I feel as though i need to bring more elements of half life into my idea now and eventually into my final image as i have been mainly focusing and capturing Shirows style i need to start bringing them both together to start bringing together my final piece. as i said i want to do a cover page ( chapter page/ splash page ) that represents the quote and what's goin on within the game at that point. ( Quote - Dont shoot im with the science team, Scenario in game - Black Mesa research facility is being infiltrated by marines, due to the experiment failure/accident - being which they have opened a portal to another world and aliens have managed to come to their world/ black mesa, due to this the marines are shooting the aliens but the scientists also - being a government cover up.)

Even though Gordon Freeman is the main character in Half Life i don't want him to be the main focus for my piece as the quote chosen is based around the scientists and marines not him however including him in the final piece would make it noticeable straight away that it is to do with half life. im not really sure wether to put him in or not. to make the image noticeable that it is from half life rarther than using gordon freeman i think i would prefer to put more subtle things in like the black mesa logo maybe a head crab or two.

This is just a quick cut together image of an idea i had, having a portal behind my scientist, in which i want to put a head crab coming out of the portal. ( portals of course being from the other valve game Portal but i thought i could use it for half life theme as is it still relevant to that game)
