Grudematheoretical Physicists, part 2

The border-world Xen has been sacked. The bulbous Nihilanth, once the hungry god-thing of that place, lies battered and broken. And a mere scientist -- the most reluctant of warriors, the unlikeliest of saviors -- has just accepted employment from an inscrutable interdimensional entity.

In other words, the first part of the Half-life Grudemath has concluded!

Just last night, in a marathon run that lasted the better part of the evening, Sarksus and Squiz battled through the rest of the original Half-life. There was a brief intermission about an hour in, during which time I whipped up this sketch of the hapless Sarksus and his grenade mishaps.



But the actual finale of the game required something a little more momentous, so I grabbed a reference and whipped up this speedpaint.



The next installment will kick off the race through Opposing Force. Which means I'll be drawing a lot of Adrian Shephard, a man with no face.
