2DForever(Proper title: "Chell [Redacted] - Test Subject #1498)
Who’s played Portal 2 yet? Pretty much everyone?
It’s pretty damn good.
One of my favourite moments in Portal 1 was when you realised (looking through your own portals) that you are playing as this girl, Chell (pronounced like ‘bell’, not ‘shell’ apparently).
Normally if you play a female lead, games aren’t very subtle about it – but with Portal you could of gone the whole game without knowing that and it’ll make no difference. And in her strange silent ways I think that’s what makes her such a great character – she could be anything.
I’ve recently been obsessing over the detail put into Portal 1 and 2, especially with Valve’s ‘Alternate Reality Games‘ they added to bridge the first and second game. This naturally led to a Portal themed picture. There’s been quite a bit of fanart already, so I thought I’d focus more on Chell herself essentially being a prisoner of Aperture Science. She’s just a little beaten up after some testing.
Bonus: I also did a variant with Source Engine style eyes…

Really late on this comment, so sorry, but I'm pretty sure (not completely sure, so sorry if I'm wrong) that's it's not "Bell" or "Shell" but the actual sound ch, then ell, as in pronounced t-chell, almost. I still love the art though. And I'm later than you, I'm playing this game like 10 years after it came out.

Yeah I didn't explain it very well. It's more like Chell from Chello, not Shell. That's a much better way of putting it actually...
Anyway, thanks for the kind words, I'm glad you liked it! And that you enjoyed Portal 2. I played through it again not so long ago, it's still really fun.

Your welcome! I enjoy the Portal games, even though they are not the newest. After all, Pacman's pretty old, and it's a pretty good game.

This does invite the question of what would happen to Chell outside the facility. Would they allow her a normal life, or stick her in a normal prison? And why would they do either?

Assuming that Portal 2 takes place sometime around Half-Life 2, be more likely she'd be captured by or on the run from the Combine.

All I know of Half Life mythos comes from watching Freeman's Mind on YouTube, and the spinoffs.

REJECTED, do not test
Test subject is abnormally stubborn.
I like this idea because GlaDOS doesn't appear to use QR code

she looks like a female prison inmate in this pic, is this some kinda romanticism for female prison inmates by valve?

Well she does wear an orange jumpsuit

Interesting! My thinking behind it was a lot more simple though I'm afraid. In Portal she's essentially a prisoner to the testing, so I wanted to get that here, should they have their details on record

Yeah my description isn't very clear. I mean it as in it doesn't have a "shh" noise, it's shorter like the "b" in bell. A better description would be it's like "chell" from "Chello"
