surprisingly good turning-out i think, next i need to draw something more complicated so i get a better feel of how to do gear properly

one of my favourite Combine designs, it's so odd but i think of it as a predecessor to the HL:A Suppressor visually and think it could be way more solid if the eyes weren't bulging out like that lol

also teto is there. i would have made a new audio for this art but i'm not figuring out UTAU just to make an addition to this lolol

combine assassin from Half-Life 2's cut content (or Half-Life 2: Survivor's released content if you know enough of the world's secrets)

pretty fun warmup, i should get better at iridescence though because it's a cool effect

thinking a lot about more photography-inspired art lately, specifically low-light art looks really interesting to me for the more dreamlike unease it creates. made me think of a citizen going out in the wasteland at night (couldn't sleep or something) and coming across this thing that they have no frame of reference for (especially because the combine wouldn't want to inform citizens about the ways they keep the wastelands secure). it'd be pretty spooky
