GMod Art Time Open Thread

Been making some more background artwork images in Garry’s Mod lately but unfortunately I didn’t have nearly enough time to put them up because I was too tired…

Anyways, I’ll plan on making something that’s related to Independence Day which starts tomorrow because our town’s firework show has been cancelled due to COVID-19 which means we’re not going to be able to see some fireworks from the show this year. Open Thread!

I Kan Haz Crocodile Hat

Been playing around some Team Fortress 2 lately, and I decided to sacrifice my Darwin’s Danger Shield along with my four refined metal to make a top half of a crocodile head:

I’ve been looking that up on their official Wiki page and in the Trivia section there was a similar hat with the same name appears in the sequel of Dota as a reference to this hat.

I created a thing on Father’s Day

I decided to turn one of my old TF2 screenshots into something special for my dad Ivan_Fookinov:

It was a picture of a Demoman wearing a whiskey bib, grey summer shades and a grey Antarctic Eyewear. The reason why I made that is because Ivan likes to play as Demoman and other classes that he mostly played as which are Soldier, Heavy and Engineer.

Time for a new GMod background photo

I uploaded my latest GMod artwork for tonight on Steam. It was me happily hugging a Combine Elite soldier wearing a shiny red soldier helmet inside a Japanese high school:

The reason why is because the Combine Elite are my most favorite kind of Combine soldiers in the Half-Life 2 series. Oh, and what I like about them are their white helmets with a single red ocular lens and two small domes located where the ears of the soldier would be, their stylistic white uniforms with neck guards, and their slick black boots that they’re all wearing. I also like the insignias from the chest, the left arm sleeve and the uniform’s neck guard.

In tonight’s post: How NOT to play Quake

I decided to get back into some Quake but instead I’m inside a Quake map in GMod. While I’m in there I made my new background pic of what I’ve been working on lately:

It was me resurrecting a Quake 2 Tank Commander from the dead and adopting it as my heavily armored and armed pet of destruction. 😛 Plus I got more where that came from on my Steam profile if anyone of you Slackers are interested.

Lay’s.

I forgot to put my latest GMod background photo the other day because I was too busy making a fresh batch of header images. It was a picture of Sheckley and Griggs from HL2:EP2 sitting on a dark green couch getting baked and taking turns eating potato chips from a Lay’s potato chip bag next to them:

They decided to take a break from fighting dozens of Antlions under the tunnel and celebrate 420 inside a random apartment. 😛

Some fun with Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel with friends

Last night my sister Tomala invited to me play Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel with Yutram and Lil’ Queef while Tomala’s live streaming on YouTube and Twitch. It was a lot of fun other than the part where I was driving my Moon Buggy to where my friends are when suddenly my Moon Buggy somehow exploded on me from an engine leak, killing me instantly but I have managed to rise from my space grave and spend some chicken feed after that. Hopefully we’ll do this again on my next day-off or so.

After we got done playing that game I decided to make some background artwork in GMod before moving on to playing Borderlands 2 by myself to continue my grinding level progress. Here’s a picture of something that Tomala was imagining after getting off work the other day:

It was Elsa, who has a funny-looking face, shoving a lightsaber up Darth Vader’s butt. The reason why I made that is because there was a new Star Wars movie and the sequel of Disney movie Frozen coming out on BluRay and DVD.
