Description Ehhhh, I'm not exactly the neatest colorer, am I? (It didn't help that I constantly had to remind myself: "this isn't for your Exile Vilify video-- so don't make it sketchy!!!")

Well...at least I'm getting better at coloring things quickly? *bricked*

So. After I (belatedly) discovered what GLaDOS' design resembles when flipped upside down (a woman bound and gagged), inspiration struck. I know that her chassis looks a bit different when Wheatley is on it, but still. Artistic license.

Err... explanation? GLaDOS is welcoming and tolerant to her fate-- this is what she's built for, this is who she is. Hence her grin and dominating/controlling pose. Wheatley on the other hand, isn't. He's a nice guy, GLaDOS' circuitry and such-- they clash with his personality, and he can't resist or control 'the itch.' So his pose is one of helplessness and submission-- he was quickly corrupted by the power and GLaDOS' circuitry. *slips into corner and hides*

Since I don't really have one in particular, I sort of made the human!GLaDOS design up as I went along. XD (And sorry for her fail!anatomy/posing... I (unsurprisingly) had no reference for such a pose. XD)

I am super behind on looking through my deviations (I have like, 459 to go through LOL), so I am only just now seeing this, but

ak;js;lksdjf;lsdfjs;jkds this is aaaaaweeeesome c:
I've always wanted to draw GLaDOS in that weird upside-down-y-connected to the cords and whatever pose, but I feel like I won't do it justice XD that's why I normally don't draw fan art.

Oh wow, that's pretty... intense. Good luck with that!

Thank you! Now I look at this picture with mild disgust at how bad my art style was back then, but I'm still quite proud of the concept and coloring.

I didn't do that pose justice at all, so that is a very legitimate concern. XD

lol I know. I'm slowly getting through it XD very slowly.

IT'S NOT BAD. Shush.

I'm always all, I WANNA DRAW FMA FAN ART! I WANNA DRAW DOCTOR WHO FAN ART! I WANNA DRAW PORTAL FAN ART (which I have, kind of done, without feeling poopay about it). But then I think about it more and then I'm all, MY ART SKILLZ (or lack thereof) AREN'T SATISFACTORY.

NOOOO DON'T THINK THAT WAY MY DEAR. Seriously! You're so much better than you think you are and getting better all the time. I'd love to see some FMA/DW/Portal art from you. <3 The only way you'll get better is by doing it.

This is very nice! Very symbolic and artistic! You did a great job figuring out how the characters should look and figuring out the symbolism. Good work!
Sort of wish there was more stuff like this.

That's one ting I hoped to convey... D: Oh, I absolutely adore that song. One of my absolute favorites. <3 Glad to hear that I'm not the only one associating it with Wheatley.

Mm~hm. The song is one of those things that make us worry about poor little Wheatley, whom cannot fight his corruption nor 'the itch.'
