I went through so many different stages of stylizing the characters but I'm very happy with how I draw them now. Older concepts in the collage. I just thought the old ones were a little bland and boring especially while drawing them. They didnt look "fun" so i decided to just focus on shapes rather than try to follow a reference. 
G-man one was a request c:  

I like Gordon being squares and rectangles. Tall and lanky but still with enough big shapes to give some strength. I did start with giving Gordon's suit normal sized arms but thought it looked a bit boring so BIG SUIT ARMS HELL YA 
Barney tho I just think I want him to have shorter sharper shapes so traingles are really nice and makes understanding drawing his helmet way easier for me while emphasizing other features like cheekbones and jaw and I like the way it makes him look more abstract

The contrast between the shapes makes for a goofy yet nice dynamic when drawing them together c:

And then there were 25K of you!

Thank you all so much for subscribing to the channel over the years! It's really funny how we reached this milestone around the time Half-Life turned 25 as well. I think it's just a magic number or something! 

I've been doing YouTube for over 13 years now but I never had an audience quite like this one. It feels really great to finally put out content and know that people will actually watch it and appreciate it. I didn't used to have that luxury back in the day, you know! So from the bottom of my heart and the rest of the LambdaGeneration team, thank you so much! 

Here's to the next 25K subscribers! 💜

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

'From the voice of my groaning my bone has cleaved to my flesh. 
For my soul is filled with evil, and like this place must be purged. 
For the dead know no sleep in their graves, nor dost thou remember them, until they are destroyed through thy hands.'

DELIVER US FROM EVIL 'From the voice of my groaning my bone has cleaved to my flesh. For my soul is filled with evil, and like this place must be purged. For the dead know no sleep in their graves, nor dost thou remember them, until they are destroyed through thy hands.'
