Description Here are the three custom figures I made of the protagonists of the Half-Life series. From left to right, it's Gordon Freeman (Half-Life), Barney Calhoun (Blue Shift) and Adrian Shephard (Opposing Force), all under the watchful eye of the G-Man. Now, if only Hasbro would bring back the 8" line and make some female figures. Then maybe I could give Half-Life: Decay some love.

If you want to read about how I made each figure, visit this [link]

For the poster itself, I grabbed a screenshot of the G-Man model using Garry's Mod and threw in some transparency and gradient effects. Then I cut out the background behind the figures and pasted them in. I added some lens flare for Barney's flashlight and gave the text an outer glow. Very simple Photoshop job.

good job with that the Gman is just a stalker because he stalked you through the first half life and half life 2 and everyone is his pawn

Actually, G-Man was responsible for the entire Black Mesa Incident, so in a way, all three protagonists were puppets in his game (directly or otherwise).

At least Barney escaped his grasp

...for now.

Here's to hoping for a Blue Shift 2. Something where you control barney while Gordon is elsewhere

tamm3r In reply to tehMatrix [2010-02-23 04:56:03 +0000 UTC]

I had originally planned on making one, but none of the available heads I had to work with screamed G-Man, so I guess we'll never know

Thanks for the fave, though!

Oh my God! THE Jin Saotome! I actually consulted your site for painting tips before working on my customs, so that's so awesome that you found these and commented! Thanks for that! I didn't see that you were doing a Half-Life custom at the time, though. Was yours a recent addition?

Hey, ya knows meh! Yep, check my Gallery, he's a few pics down. I've been doing a lot of Sigma 6 'Video Game All Stars' customs for Playstation Magazine.
