Description
A digital sketch I made in 1 hour and 40 minutes. I’m surprised how this turned out considering it’s the first digital sketch I’ve ever done of a real person,... and Wheatley.
I suppose most people who’s a fan of Portal 2 would recognize this face right away (If my illustration of him is not too crappy, that is. XP )
He’s Stephen Merchant, the British comedian who’s the voice behind this loveable Core, Wheatley.
Also, If you've listened to Ricky Gervais' podcast, you'll know him as well. Karl Pilkington was the most hillarious one there, though.
(In my opinion anyway.)I had this idea of them together in mind for a long time now (not a new idea, actually.) and wanted to try if I can make a bit of a caricature out of someone’s face, so yeah, here he is. Just don’t zoom too close or you’ll see how rough this work actually is.
Comments are most welcome!
Oh, and, I know it's not exactly a portrait, ...just a little reference to the game's achievement.
Another thing is that Wheatley's actually much bigger than this, but I wanted Steve to be able to hold him, so yeah.

Now that's how Wheatley looks! Most of the robot AIs look better in human form when they look like their voice actors

Most people tend to portray human appearance of Wheatley as Stephen Merchant's. And I have to agree, especially if that voice actor is one of the funniest comedian and writer out there.

this is so cute X3 ...and he did an amazing job ...me and my boyfriend would just wait and wait for ages just to listen to more things he would say if we didn't do what Wheatley said immediatly....XDXD

Indeed he did! It's amazing how he can make a metal ball with just an eye so dynamic and hillarious, not to mention loveable. This might be the only game that I enjoy standing around and do nothing just to hear a character say something. xD

XD Of course. My favorite one in the podcasts is Karl Pilkington though. Love his ideas and opinions on things! ^^

Oh that orange headed man.... Lol he troubles me xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol Indeed. Anything he says can get you wondering how he even thought up such absurd ideas. xD But sometimes he's got great point about what he says.

Thank you again! It took quite some time, actually, not exactly quick.

Nope, not at all. He's just very good at acting dumb.
Thank you very much!

i dont see why, you've got a cool style going on there - its rather orginal the way you've introduced colour and tone

He stares into my soul... 
Wheatly always reminded me of a volleyball for some reason. Man... and I have a thing for British actors, especially cheesy/snarky British actors. 
And you did this in a little over an hour? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Should that mean my caricature is okay enough?
Maybe his textures,... and how at some point of the game you might get the urge to slap him in the face. 
I got a bit lucky, I guess.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, of course. 
Hmm, maybe the texture, color and shape.
Okay!
Are you being modest now? <--- (LOL)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aww thanks! 
It wouldn't be a spoiler if I say that you mistook him for another "Core", would it?
Oh no, just being as cool as always. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You're welcome! 
Aww, I guess I wasn't aware there were more than one.
Oh, very well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I have some ideas in mind.
Heheh, right you are. Like I said, any videos related to Portal could be a spoiler, since the game's full of surprises. (Oh, and the comments on the videos, too. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know. I think it would be cool. I would like it, if I was him.
Anyway, let's see what other caricatures you'll do next.
I try to avoid the Youtube comments like the plague. (Mostly because they've been scientifically proven to lower your I.Q.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I actually don't know where I can send this to him, either. XD
Aww! You've always been so eager to see what I'll do.
Scientifically proven, really?!

Oh, right.
Always!
