really wanna make a comic thing about tmasmac sebastian and his transness and how he was probably exploited/forced to suffer silently in a cruel system meant to prevent him from ever succeeding which led him to be where and how he is. but idk if i will ever like Finish it so might just throw sketches out there and see if i get motivation to color

PORTAL 1 GLaDOS MODEL STUDY AND REFERENCES

(Below cut VvV)

--- --- ---

Decided to boot up Garry's mod once again, but I wanted to play around with Portal 1's GLaDOS animations and realised that she doesn't get much love with this design. I know it's TECHNICALLY been retconned out at this point, but I still find this older interpretation of our favourite killer robot lady quite interesting. This version of GLaDOS holds more of that "upside-down woman" vibe that is seen in a few pieces of Portal 1 concept art more than Portal 2 does. I guess you can interpret that however you want, but something something she sheds more of her more "humanoid" façade now that she's completely free from the scientist's control.

(source)

Fun fact: They were going to lean into the "humanoid" details of GLaDOS as in old Portal 2 beta test animations, she's emotes a lot more with her body and the "arms" on the sides of her body. She's straight up sassing it. Serving as some may say. But it confirms that GLaDOS in this design is supposed to be a humanoid figure bending backwards(or upwards due to the angle she's held at) and being connected to the ceiling by the legs.

(source)

I haven't really drawn Portal 1 GLaDOS myself aside from a couple headshots when I'm bored, but being able to put her design into the restraints of a somewhat human body has made me a little more confident with learning.

A few extra notes before I close this up.

Portal 1's body is rigid and stiff. I suspect it to be due to the two supports that link the upper and lower body together. The arms also stabilises the two.

A lot of the tech details are pretty nonsensical compared to her Portal 2 appearance. I don't hold it against the devs though, as it was (most of the team's) first giant mainstream videogame.

Portal 1 has a completely different art style compared to Portal 2 as well. Can be summed up to sleek, white plastic shelling and very circular geometry. Again, a product of 2007 graphics.

Anyways, Hope you liked this little analysis. I'm off to bed 👍

Moshangtian with Tianlang-Jun busting into his beloved writers office with notes and ideas for Shang Qinghuas novels, but Shang Qinghua stops him right there because he already has an editor which sparks Tianlang-Jun's interests. Who is it? Whose reading such scandalous works and providing such top tier feedback that THE Shang Qinghua refuses to hire someone as enthusiastic as him.

Shen Qingqiu in the bamboo house for some reason feels a sense of dread...
