It wouldn't be right for me not to mention someone who I have a great deal of respect for as a person and as an Artist. That would be Bungie's resident pixelsmith Lorraine McLees (aka: Mehve). She's been creating and designing Bungie characters since Oni (long before Halo) and is who created the look of the Master Chief. One of my most memorable evenings ever was sitting with her, her husband Robt, a couple of other ninja and watching them both speak passionately about their various creations. Her tales of how MS execs "didn't get" who/what the MC was and why he looked the way he did? Great story. Plus, she's recently [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post?id=63545582]done something cool for one of her boys[/url], who happen to have one of the coolest mom's on the planet.
