ive finally started half life 2 but honestly this was inspired by gorgeous freeman

"Heavenly Sword blahblahblah..."

anyways here’s rating various gordon freeman models smiles. powerpoint by me.

“romka” or male_04 Gordon Freeman. he was a headhack of a reskinned male_04 head and romka’s HEV suit, circa 2009-2010. fan-made. there are 3 examples here, though they all use the same base model (minus cartoony, technically, though he didnt even want to open his mouth. may not even be able to.) rating: 4/10 beta male smile

Gordon Freeman by DPFilms. gritty gordon freeman who looks 40, model dated circa 2012. fan-made. (this might be wrong but gorgeous freeman may be a reskin of this model.) i already don’t like him, he looks like sandpaper. rating: 1/10 can’t even open his mouth

Gordon Freeman Redux by Lenoax, aka grimace Gordon, circa 2018. fan-made. frat bro gordon. he’s decently hi res, and also decently orange. rating: 2/10 he is fucked up. he’s struggling.

Enhanced Survivor Gordon Freeman, a Gordon Freeman model from Half-Life 2: Survivor, a Japan-only arcade version of Half-Life 2. i have no idea how they even got a hold of this but it’s real, circa 2013. Technically official (and was the most official model and preferred by majority for a long time). rating: 5.5/10 his little chihuahua smile is endearing but still a little fucked up

Half Life: Alyx Gordon, aka the most official (and detailed) Gordon Freeman model yet, 2020. Official.  the source 1 faceposer didn’t agree with the source 2 facial flexes, so i had to make do. I tried to use the least amount of facial flexes while trying to stay true to the default grin setting parameters. rating: 6/10 looks human but still very “grin and bear it”. suffering post-graduate with nothing to live for (accurate to his character?)

MATTER NEVER GOES AWAY! IT JUST CHANGES SHAPE!

THAT ISN'T TRUE! IT'S MORE OF AN ALLEGORY.

SO LET'S NOT TALK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE BUT
