30 Days of Half-Life

Over the course of October, I’ll be drawing my way through the plot of Half-Life.

The story of course follows Gordon Freeman, a lowly logistics engineer (he literally just has to push around a trolley) who finds himself in the midst of an alien apocalypse after two irresponsible scientists fail to abort an incredibly reckless experiment despite some obvious warning signs.

When the original Half-Life came out it changed gaming forever. Despite the fact that Black Mesa is seemingly run by Darwin Award nominees, few games have immersed players so completely into their world & story.

The idea of the challenge is to pay tribute to this absolute gaming gem – and also to force myself to draw something every day.

P.S. As always, there’s an easter egg somewhere in there…
