Description Characters; Top middle is Wheatley, left is GLaDOS, centre is Chell, then turrets on either side, and at the bottom is an edgeless safety cube.

I could go on for ages saying how great Portal 2 is, but you just have to play the game to understand.

Made with Gimp and bamboo fun tablet, drawn at 4800x7200pixels, C&C welcome thanks!

I drew the portal gun smaller so it looked like it was made for action and doesn't look like you have to drag it around all over the place.

Haha I had a few early problems with the forehead but at the time I was to buy concentrating on the length of her neck (which is still quite long) and making her look like a woman instead of an ugly man haha...

Aaaaaa! space cops

Thanks for the awesome feedback mate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good point, though an opposite piece featuring an oversized gun would be fun just for the... Fun of it

Ha ha, yes at times it's hard to get humans right, as we relate so much and know so well how a human face look and is placed on a body, our brains will automatically tell us if something looks less less human than normal.

IN SPACE, ALWAYS, CAPTURING SPACE CRIMINNALS.... IN SPACEE... YEAH!

Wouldn't awesome art require awesome feedback?

The BBCPG.. Big Bad Centum Portal Gun!
The walls never saw it coming

But you already are awesome!
You only need to unleash it fully, as in increased productivity (though that is hard when there are other things to do)!

lol, I know what you mean with not having enough good things to say about Portal 2, god I love that game x3 And I can't help but feel a kinship to anyone else who's played it too xD; I'm such a geek. Anyway, love this! Nice comp, and I'd love to see it in fullcolor, especially with the colors in Wheatley, GLaDOS, and the turrets "eyes". You might up the contrast just alittle to get a richer black. very nice work, I could even see this as an in-game promotion poster in the labs or something xD lol

Jagged88 In reply to ExiledChaos [2011-05-12 05:08:47 +0000 UTC]

Thank you, can't wait for the DLC for the game.

I did think about putting it into colour a few times, I even had the idea about just the lights having colours but I couldn't get it to work good enough and it messed up the whole picture.

I'll try again by putting richer blacks into it, I only kept it more grey because I wanted it to look like a washed out poster sorta thing.

Thanks for the great comment and feedback!

Ohh x3 me too! Just beat co-op with my boyfriend and it leaves so many open questions x3 I'd love to see where they take it.

No problem Maybe if you also wanted a washed out, weathered look, you could try out overlaying a texture on top it... like coffee/water stains or something? Or a slight sepia coloring to show the "yellowing" of the paper x3

Good luck! And awesome illustration

Fucking badass. Looks like the cover art for a progressive rock album or a black and white movie that could give Metropolis a run for it's money.

Jagged88 In reply to LunaShadow [2011-05-12 05:19:52 +0000 UTC]

15+ hours over the course of 4-5 days.

It only took so long because I was adding allot of detail that people can't even see at this size.

Thanks

LunaShadow In reply to Jagged88 [2011-05-12 08:03:28 +0000 UTC]

Wow, impressive!

Do you plan on making it a print, is that why all the detail?

You're very welcome!

Jagged88 In reply to LunaShadow [2011-05-14 05:52:34 +0000 UTC]

I was thinking of having a few of my things printed off to check that my monitor is properly collaborated.

As for all the details, I really can't help myself drawing them all, thanks again

This should be the Portal 2 Special Edition game cover. I mean, every game comes out with a special edition, right? This is really well done! Oh yeah, I have a question about the Bamboo tablet, as I will be getting a tablet soon and I don't know what to pick ;v;

Well I use a Wacom bamboo medium fun tablet, and I've been using it for quite some time now and there easy to use aswell. There also quite expensive to some other makes and models, but like most things you get what you pay for.
