Gordon Freeman- Half life

Posted Feb 15, 2010, 9:26:24 AM UTC

OK- I admit it- I get fangirl crushes on art styles, and since Half Life 2 came out, I've had a HUGE artistic crush on how they drew this guy... then all the game art came out looking just as awesome after that. I don't know anything about the guy sadly cause I don't own a playstation of any kind, and I can't handle 1st person shooters (My eyes aren't particularly stellar), but every time I saw the stunning official art for this game... yeah. 3D animation has gone a LONG way.

Anyways- I've likely got a crap tone of mistakes as I don't know his outfit, and this is an original pose for him, so lay it on easy of you know him better than me. Screen toned it for practice :) Took friggin forever to get the tones to match up, but got something fairly decent as a result :)

  I'd like to play the game- I REALLY like his character for some reason. I'm sure he's really cool ^^

  The only consol I've ever owned is a DS sorry I also can't handle action games T.T I have very poor eye sight and get motion sick playing them ^^; I can't even play Mario Kart with my friends ^^; *actually upsetting* I've always been a fan of his character design though. Donno why XD I think it's the badass crowbar XD

  Thanks I hope I was accurate enough ^^ Granted, there's not alot of shots of him in the game. He has a small, but strong fanart base too. It's nice to draw a fandom with fans that keep it real ^^

  From what I remember from the game I think it's pretty good. I recognized him instantly! I'll have to look up his fanart base. One game caracter I've always liked is DoomGuy. He's faceless, nameless...he's suppose to be you...the player...the drawings I've made of him, I think I idealised him a bit, such a courageous man facing hell alone! In my head he's hot to boot! ;P

  Yeah- I first joined the net on an oekaki channel where they were drawing the Red versus blue characters without their space suits. ^^ Fandom tends to idealise cause we want them to be pretty
