Description This was my first ever project for Half-Life 2. Source was/is my first game that I ever seriously attempted to understand in order to customize for it. I could never quite figure out other games Like Quake, Unreal etc. So Half-Life 2 was more or less a clean slate for me. So I decided to go for something simple, and the various propaganda and old Eastern European ads felt like a good place to start. Some of these images are blatantly ripped off from Google image search, but it can be justified since at the time I was still very, very new to modding. And this was meant to test the waters so to speak.

Even to this day I'm still very pleased with how they came out, considering my skill level at the time. Especially the Red Metal one in the corner. "We are here for you" was an attempt to make a Combine poster more "Pop art" oriented.

They're all great, particularly the Junior Protection one. Just now, Im reinterested in HL2 after re-reading a mission idea I had. Any tips for an idiot? (At the moment, Im considering making a copy and reskinning (or attempting to) the Overwatch Elite for a ranking antagonist)

Looks nice, and being a Combine poster guy, I mean it. I don't like the anime mix, though, but that's just me.

No big deal, to tell the truth a lot of people didn't like the Anime aspect of them. I didn't even plan on releasing them at the time but at the nagging of a friend I figured what the hell. And to compensate for that fact I did an entirely different set, although at the moment I can't seem to find them.
