying to add some sparkles to mine...
Thanks for the help, and I look forward to seeing more photos when you get your new wig! ^^

I wore a metallic spandex bodysuit, that's why it's so shiney.
