Description
Captain M. Walker from Spec Ops: The Line.Spec Ops: The Line is fuckin' immense. Seriously, this is an awesome game through ad through. I completed it in one sitting. Not saying it's a short game, it was about 10-12hrs, it is just that good. I couldn't tear myself away.
Thought I'd try a bit more of a digital painting kinda style for colouring this one. Still need to work on my backgrounds, but I'm getting there. Messed up his face a bit, but I'm workin' on it, folks.

Ironic that Nolan North, Martin Walker's VA is also the craziest chimichanga eating degenerate alive killing people in humorous ways...

Whatever happens now, don't be too hard on yourself. Even now, after all you've done.
You can still go home.
Lucky you.

I shall not lie...this game made me cry. It is the most gripping storyline I've ever seen in a military themed game. And I'm disappointed there isn't enough fan art and attention going towards the game. But this was a a good picture. It looks just like the loading screen after the...event.

I can't say it didn't get me like that, if I'm honest.
Thanks.

So... what did you decide to do with Walker at the end?

In the end on mine he lived and didn't open fire on the marines sent in to find him. Y'know it's a good story when you sit down and agonize about whether you 'did the right thing' in the last stretch.

I went through all of the other endings myself. And the one I choose for Walker now is him dying from the rescue teams gunfire.
I mean, Walker may have been the player character, but after the shit he's done, from burning civilians alive, helping the CIA kill everyone and just generally going insane, I wondered if a man like him deserves anything remotely like a 'good' ending. Maybe he really does deserve to die.

I wondered the same thing, I gotta admit. I do love how the game uses Walker. With him being the PC you can't help but get attached to him, because from the start he seems like a decent guy. Then as you go on and when you get to the end and realize the whole source of misery is the guy you've grown to really like is so evil it's genius.
The funny thing is, by getting the 'good' ending for him and living and seemingly getting away with it, could also conversely be the biggest punishment of all for Walker, meaning that he has to live with that he did rather than taking the easy way out.
I love that this game inspires this kind of discussion.

I once read one of the interviews with the game's creators. In it one of the writers observed that in all games, players are essentially preconditioned to trust the player character no matter what. No matter what Goodguy McHero says or does he is always in the right, while the bad guys are bad guys and his commanding officer is a moron.
So what do you do when Goodguy McHero turns out to be a delusional liar and a psychotic?

A brilliant idea executed magnificently. The more I hear about this game, the more I love it.

Also, I heard that one of the possible interpretations is that Walker didn't survived the helicopter's crash in the prologue.

Hmm... I never thought of it like that!

I love the face man, it's like he's thinking "oh, crap, maybe that wasn't a good idea."

If you liked that, you should try Far Cry 3. It is really good.

I have heard great things about it. I'll have to pick it up

I want to play this game so badly. Everything I've read says that it's amazing. Glad to hear it lives up to that.

Oh, you should. IT is such an epic game. There are, however, a few issues with the controls/a glitch or two, but the story's so good, I didn't mind whatsoever.

Ooh, if I didn't have finals this week...Well I shall certainly pick this up and give it a whirl once school's out! A glitch or two isn't enough to scare me off, after all what game doesn't have a few?

Haha, that's the spirit. They're not game-breaking, so it's all good. ;D

I really like the way you did this. The sketches are nice of his face creating the shock, but the pyre of a background gives it a real sense of danger. The drop filter is a nice touch also. Mahvelous dahling.

Excellent, thanks, brother! I was worrying about the background to the point where I just decided to leave it be or it'd never be finished.
Thank yew, mah dearie.

Walker did not enjoy his trip to Dubai, nope, not one bit.

Can you imagine his family?
"Did you get us any gifts?" *Thousand-yard stare* "... OK, then."

But I heard he felt like a hero...or maybe that could've been the wind of the WP.
