Description
For Kate83Kate wanted me to paint something not "in my normal style" which I assume means not well-defined, boldly colored, witty cuteness.
Well, there's a dark side in me... a side that really likes blood. Lots of it spewing everywhere. There's apparently a side of that in the one free man as well... I started replaying the game again not long ago and I had this overwhelming need to make a painting of Gordon being a total badass. I didn't include the crowbar in here but that's what he's using. And he's killing headcrab zombies and other pre-dead things not people, Gordon's the good guy.
If anyone thinks this deserves a mature warning or something just say so... it is pretty gruesome.
I hope it qualifies, Kate.

Become an MIT graduate with a Masters in applied physics, and YOU TOO can be this much bad-ass!

Oh! OH! OOOOOOOOOO!!!!! In 2010 Adrian Sheppard will return. That guy rival Gordon Freeman in "Bad-assnes" and weapon size!

Back again!
Anyway, if Half Life was ever in third-person view, it would get to that picture.
Also, what he is doing is what I did when I tried to play the original Half Life (I got so freaked out I started hitting everything with the wrench)

I've never played this game, but this picture makes me want to.
I have to say, this is totally freaking awesome, I think I'm gonna geek out.
DUDE! This is cool.
May I ask, what brushes did you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A lot of the natural brushes and the little fan shaped ones (? the ones in the middle that are kind of broken apart) I added a lot of scattering and brush affects to them too

He needs to get windscreen wipers installed to his glasses for this kind of heavy work.

Awesome sauce. You don't see a lot of action-shot portrayals of Gordon, for some reason...

I guess he's too nerdy?

Primal. Visceral. Active. Emotive. Any of these words can be used to describe this piece. I think I'll use another instead:
BADASS!!!
That being said,

It's funny, when I saw the thumbnail I thought, "wow, that's a departure from her usual style"
I like it, it looks like something you had fun making (what with the quick/rough style) and it's nice to see something a bit different.
And I didn't notice until just now that his glasses are broken.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It amuses me to think that maybe his glasses are like his breaking point... you hurt the glasses, you open a can of MIT theoretical physicist whoopass.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Or perhaps, like Dave of Narbonic, it's the other way around and the glasses break when he does?

lol I like that just as much if not more

Have you ever seen the movie "The Arrival " if so, dosen't Charlie Sheen look so damn close to Gordon Freeman?

I haven't seen "The Arrival" but does he look more like Gordon Freeman than Eric Clapton? [link]

We all have that evil little sadist in our heads.
I have had the urge to look like that picture sometimes, but I can never find a reason to do so.
Just getting irked by people I dislike isn't a good reason, getting attacked by aliens is.

That's fantastic! I actually looked to see if you'd spattered his glasses or not. Hahaha...
(I may or may not play HL2 Deathmatch almost obsessively)
Wondeful work, and an interesting deviation from your norm. Thank you.

Deathmatch? is this another game?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It's a first person shooter available for download off of Steam. I don't know how much it costs, though. Someone gifted mine to me.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Geez... its times like these that i'm sad I own the console version
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well you could still get Steam and download the shooter. I'm pretty sure it didn't come with the Orange Box or anything.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dont you need hl2 installed on your machine for those plugin things though? Its okay, i dont pc game anyway... I usually play while I'm working out on the stationary bike.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HL2DM is seperate. I don't have either of the HL games, and I can run this just fine. I don't generally PC game either, but I thought a nice online shooter would be a change from my usual.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh really? Awesome! I'll look into it then.

Actually, if you have an NVIDIA card in your computer, you can get it for free: [link]
Also, I believe that since it's a Source game, you can use that to install other free mods/games based off of the Source engine (the only one I've tried is Zombie Panic) instead of the original Half Life 2.

Aw crap I have an ATI Radeon.... grr... can I BUY that package?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I dunno about that package, but I just checked and HL2: Deathmatch by itself is $5. Also, if you have a friend with an NVidia card they can log into your steam account, have it check their system, and add the games to your account (one per computer, sadly)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
My account... so it okays you for download and then you can come back later and download it? I want that Portal thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, everything on Steam is tied to your account, so if you buy something, or get it for free, or whatever on one computer then log into another computer somewhere else you can download it there as well. Or you can register the game to your account and not download it at all on that computer (you would need to install the Steam client, though)

Sweet picture!
You know, Gordon DOES kill people, but just the ones that deserve to be killed, so it evens out.
As for the rating, I don't think it needs to be mature.

YAYZ for FREEMAN~!
possibly need a mature warning, but then again my 4 year cousin been seeing really gruesome movies, so mine a yes and no XD XD oh shnap!!

I know that why I said "oh shnap!"
...but i don't think you DO need a mature warning at all
