Oh jeebus. I cannot believe how much time I put into this but I honestly think it was worth it. There are problems, yes, always, but I am frankly quite proud of this.
Is it just me or did Chell take on a sort of Erica Cerra ([link] ) vibe..?

Photoshop CS4, maybe 20 hours?

I love everything about this picture, especially the perspective and shading 
I also like those types of pictures where one character is running away and the other character is yelling a warning to them

LOL That's a very oddly specific thing to love but I'm glad this picture meets those credentials! 8D
So thank you, and thanks also for the fave

Excellent job on the movement in the drawing, I'm so blown away by the well executed twist in her torso. And the shading on the shirt tied around her hips is excellent--just the right amount of highlight. Thank you for sharing!
(I'm such a loser, drawn to this picture first by the title. lol)

Life gives you lemons, throw em in some vodka.

That sounds like a pretty good alternative.

Well you can't throw combustible lemons into vodka. Burning lemons and flammable liquid doesn't sound very healthy.

like everyone else said, that is one kick-ass background. that and the lighting and the shading and the perspective and the cute little turret. : D
clearly you changed this a bit since the original sketch that I saw in your journal. more motion. more...depth? character? feeling? anyways, it's pretty epic. : D I aim to do this kind of complete drawing in maybe ten years or so.

Awesome! Chell's expression and pose are great. She definitely looks like a woman on a mission.

Thank you! I had fun trying to echo the new "rolling-her-sleeves-up" design Valve gave her~

I did too, both times I played~ But then the second time I accidentally dropped her over the railing and I felt like a horrible person.

I'm surprised there's not an achievement for doing that. "False Hope" or something.
Meh, two is probably too many achievements for the same item.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL Seems like the kind of cruel sense of humor Valve would have. But I bet you're right, too many achievements too close together.

This looks fantastic. Love the background.
