OK, if we’re going to be honest, at face value, this LEGO depiction of Halo star Cortana doesn’t look that great. It’s “2D”, and in places looks more like ASCII art than a portrait.
But there’s a reason for that. This isn’t supposed to resemble Cortana’s 3D model in the games. It’s meant to resemble the holographic effect she displays, which is accomplished by building rows of 1×1 round pieces and then spinning them in front of a light source.
It was built by Mosaic Bricks, and you can read a full rundown of how it was made below.
