Description If I could just be more human
I would see every little thing with a gleam in my eye
If only I was more human
I'd embrace every single feeling that came in my life
Would I care and be forgiving?
Would I be sentimental and would I feel loneliness?
Would I doubt and have misgivings?
Would I cause someone sorrow too? Would I know what to do?

Seriously this song makes me think of Wheatley every single time ;A;

Anywho, this is sort of like a preview to a project I'm thinking of working on...along with being scenery practice for me ^___^;

If you look really closely, this IS Portal 2 fanart. I'm honestly really proud of this piece though. If I wanted it to, it could stand on its own. I think I'm getting better at drawing with a tablet..although if my actual painting skills are anything to go by, nowhere near ready to do all the complicated buildings and shit that the amazing artists of DA do. AND I learned new things about Sai while working on this!

Right, I should probably get back to my Typography project now (speaking of which, hopefully I'll be adding some of that to here in a bit)

Portal belongs to Valve
This art belongs to me
Also, I used these tutorials to learn how to draw some of the--okay, the majority of the picture. They can be found here:

(there was also a cloud tutorial but I cant seem to find it :/)

*EDIT*: Goddamn. 73 favorites? Thats like the most favorites I've ever gotten XD thank you everyone that has favorited this! I can't wait to continue the series...when I'm not completely friggin bogged down with work and school. (I know, I'm such an attention whore )

*EDITEDIT*: You guys are all ridiculously wonderful ;A; thank you so much for all of the compliments on both this piece and Pt. 2; 104 favorites is not something to laugh at in my book. Thank you all so much

Hello, I found this whilst browsing google for a cover to my Portal 2 extension on FanFiction.net. I don't want to use it without your permission, as it really stands out from the others. Please may I use it as a cover? I'll credit it to you. The story itself is a continuation of Portal 2 from the scene in your picture, as I couldn't possibly leave it where VALVe left it. Here's a link if you're interested - [link] .

Of course! As long as there's credit, I would be honored if you used this as your fanfic cover! (Also I'll definitely be reading the fic as soon as I get the time )

Thank you! I was definitely not expecting it to work out at all while I was making it. Mainly because it was just supposed to be practice for scenery since I'm just starting to get into it.

It took me a moment to notice the falling stars, and then I got really happy. And then I got really sad.

Excellent piece!

X3 She is. I didn't really think about it in depth at the time but I like that she's so small in this...mainly because it kinda shows how vulnerable she is as a human, compared to the fact that she's done all this amazing shit in the two games that we've seen her in...but maybe I'm over thinking her character ^__^;

BAHHH BUT ITS SO COMPLICATED XD;

I think I'm getting more and more used to it. Holy fuck I'll be so flipping happy when I can recreate that one scenery piece I did for Art last year. You remember, the one with the eroded buildings and shit?
