Description Haven't submitted anything for a while, shame on me -_-

Well, Left 4 Dead. That game rocks. What else can I say about it? I want to do some more fanart of it later, and have ideas. I just need a reference...

This image is actually a little play on the thought "Which Special Infected you would be?" So there's my brother as the Tank, myself twice as the Hunter and the Witch, and StummerVogel as the Smoker.
Seems like none of us would be a survivor there - we'd only be part of the Horde.

Please do comment, and I'd also like to inform that I am looking for new colouring ways and styles, so if anyone has good advises or tips for tuts, please let me know.

Note: The tree brushes and the Left 4 Dead logo brush were not made by me.

Um, no. You got your four survivor characters (and the four Special Infected if you play the Versus mode), and that's about it. Although, we may now know what skins and designs for characters may come in time, since Valve has released the tool pack for mods and such just a little while ago. I checked some Campagn maps yesterday with my bro and let me tell you, people are already packed with ideas and releasing betas of their mods. And I think I saw a screenshot of someone's own design character a little while ago, so I'd say it's possible

As for Bloodlines, my friend has actually managed to make some characters of her own to that game.

OK, X3.
How do you play it as Special Infected? What's the difference?

Cool! What do they look like? XD

In the menu, you simply choose "Versus" mode, and then play it with friends or with people using Steam and entering in Versus at the moment. Your mission as a Special Infected is to, well, stay out of the sight of the survivors when needed, and then kill them ^^" I don't know how it goes when there's 8 people playing it, since my bro and I have only played with me being the Infected and my bro being one of the survivors (the rest are in AI), but when I've played it, it cycles through all the Special Infected ones. I alwasy start as a Smoker and when killed, become the Boomer, and when killed again, I become the Hunter. Only once, after a very succesful beat-up of a survivor as a Smoker, I was made the Tank.

So in short, the differences would be that you have different eyesight (world looks kinda orange and you can see in the dark), you are more vulnerable than the survivors, but you have special attacks, can climb over walls in certain places, are safe from zombies, and your task is to kill the survivors themselves. It's actually kinda cool to play as the Infected ^^

Heh, they look pretty cool, I always wish I could make characters like she does ^^

Cool!
And I bet the Tank is exactly what it says on the tin, lol

Nice! What's the backstory in Left 4 Dead?

Once again I lament the lack of being able to plas as a Tzimisce. They could look weirder as the game goes on. Although the Salubri Warriors might be interesting too.

Tank is the greatest headache beside the Witch in the game ^^" He's almost unstopable and can take some serious, serious damage before he falls down. So the name is describing, yeah ^^"

L4D has no backstory. It's simply four survivors in a zombie infested city (the intro video says it takes place 2 weeks after first infection). It actually fits well to the game; we have no clue what has happened, why it has happened, we can only guess about the reasons (there are a lot of wall-scriblings in the game which speculate on this from the viewpoint of previous survivors visiting safe rooms and such), we only know we're pretty much screwed and have to find away out of the city alive.
You can pretty much invent your own story as to what has happened if you like

Awesome... I don't suppose they don't come in chibi?
Btw - what are each of their special abilities?

Special abilities of the Boss Infected? Well, let's see...

Smoker has a long tongue he can use to grap an unsuspecting survivor, drag them about 100 feet or more, and use it to choke them to death or holding them at one place while he beats them to death.

Hunter is extremely agile, quick and great jumper. He uses his claws to kill, and his special pounce attack leaves survivors helpless. If Hunter pounces on a survivor, he/she can't escape, and thus the Hunter can claw them to death.

Boomer is, well, rather big, fat and slow compared to the others. He vomits on the survivors. His bile attracts the zombie Hordes to attack the survivors in frenzy.

Tank is literally a massive killing machine. He has size, strength, quickness, and takes a lot of damage to kill. He can rip concrete pieces from ground or use his own fists to kill the survivors.

Witch looks harmless as she sits somewhere crying alone, but she's probably the most dangerous of them all. If you startle her, she will kill you. She's incredibly fast, violent and her attack is almost certain to incapacitate and kill you unless she is stopped.

Well, I guess that's the abilities of the Special Infected ones in a crude nutshell or something ^^"

There's your Survival mode then ^^" My bro and I both got once killed by this combo: Hunter jumped on us; when we got free, Smoker grapped us and choked us until we were incapacitated - and THEN came the Tank to finish it all off. All this happened while surrounded by hundreds of zombies.
