Description
I freakin' love Portal. I really want to play Portal 2, but I haven't been able to yet. First I couldn't afford it, then I couldn't find it, and now I'm hoping to get it for my birthday. Anyway, in the meantime, I've re-played through the first one several times. I've gotten to the point where I can speed run it in practically no time.So, naturally, I had to do a little bit of fan art. Got to work on my background skills a little bit, too, which has always been one of my weak points. All and all, I have to say that this is a triumph.

That's pretty awesome. I love the composition-- it's hard to figure out artwork with portals that doesn't look...disjointed, and this has a great flow. I love how she's coming out of the floor.

Thanks! I went through a few different versions when I was still in the thumbnail stage and I still ended up tweaking it a bit when I was coloring. Mostly just went with what I thought looked good, but I was also about half aware of trying to put in a few diagonal lines to help direct the eye. (Chell's head is aimed at the turret, the turret is aimed at the leg, the leg is pointing back at Chell, ect.) And I totally know what you mean about some portal drawings looking off. I see a lot of cheats which bugs me a little, so I really tried to stay true to how they worked in the game.

You're welcome! Keeping diagonal lines in mind is a really good tip, thanks.

Based on testchamber 16, I presume? I almost felt bad killing the turrets. Amazing picture.
Also, the price of Portal 2 has dropped pretty considerably since it first came out: a bunch of places have it for $30 or something similar now. I myself got it from my bf for my birthday Hopefully someone nice gets it for you.

Thanks! I really didn't base it on any specific chamber, though that is one of my favorites, so I may have subconsciously put it in there. I was just throwing in all the stuff I liked, so I HAD to put in the turrets. I love those little guys.
