I really don't know why exactly, but Gordon, Lyx, Chell and Rattman look simply amazing in the rain! ^^
I already created something in my mind:
Gordon Freeman and Alyx on the left side hugging each other above the rain
Chell and Rattman doing the same on the right side, hugging each other, too.
And written at the top of the drawing:
Every journey has an end and my end is YOU!

Awww...someone get this poor guy inside and in front of a roaring fire, he doesn't look so good! D: Perhaps some bundling up and hot soup would be in order...??

For sure! I would most definitely say a nice fire. Aperture is probably pretty cold. D:

I like how you can make out different colors in the shading in his back; a lot of people forget you don't just need one color at different values for shadows.

It's so fun to experiment with colors, haha
Thank you!!

The colors! The highlights in his hair! The expression like this is the first shower he's taken in years and it's bloody magical! *___*
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It IS bloody magical! Can you imagine how that would feel?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh man, that must feel awesome! *___* He must have felt so gross down there in Aperture... Imagine having to go that long without a shower or even a change of clothes.. >__<;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, for sure. D: That would be terrible!

Guh, don't even wanna think about it. @_@ Really though, this reminds me more of rain. He's standing in the rain... I dunno why he's naked, but it's artistic. XD ... I dunno, maybechell'sthere... o.o

Haha, it's supposed to be rain, actually. 
And since I had rain in mind, I didn't think of him being naked, hahaha. Just shirtless.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I thought it was rain, but the other thought The first thought I had was that he looks like he's showering for the first time since coming out and it's sunken in that he's actually free... Either that, or with the rain motif, it's more of a purification thing. That's kinda how I thought he'd be nekkid - a sort of new life thing, you know? He's all naked and wet again like the day he was first born and now, he has the opportunity to turn his life around. He's vulnerable here like he always had been while running around Aperture, but it's different because he's not covered in dirt any more, so he's slowly finding his strength...
Isn't it amazing how you can get so many messages from a single image? lol That's something I always kinda liked about art. It says different things to different people - it's almost like it has a life of its own. XD
I AM INSPIRED!! Too bad I have to write a stupid term paper and do even dumber exams first... @__@; Hopefully, I don't forget this by then!
*hums "Listen to the Rain" by Evanescence in an attempt to hold on to this feeling XDDD*

Ggasjfgjh I love hearing this. It's pretty much exactly what I was wanting to put across.
I really like that about art, as well.
Good luck writing your papers! D: I'm so glad I don't have to do that, haha.
And gahjgh I LOVE THAT SONG so much. It's so beautiful. ;w;

Guh, I just finished it. @_@ So glad that's over... Tomorrow, I'll be starting my intense study regimen since my finals are so bloody soon... gnfkdbkjdfkdkjdbkbfk its so hard to liiive. D:
Listen to the Rain is officially this picture's theme song. Seriously.
Listen to this ([link] ) + Rainy Mood ([link] ) + this picture = utter happiness. You're free, Rattmann! TT____TT *tears of joy*
I've been associating Rattmann pics with rain a lot. xD Somehow, it suits him...

Ah, congrats! : D Hopefully your finals go/went smoothly!
YES GOOD, I like this decision!
Ajhsgdj that's so beautiful. ;w; Man, I miss Evanescence's old stuff. It was so atmospheric.
Haha, I do that, too.

That first sentence kinda fails... o.O Ignore that. lol

Okay, I tried, but I can't let myself get away with such terrible paragraph structure. XD Remind me not to write comments directly after I wake up. @_@; What I MEANT to say was...
"Yeah, I thought it was rain, but the first thought I had was that he looks like he's showering for the first time since coming out and it's sunken in that he's actually free... Either that, or with the rain motif, it's more of a purification thing. That's kinda how I thought he'd be nekkid - a sort of new life theme, you know? He's all naked and wet again like the day he was first born and now, he has the opportunity to turn his life around. Or, another idea is that he's vulnerable here like he always had been while running around Aperture, but it's different because he's not covered in all the dirt that used to cling to him and hold him down, so he's slowly finding his strength..."
If I could remove comments, this would look a lot neater... @_@;

VERY nice!I'm thinking about metaphors with rain and purification when I see this.
Have you seen this?I love it.So simple,just a combination of a still image and some sound clips,but it captures/sets a mood so wonderfully.
