Description I’ve been watching some gameplay of Portal 2 and was astonished by how clever the game is. Watching those and all the designs in the game has inspired me to try drawing the robots, and along came this idea of applying those designs onto my character, Paradoxia.

The designs were mainly taken from Atlas’ and P-Body’s (The Co-op droids) structure, with the complicated-looking arms and legs joints. The usual crab-like right hand of her was replaced by a Portal gun, of course. Her leg is designed to look similar to the long fall boots Chell (the protagonist) wears. The only part that really doesn’t get much redesign is her head. I first intended to have an Aperture Laboratory logo somewhere on her, but, since the good ‘ol Paradoxia doesn’t like to be branded by anyone, I scrapped that idea.

I first sketched it out very messily and planned to just give it a sketchy coloring, but turned out I had a lot of fun, and the result here is quite very nice within nice working time, I guess --an hour and a half.

This is just an alternate and non-canon design for Paradoxia, so I’m not jointing her storyline to the game, of course, but I really like this design, so we might be seeing more of this look on her in the future. She looks good in white, don’t you think?

I’ve never actually played Portal or any of the Half-Life titles, but I think I should look for Portal 2.^^

Thanks!
I'm actually listening to GLaDOS' voice right about now, imagining at the same time... kinda creepy. XP I'd say Para has a more fluent accent, but does sound computer-generated, as well.

I think indeed I should. I was amazed by every aspects of the game just watching the gameplay and story.

Thanks a lot! I had a lot of fun applying those designs onto her.

Did you watched all the videos of the story ? Or you are leaving some beihind ? (I recommend you to play the game rather than watching the whole story. I did that, and man, I was amazed as well)
Not only that, but the co-op mode has got to be best thing in the game, the problem though is that they added some "in-game store" thing, but heck, you can get the items for free in the game. so its like a side thing

No problem

I watched a lot of the videos, unfortunately. I couldn't stop myself following up on the story, but yes, I did leave some behind. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have fun playing it if I get to play it, that is.
I didn't watch any gameplay of the co-op mode, but sounds like a lot of fun, as well!^^

You didn't spoil yourself to the end right ? .w. (in other words, DO NOT WATCH THE END PLEASE D: Leave the surprise :3)

The coop mode is worth it, even though I am more of "mess around" rather than "complete the mission" xd;

I got around to play it and got to the end. Man, that really was a very surprising surprise! (Like all the very clever elements in the game, that is. )

To say the least, I just love the intro, name of the last chapter and the achievement related to it It kept reminding me of the situation I was in the game (trying too hard to not spoil anything if anyone else is reading XD) [link]

XD The developers were very clever with the way they presented that last chapter, it had me laughing quite well. I love Wheatley's voice and dialogue, as well. Especially the long dialogue he'll say if you return to that part after escaping, hillarious!

It's even more hilarious when you actually jump (I did that, and I laughed when I heard in the background "Oh wow ! I didn't know that was going to work..." )

Yep. (The "Pit Boss" achievement is also there. ) He also said it at the conveyor belt to the masher. I followed his advice every time.
