As a huge fan of both Half-Life and Rambo, creating a painting of Rambo Freeman only made sense. Plus I was pretty inspired by this fantastic video by eli_handle_b․wav.
I guess he could also kinda fit as Rocky, some sort of an everyman thrust into greatness through sheer willpower. Damn, if they made a Half-Life movie in the 1980s, it probably should’ve starred Sylvester Stallone.
Here’s a picture of the one and only Rambo that I based the painting on:
Here’s some initial versions of this painting as well, for some reason I decided to reduce Gordon’s hair a bit from Rambo’s mane. He is a highly trained professional after all.
Shameless plug: Buy a print of this here!
