Art for Echidnite!

[yuletart-mods.livejournal.com]

Title: 'Better than Mama!'
Gift for: echidnite
Artist: unithien_rerith
Rating: G
Fandom: Half Life/Half Life 2 (etc)
Characters: Gordon Freeman
Artist notes: In the prompt, Echidnite said that she really enjoyed makani's version of nerdy Gordon. I have to say that I do too. Makani was one of my early artistic influences, and I was happy to do a piece inspired by her fantastic fanart with my own flair.
Summary: After a hard day of killing zombies and defeating evil, Gordon decides that it's time for some R&R. And maybe also time to learn to cook (?)

Man, I really love the colors you chose for this! The lighting's nice and dramatic, too, haha. It's all beautiful :>

This is really cool. I like the expression on his face, but I love the coloring!

lovely colors! :D I like it :)

Yay! I love the expression and the colors and dramatic lighting are absolutely super!

HAH! That's hilarious. I love your colouring technique on this, all blocky like that. I like the texture you've used on this as well, gives it a marker-y look that I adore.

HAHAHA he's playing Cooking Mama! That's amazing! I'm not familiar with this fandom really, but this is great--I'm really impressed by your use of color and lighting. Great work!

...I kind of wish my DS were that color now! I love the idea of Gordon playing Cooking Mama, and the entire pic just looks great (HIS EYEBROW LOL) ♥

Eee! I love it, thanks so much!! :D The colouring is really cool, the blockiness is so video game and it works so right on the HEV suit. And Gordon needs some intense focus to be better than Mama! So awesome!

Ooh, I like the blocky colouring. I'm not sure how that works so well, but it really does! Great work.

The colors here are just !!!

This is soooo cool. I love the angular color blocks, and the gorgeous colors, and the lighting angle and shade. And I love his thinky expression, and the tongue sticking out there. :D Also, his hair is awesome.

the colors on this make me squeeee.
This is brilliant and wonderful and I utterly love it!

All those color swatches are great.

aha, that's cute! Nice job on the very concentrated expression. The colors are really nifty, too.

LOOOOOOVE THE COLOURING OF THIS SO MUCH. It is so shifting and transitional and very video game concept art in the style. Your lighting is fabulous and unconventional and I think that's why it looks so great with your colour choices and his costuming and just. Fantastic!

No clue on fandom, but the wacky feel of this is just a blast. From the coloring, to his intent expression, to the DS and game he's playing, hee. Too fun. ;D

This is so utterly cool! I love the piecey look of the colours and the sci-fi techno lighting, and the expression on his face is priceless. Wonderful!
