Back in the days of Half-Life 1 I created a lot of mods for this game. Simple mods like replacing sounds and animations and creating my own maps. It was then when I started loving low-poly modeling; building geometry using as little poly’s as possible and then adding detail with textures. A few days ago I created this alien for an Augmented Reality sample within less then two hours and after I was done I realised that Half-Life still inspires me. It totaly looks like some sort of Alien Slave mixed with a Shock Trooper from Opposing Force.
