Description
FINISHED VERSION HERE: [link]I was playing Half-Life 2 and couldn't help but draw a Combine soldier... The Combine are surely one of the most impressive alien forces ever conceptualized - their design is flawless; powerful and militaristic, and the way they were introduced as a force in HL2 is a testament to Valve's creative talent.
Corel Painter IX and Photoshop CS2.

I'm not familiar with the series but by the look of your rendition, they were nothing to fool around with, would you know if the game is still available and on what consoles?

Yeah, the Combine are pretty rad. One of the things I like especially about them is that practically no Combine (save for those damned Advisors.) are alien, not even the Striders, they used to be human.

No the Striders and all those flying units are aliens modified to do combat, the overwatch are humans modified with bionics, the advisors are the combine leaders.

If giving the chance, I would be a Civil Protection Officer in a heartbeat.

That looks ace man, the only thing I would point out is that the arm supporting the front of the rifle seems a tad long. Other than that its's perfect. I love the style man.
