42. Culling Half-Life Creatures? Yeah, Man!

Gordon Freeman is not amused.

After crashing through Half Life 2, of course you start looking up the disturbing Easter Eggs and noticing how "human" the headcrab zombie speech is due to the, sometimes unintelligible, yelling that they do.

Many dispute what they actually say, have a look at this youtube video to get a better idea. At 0:10, I am convinced that they yell "YEAH, MAN!!!!! MY ICING!!! GAAAWWWWWWWWD!!!! HEEEELLLLLP MEEEE!"

Forever after noticing this, the headcrab zombies are known as the Yeahmans to me :) So, are all the headcrab zombies just brodudes, frat boys and lads?

I hope so, it makes killing them even more satisfying! :P

Taking a little break

Hi all!

Just a little break, I am in the middle of drawing my friends as Adventure Time characters, getting the Half Life strip I've been trying to finish for the last 4 months :P and finally getting #MoltenCrazy started.

I aim to post 100 panels before the end of the year :) I may include some older stuff I have previously scanned in.

It is quite exciting though. 440 views since I started this page and even Alex Woolfson enjoyed the little strip I did for him. Holy shit, man! :D

41. She Doesn't Think You're Special

Joni doesn't like how I draw her apparently :(

Well XP to you!

*harrumph*

40. Arrival, New Arrival

Remember I posted yesterday that Ryan was going through an extraordinary change? Will this is it: things were difficult for him for a while and it all came to a head. I was there as much as possible, considering the distance between us. Questioning your sexuality is one thing, questioning your gender is quite another and that is precisely what happened. Finally, he reached that moment where he finally came out as transgender. I could not be more happy for her, when she could finally be happy with who she is. She was not happy as a male, she wanted to be a woman. Ryan is now Joni, and she is happier than she ever has been before :)

Godspeed, you amazing individual :)

Definitely one of the most difficult things I have drawn, it still brings a tear to my eye.

Note to Joni:

This has been undoubtedly the most difficult Biscuit I have ever drawn. I was afraid of overstepping a boundary, projecting too much of my own experience coming out, or that it would just make you angry. Being the neurotic fuck that I am I was petrified of what you would think.

During the train back home, 3 songs came up on shuffle. "Oats We Sow" and "Boats & Birds" by Gregory & the Hawk, and "Kawaii" by Devin Townsend (see the links below). They brought tears to my eyes as I thought about what you must have gone through in your life to finally reach that point you could finally be your true self. It had been a long time since I have seen you that comfortable. I broke my own rule when I first "met" you! Never add a Facebook friend whom you've never met or don't know well. I am fucking glad I did.

A kind, loyal, complex person with intelligence to match and a big heart (mush!). And quite good looking, too! :)

Over the last 2 years you have become a close and personal friend. This doesn't really happen for me as I don't really allow it sometimes. Letting my guard down to allow strangers into my life brings an unfathomable amount of anxiety.

We have supported each other as much as we can considering the distance. We grew fond of each other and bonded over Börk :) I loved your confidence and ability to make others feel welcome and comfortable around you. Even complete strangers. You truly deserve the best for the amazing person that you are.

These were the songs that came up 
Oats We Sow - Gregory & the Hawk  
Boats & Birds - Gregory & the Hawk
Kawaii - Devin Townsend

Spot the lyrics in the strip! :)

39. Dreaming Sweetly

Another text from Ryan telling me he was strutting down the street listening to the Eurythmics song, Sweet Dreams. He looks so happy and fabulous, doesn't he? :)

Even Annie Lennox looks positively megalomaniacal!

The next post will depict an extraordinary development in Ryan's life. I think it's important to show it as Ryan will be appearing regularly and I was given permission to post it on this site :) I hope you guys will like it, it's my best and most difficult strip I've had to draw to date.

38. Ryan's Bath Time

I was texting and instant messaging with Ryan a while ago, he told me he was in the bath with his laptop, a glass of wine and a cigarette. He told me he was "totally winning" :P

So I just had to draw him doing this. He loved it :) So, I WIN!!

37. Silly Anxieties - Epilogue / Fuzzy Face MakedGoodFeelNice

 

 

Even simple things like this has made me feel anxietal. Doesn't happen a lot, in all honesty Dave has the king of all beards. It's magnificent, it's so nice and soft and he does actually purr when you stroke it. Me and my buds (those who have beards) we share affection by giving each other beard rubs. It's nice :) It's a nice form of "bromance", and we all purr :P

Hehe, nothing like a bit of man love between friends :)

I am growing mine out even more 'cause I'm going for the Khal Drogo look.
