I have a hard time believing that anyone at valve thought about anything other than what was necessary. I think fans always pull more out of the art than what was intended, so it’s normal, and you’re fine!

yeah I try to tell myself that, but at the same time

And you never know if Valve may revisit her character later on, just like Doug Rattman who had very little presence in the first game but was given a special story before the second one. Plus considering her connection to GLaDOS, she’s pretty much a main character technically, even if she doesn’t know who she used to be. So it’s likely we could be seeing her again and given some better back-history, and who knows if they have concept art hidden away that might have a few clues to her true identity and role in Aperture besides what we know already. Only thing to worry about is if the fan-canon fits their canon or not. I really hope they don’t go the way of ‘Bubble-ditz-Caroline’, that would make me so upset.  >:[

Of course Japan has robots that smell your breath.

Breathe into the female robot’s face, and if your breath is okay, she’ll say. “A somewhat tart, good smell—no problem.” If it’s not so good, she says things like, “Your breath is kind of stinky” or “This is bad; Unbearable”.

Proving once and for all that Wheatley may have been right.

Smelly humans indeed.

Caroline Appreciation Day

fuchsiamae:

Secretary’s Day is coming up on April 24th, and I think it’s a great opportunity to celebrate the Portal fandom’s favorite assistant, Caroline. Post your fic, art, meta, headcanons, or just general appreciation posts, and make sure to tag them as #caroline appreciation day so everyone can find them. Let’s give the backbone of Aperture some love!

Coming up THIS WEDNESDAY gang!

As promised, here are the main brushes I use in Sai. I got three different styles, the first one is pretty new but also really fun to work with. I use the Ink Pen on Stabilizer: 12 and Smooth paint on 100 Density.

I use Pencil for everything, almost everything I create is done in pencil first especially for paintings much like I do in a RL sketchbook (I’m a traditionalist at heart). I don’t use any Stabilizer here except for Crayon which is set to 7.

In my paintings I use Smooth paint on 40% Density/10% Stabilized to color block the basic shapes, then 70% Density for line work, I layer color light-dark on 20%Density until I get the right skin tones/glow ala Egg Tempera technique. I use Oil paint to do the hair Dark-light on %40 Density/ No stabilization and then Speckle on 10% Density/ No stabilization for skin texture for any moles/freckles/pores.

And that’s the method to my madness folks. :D Hope this helps anyone out there.
