Description Can you tell I like Portal yet? You can't? Here, let me try a bit harder.

Jumped on the bandwagon of "humanized cores". Androids, actually. But anyway. Portal things. Yes. Good. Excellent.
I actually went through a couple of designs for Wheatley before I settled on one I liked and projected that design onto the other cores. You can see that he used to have a tie before I scraped that and moved the Aperture logo to his chest so you could clearly see the "third optic" on his front.
I didn't give that "third optic" to GLaDOS because one, it looked weird and two, since she's in control of the entire facility, she doesn't need it. Wheatley uses it as a light and as a communicator with devices he can't directly hook up to.

Moving on, there's a Space Core with a toy rocket ship and Wheatley on his tiny, slightly uncomfortable Official Management Rail Chair. And then climbing down from said tiny chair to fall on top of Chell.
The cord at the back of his neck is retractable but he doesn't like people watching him access systems and hack things, it makes him nervous and he can't do it (not that he does it right half the time anyway). 'Course, Chell's just trying to figure out where it collapses into because what the heck.
Um, Wheatley was dirty so Chell cleaned him off? I dunno.And then they went into sleep mode together and it was adorable. Until Wheatley got crushed by GLaDOS and had to get himself put back together again.

I like the idea that when Wheatley took over the facility, the whites of his eyes became black like GLaDOS' because it just makes him look all the more corrupted and, I dunno, evil.
Also, GLaDOS had way more connector ports so when Wheatley got plugged in, there were multiple wires shoved into one port. I imagine this was very painful and highly uncomfortable. And also slightly system damaging. The main facility chair is collapsible, by the way. So you can look evil lounging about and standing up without a daft, massive chair behind you.

….there are probably too many triangles in those logos.

Oh gosh, did I mention how awesome you are yet?

Okay, basically this isreally, really cool, mainly because everyone's got a different viewpoint on humanized!cores and tis one kind of ties them all togher somehow. Wheately's the perfect amount of scruffy and his chair is pretty awesome, and you were always amazing with posing but these really take the cake because it shows the chairs and the slouching and UNF okay sorry.

I love the thing with the eyes, really really do, especially if you think about him eing plugged in t first they were white and then midway through evil laughter WHOOPSLOLBLACKEYES. Only thing bugging me is the fact the tie isn't always there because hot damn that tie is pretty awesome.

Space core looks so childish and adorable and I love the goggles madly. I want them. ANd while GLaDOS's design is not my favorite (I think I just don't like the nose or something, noses are unattractive) you are always on the right track.

Alright, fangirling done.

<3

ohgosh what if you drew a picture of Wheatley being torn out of the chassis oh gosh oh dear okay done sorry

AWWWW! THANK YOU FOR THE TEXT WALL~!

Oh, I liked the tie at first but for practical reasons it had to go. Plus, I had the image of Wheatley in his Official Management Rail Chair somehow getting his tie stuck on the rail and no one can figure out how he managed to do this.
I hate noses. I keep trying to draw different kinds of noses so they don't all look the same.

Ahhhhh, now I wanna DRAW THAT!

I keep giving EVERYONE text walls it's horrible horrible horrible

Wheately would get his tie stuck. And it doesn't strangle him because he's just unkillable, no wonder GLaDOS is annoyed.

Noses are evil, Especially at different angles.

ohgodohgodohgodpleasedo

NO IT'S NOT IT'S FANTASTIC NEVER STOP

That's just the point!
He'd get stuck and be screaming for help for two days straight, then he'd be whining for a week, and then there's nothing for another week and, just when GLaDOS thinks he's done, he bursts out screaming again because he's still stuck!

Ahhhhh, I will (if I find the time)!
