"The worst she might do is attempt to couple with your head- fruitlessly!"

Got a drawing tablet last Christmas, thought I'd get practice sketching our favorite cranio-conjugal parasite! 

Headcrab anatomy is very fascinating! I hadn't really been able to sketch a good headcrab from memory before this, so doing these studies has definitely helped! Lots of fun, unique shapes make up these little fellas!

It makes me giddy noticing small details about them that really show just how much attention to detail Valve pours into these titles. Hope you enjoy the sketches! I'll be working hard to provide more Xenians in the future!

Recently I'd been toying with the idea of ranking every major alien/post-human in Half-Life! 
They're not ranked within the tiers, but I took into account looks, lore, sound design, and my own little headcanons for this list! 
Have you guys done anything similar and how does my ranking compare to your own?

Opinions on the “pre-release” characters of Half-Life 2 I’ve been working on a personal rendition of Half-Life 2 that takes elements from both retail and older eras of Half-Life 2’s development and wanted to get feedback on how you would personally like to see some of the characters from earlier eras portrayed. Here I’d like to specifically ask about Eli Maxwell and Captain Vance, as I’ve taken a unique approach to adapting their characters compared to how they are in the “source” material. Instead of having Eli completely absorbing Captain Vance’s character, I’ve instead separated the “Vance” from the Captain, so as of now they are Eli Vance and Captain Maxwell. In my retelling, I want to keep the father/daughter relationships and story aspects that Alyx and Eli have in retail, but still keep Captain Vance’s storyline and The Conscripts. I’m still currently working on how to adapt Captain Maxwell further to be a more compelling character now that Alyx has been separated from him, b…

More dinosaurs with Xenian patterns! I thought Sinosauropteryx having the snark pattern was very fitting. (also Sinosnark has a nice ring to it lol)

A friend of mine makes these tiny dinosaur models so I wanted to make some Xenian inspired patterns for them! And so, here's Tyrannosaurus with a tentacle inspired pattern and an Edmontosaurus with a red bullsquid pattern.

They were done pretty quickly and primarily with a mouse, I hope you enjoy them despite their amateur-ness!
