Description I tried to make Glados in vector on illustrator ^^'
It takes time and it's difficult but I think it was a good training
I know I still have a lot of things to improve so if you have any constructive comments, don't hesitate

All characters are from "Portal" game and I don't own them.

Hope you like it

Very impressive. I can imagine that took a while. The way you brought out the details and using the gradients is really amazing. I know how Illustrator works and that you can get really nice reflection-effects in it, but some of the details on GLaDOS look like they've needed alot of layers. Also, I want to point out that I love the little lights and nails you added on her backside. I guess, yes, they ARE there, but I still like how you pointed them out. Her head certainly looks best, maybe because that is the first part I look at tough. She looks like she's squinting up, trying to look at Chell there. If that is what you were going for, you fully succeeded.

I also love the idea of Chell sitting on her "back", so to say. The AI is pretty much helpless, isn't she? XD (as long as that one generator is offline....) She can't even look at her! That's hilarious! XD

Okay, nitpicking time >:3
Chell's head looks a bit ...weird. I am NOT an expert on drawing humans either, btw, not at all, but I think it might be... too round? Or to big? Also, I'd added a white background to the shield. This way, the cake sign is floating in the air. Which seems a bit weird. Unless it's a hollogramm, but it doesn't look like that either.
There's one cable, the orange one, that goes to the ceiling, on which the reflection didn't quite work. It looks 2-dimensional. It worked with the black ones, to not add highlights, but I think the orange one should have needed one.

But aside that: Really really nice job. Also the background looks really like it's right out of the game. Did you make that with gradients too?
Also I simply value that you tried making this in a programm that works alot different from usual pixel-based drawing programs, such as Photoshop. It may have been a good training and it certainly is interesting to see the result. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

For a moment, I thought that that was the GLaDOS model from the game. oAo Got chills when I realised it wasn't.

The shiny gradients on this are beautiful and Chell looks darling. ;w;b
