Description
It's Chell and Wheatley, my first Portal fanart.I was randomly drawing a girl the other day, and it developed into this. Took about three days, on and off, using a Wacom tablet and Photoshop 4. Blue and orange make an excellent combination, and I really like the balance of the colors and angles in this piece.
Spoiler alert, though I would hope most people have played this fantastic game by now. This scene is from the start of the game, when Chell is escaping from the reawakened GlaDOS with Wheatley by her side. At this point I was really happy to have someone in the facility on my side for once. Ah, good old Wheatley. Why did you have to go bad?
And who knew you could become so attached to an AI? I love the devious, sardonic humor of GlasDOS, but Wheatley won my heart. He's talkative, charmingly idiotic, and the British accent doesn't hurt either. Someday I'll build my own functioning Wheatley to hang out in my studio and keep me company. Probably should have a studio first. That would be logical.
Thanks for looking

Wheatley is pretty much the main reason why Portal 2 was a HUGE SUCCESS!(lol reference 
Without him, portal 2 would never have a story, or if it had, it wouldn't be as mind blowing as it is.

Very true. I wonder if Valve had any idea just how popular he would become. And how sad we would all be to see him go, which shows just how much Portal 2 messes with your mind.

It turned out pretty great the scene with those details you've added.

Thanks, I'm not a fan of drawing backgrounds, but I do think they help!

I always felt bad about Wheatly too. I would have totally held onto him at the end. Who cares if he tried to kill me? So did GlaDOS and I love her too!

I know, I miss them both. I came across one of the best fanfics I've ever read yesterday. It felt like a book, a very well written, completely in character book. It brings back all the characters from Portal 2, plus includes the Half-life side of the plot, and rounds out the story well in a way Wheatley and GladDOS fans can really appreciate. It's called Blue Sky at it can be found at [link] Yes, I am shamelessly plugging something AWESOME.
