Hitting the ground runnin' on my Ep 3 portfolio project.. Boreal Alyph is now defunct but there's still ideas and concepts i want to explore and theres some stuff from BA i'd like to incorporate in these pieces. I'm going to revisit my old Alyx design a bit and have plans to do stuff with Gordon, Mossman, and Barney. Andrea Wicklund's leaked portfolio for Ep 3(4th image) is a big reason I got into concept art in the first place, so I was most excited to do my take on the arctic assassin/elite design. I also looked at Ted Backman's (5th image) original combine assassin and tried that out in the third image but I personally prefer the first 2 designs. I'm trying to imagine I'm designing this in the vein of HLA's combine designs but in a colder climate and what an assassin character would look like in a modern HL setting. It doesnt end here with this, i'll probably iterate and explore these further throughout the project
