Project Borealis: April 1st

Making pictures, I tend to unintentionally spend too much time detailing trivial things, so I very much enjoy working on simpler dumb pics from time to time. So here are some thematically tied such exercises:

Freeman: Into the Freeman-Verse
Freeman approaching Combine Mega-structure

and the Freeman's Crowbar pic from April 1st 2018

  

The freemanverse includes some sneaky bits, such as:

• freemen are numbered, 12 in total
• an equation in the top left.
• the wall of text at the bottom is a collection of first paragraphs from wiki pages of various freemen.
• the green maps at each side are "Freeman, South Dakota" and "Freeman, Wisconsin" for some reason, idk.
• h7z and pb signs are in mint red, just so you know it.
• the whole backdrop is the borealis scene I threw together in sketchup with the checkerboard texture over it.
• a barely noticeable exempt from epistle over the error in the sky
• "half-life" and "borealis" written in cyrillic somewhere

the final high-resolution pictures are up on some galleries
