Description
Again, at the request of friends. I've never played the Half-Life series, though it's been on my list for a while, now... I'm thinking I should fix it, soon.Well, thanks to the wonderful Wikipedia , I got an idea of the plot, as well as some info on the monsters.
After perusing the monsters, I elected to draw that Ichthyosaur/Ichthycanthus-thing. Just because, I mean.... man, is it uuuugly. And as fate would have it, all the references I found seemed to contradict each other in some fashion... which was odd. So I kinda made some stuff up as I went. I'll blame most differences on the fact that the thing's mouth is actually semi-closed, as opposed to hanging open like a barn door. And I tilted the tail fin-thing, 'cause that was one feature the references couldn't agree on. So now it's angled. ^_^
And look! I drew a person! ...ok, so it's only Freeman's legs. From underwater. But I think there's hope for me yet as far as peoples.
Half-Life (c) Valve Corporation

I have played Half-Life 2! And.... My god! WHY DID I NOT PLAY THIS GAME SOONER??! It was awesome! I am currently playing through HL-1, HL-Blue Shift, and HL- Opposing Forces. ....Yeah, I got turned into an HL fan about 2 minutes into the second game. >.>

Apparently it only shows up once in Half-Life 2 and in a cut-scene at that. But yeah, looking at how biologicaly implausible this dude is, I'd bet just about anything that he moves really creepy-like. So yes, keep those toes well hidden, methinks.
And y'know what? I think I agree with you on the cute part... as odd as it may be. He certainly wasn't cute when I started... I mean, this is not cute. At least, I don't think so. And the in-game pictures I found of it made it even uglier.
....really makes me want to play the game now, though....

Believe it or not this guy moves extremely quick. When he attacks he turns to the side to get a better bite at you, as he does this he is making a bit of a roaring sound. Hehe... sorry, im a bit of a nerd.

Ooh, I can believe that fairly easily. If he was a slow, lumbering, dentally-challenged thingy, he wouldn't be nearly as scary as if he was a quick-despite-being-big-and-making-no-biological-sense thingy. Especially with those arms. How does it swim with those? It shouldn't be able to. Ah well, I still need to play that game.
(And nerd away- I don't mind in the least, being a nerd myself. )

He doesnt use his arms to swim. His tail moves back and forth quickly, almost like a tadpole or snake. i think those arms were meant to add to the odd factor. and it does make sense in a way, look at what we found at the bottom of the ocean.

_O: It is quite ugly, isn't it?
I'd hate to bump into one of these in the pool...
Lovely work on the detail, love the water

My question is: "......how does it swim?" o.-.O
Thanks- In truth, I was actually despairing over the water for a bit- at least the surface bit. Then I looked at it after mucking about for a while and went, "...hey.... when did that happen?"
