I'm not that big a fan of the Gordon/Alyx ship (last he saw her, she'd have been four), but holy shit this art is amazing. Still giving you a like and comment for pure skill.

Wow! That's an accomplishment for me: getting praise from someone who is basically uninterested in or against the main theme of the art. Thank you so much! :)

Talent like this deserves respect, even if it's utilization is kinda shit

I feel pretty much the same. I don't like the ship but this art goes hard as fuck.

(CriticalSass here, I also run this account) Also, are you interested in joining a modding team? Our last artist vanished off the face of the Earth so we need a new one for project (classified).

It's a tempting idea, thanks more, but I have to decline. My desire to draw is too inconstant, and so is my health. I just can't.

nice piece, but forgive me for the weird question. how long a piece like that takes for you? I remember you being proficient at this, so I am curious.

Thank you very much. This little comic took me half a day, about 7-8 hours. From 12am to 9:30pm. In parallel, I was distracted by chatting on Tumblr with a cool artist, so you can safely take at least an hour off. Plus a coffee and dinner break.

Much appreciated for the answer, although I could say I am a beginner (still getting grasp on the basic fundamentals) the thing I struggle the most right now is unironically fundamentals. Even if the piece looking acceptable by the audience I still find it lacking in something, so let me ask you, what is that you struggled the most and still struggling sometimes? If you don't mind answering that too of course.

Basically, what I set out to do, I did. I mean, that's the original idea. There were no difficulties, except that I was banally distracted. Maybe it's just not my most successful work, but the experience just can't be positive always. Thanks for your interest! I hope I've answered your question.

Good grief... I've never even *thought* of shipping Gordon and Alyx, but this.. This is freaking beautiful! Keep up the good work, my friend!

i've prob said this before, i don't ship it but i'll never get over how perfectly these panels fit together and the composition is CHEF'S KISS. tbh if someone said you were an official comic artist for half-life, i wouldn't question it.

When I get compliments like that, I'm very flattered. It's one of the best compliments, really. Thank you so much. But.... We all know Valve will never see this :D or pay attention.

hey, never say never. a fan artist once made their own design for what they thought the tf2 announcer would look like, valve saw this, made their design official and hired them as an official tf2 comic artist (if i recall correctly)

I feel like you did both characters so much justice. Alyx is by far much more of what I feel she should look like; so much prettier.
