Filler Art: Halo Infinite Human AI
Heyo, sorry about the last week of missed deadline, I meant to get this filler art up but was in the middle of some big website projects. Things have calmed down a bit and I’m gonna start pushing to get pages posting again.
In the meantime, here’s some Halo Infinite filler art! My favorite part about the multiplayer may well be the companion AI. While I have sad feelings about them replacing the traditional Halo announcer, I do enjoy having a sort of buddy to take into the battle. I’m excited to see what other AI they add to unlock *cough* or purchase *cough*. Better yet I’d actually like some sort of bonding system where maybe in certain gametypes you get small benefits the more you’ve “bonded” with your AI, which can maybe be done just through time spent, utilizing the AI, winning games, etc.
I became inspired and wanted to imagine what each AI would look like as a human character:
Circ: I’ve nicknamed her “Murder Mom”. She just has the most supportive mom personality ever but the thing she is supporting is SLAYING OTHER SPARTANS! I pictured a bit of a crossover between Agatha Harkness’s “friendly neighbor” persona and Dexter’s mom from Dexter’s Lab.
Fret: If Circ is your supportive mother, Fret is your kid brother who looks up to you. I get this vibe that he’d probably rather be playing video games or reading a fantasy novel than helping Spartans win wargames, but he seems excited about helping you. His shape reminded me of game die and I wanted to incorporate that somehow so I gave him a D&D dungeon master look.
Butler: I’ll admit this one was a little too obvious. He’s basically Alfred from Batman as an AI.
Lumu: Eeek. Yeah…
I love the idea of Fret being a nerd, and now I’m imagining that he’s a great Dungeon Master, running games for Infinity’s personal in ‘SPARTAN town’ on weekends.
I may have to change from Butler now….
