Hey lads and ladies of my favorite forum!
I have been waiting to make this thread for about a year
I'm pretty much exploding from excitement and have been near tears all day

Over a year ago, i was approached by Valve to do freelance work for them, most of you know that already, cause I did those Christmas cards and stuff, but this is the first and main project I did for them. I've been working on this for months, doing revisions and working with the company that does their plushes for them.

I designed plush toys for L4D characters :D
They're being released one after the other, starting with the boomer.
I can't even begin to tell you how proud I am of it
I received two in the mail today, and I literally almost cried
It's incredible to hold something in your hands that you drew, I can't even begin to tell you how cool that feels.
also he makes barf noises when you press his hand (which is sort of a funny story, I had to listen to like 50 barf tracks one day to find the 10 I liked, I almost threw up myself just listening to them)

so here he is! I'm just so beyond excited about it, and munkus said I could make a thread, so here it is!

    So, you're saying I should buy these, and then go buy l4d2?


    Edit: Woah, woah, wait. What? 50 bucks? That is not within my price bracket at all.

    Perspective is off. Lines on the right side seem to undefined. Severe lack of chiaroscuro. Liberal application of lens flare is required.

    I wish I didn't share everyone else's opinion on the price point... i just don't have the kind of money I would like to have for something like this. I hope you sell tons of these though :)
