Artist's Comments

EDIT: Many thanks to the guys (and girls) on the HBO forum for helping me get this image properly resized.

EDIT #2: Okay, because I am getting REALLY tired of people commenting without reading the lower part of this, I will make it simple here:
THIS IS A PARODY OF A PAINTING BY NORMAN ROCKWELL. I DO NOT REALLY THINK THAT CORTANA CAN HOLD A TURKEY, OR THAT THE COVENANT AND THE MARINES WOULD SIT DOWN TO DINNER. IT. IS. A. PARODY. ...Argh.

Done for UNSCDF's site, uploaded here because it's huge and I put a lot of work into it. This image will be moved into the scraps (where most of my fanart goes) after the holiday is over.

The characters, starting from the lower left corner and moving clockwise are: A gunner Grunt, 2401 Penitent Tangent, the Arbiter, Sgt. Avery Johnson, SPARTAN 117 (Master Chief), UNSC AI Cortana, Lord Hood, Miranda Keyes, a Brute, a Hunter, and a Flood infection form.

The image in the upper right-hand corner is a portion of "Freedom from Want" by Norman Rockwell, which this image is based on. Obviously, he's a lot better at this than I am, and also obviously, his image was used without permission, because even if he was alive I doubt he'd approve of this.


Halo, Halo 2, and all relater characters belong to Bungie Studios. All hail!

Yes, Cortana's a very cool-looking character, and mine isn't the best representation of how she looks. I suggest doing a search on deviant art for "Cortana" and checking out all the awesome fanart she gets!

My main issue with the drawing was "how the heck does a hologram pick up a turkey?". Then I decided that I really shouldn't worry about it.

lol.... It's an interesting question though. Especially seeing as she somehow managed to end up holding the Index in Halo. Or at least converting a physical object into a holographic representation.

Yeah... I always wondered about that Index thing. How come you have to do everything else for her, but she gets to hold the Shiny Thing?

Where's 343? 2401, the red bot is there, but 343, the flying bot with a blue light is missing. Wanna add him in the picture?
