Description
Here's something fun I created based on the game, Alan Wake, which I really enjoyed playing.*SPOLER ALERT!*
This is a bit about the inside joke that poor Wake is not a very good sprinter.
Sure he may jog everywhere, but when dodging and sprinting away from the Taken, he lasts about...5 seconds? ARGH! (The title was meant to be called, "Wake Be Nimble, Wake Oops-Bear-Trap-and-Now-You're-Gonna-Die.") Not enough room. Oh well.
*END SPOILER*
Medium: Pencil, Micron Pen, gray tone markers, and a bit of Photoshop to burn, dodge, smudge, and add text. I suppose it's truly mixed media, but I spent several hours on the drawing, and I'm proud of it, so I'm going to keep it marked as traditional.

I assume that's why the thermoses everywhere are so important...

Always I'm running into the light one Taken will hit me and I die next to that light and I hate that I didn't make it xD

More like sprinting. I made him run everywhere. (You'd think he'd get better at it, but nooo...)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol yeah. haha I know and you would think he could sprint pretty fast with all that coffee he drinks...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Which is probably why he searches all those buildings...y'know, for a pit stop?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah and because of those...mmm pit stops.... he often get's killed XD

I guess the Taken don't need caffeine?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
lol apparently not... and yet Alan still can't run faster than them
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well..the creators didn't want to make things too easy, I suppose.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, I think this is truly funny to those who have tried running from the Taken to find that Wake cannot run to save his life, literally. I found myself yelling at Wake going "Why can't you run any faster!! Run, Wake, run!" xD
And by the way, was that a Mulan referance at the very end? Just wondering....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Mulan? No, actually. I haven't seen that film in ages. I and a friend of mine thought up the gag. You have me curious, as I can't quite remember what you mean.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Haha, well, Mulan is one of my absolutle favorite Disney movies, and during the song "I'm Gonna Make a Man Out of You" one of the soldiers say "Why was I a fool in school for cutting gym!" Soooo yeah, that's where I was going with that.... xD

Ah, of course. It's been years since I saw that one.

It did always frustrate me how poor his cardio was. Especially when you're up against several Taken that are coming from all the directions, and the first thing you nee to do is run away to get some distance before you're encircled. But then he slows down and gets swarmed and killed DX
Then again, he's a writer so he couldn't be that athletic.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, to me he's a jogger, because he does run everywhere. But his sprinting abilities leave much to be desired.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
LMAO! I hated it when he slowed down after running for only,what, 10 seconds.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
AWW! Brilliant!

Meh, it's not perfect, but it gets the point across, which was the goal.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it doesn't need to be perfect in order to be lovely

And thank God for that!
