"I decided to make this on a whim and thought, "you know, i should show appreciation to one's character, and why not draw Snackbar Snackbar's Valerie Character as a gift for him?" And so i did, an not-asked, but a welcome gift for him.

I did my best to make Valerie look like herself in some art of Valerie, and i did my best to try and get her accurate somewhat, whilst ALSO doing some design liberties with her. Her upper body and arms weren't as angular and sharp-looking so i did some edits there. I gave her the same eye design as Cleetra, my anthro Combine Gunship gal, has since i think it fits her a little more. Gave her breastplate alot more angles and a cyan glowing light to it's center as well. And i added some small vertical stabilization fins to her calves. It's Combine (and in turn, Viktor Antonov's) Design Philosophy. I also used actual rotor textures of the Hunter Chopper ripped from it's model to add to make the rotors look more rotate-y at speed. I also added some Blood-staining to her maw, hands and feet to show she's a bit of a predatory huntress as Snackbar had designed of her.

But at least im happy i drew another anthro machine, and im VERY happy that Snackbar is happy with this work as well, i showed him some WIP images of this work. I now have a basis on how to draw more images of Val whenever i ask him to make another work of her. I didn't ask him to make it, but he's more accepting of this work. I also made a great background image, just atmosphere, and the G-man just standing, watching Val passing by like the specter of mystery he is. I had an idea to have an easteregg of Cleetra peeking behind the red barn building eyeing up Val, but... meeeh, i spaced that out and realized how Val is positioned in the image, sorry!"
