Very nice art! Shodan is still one of my favorite characters in gaming history somehow.

Though as a minor nitpick, the "=" in front of the name is just dA's user level indicator (like "normal", "subscribed", "beta tester", etc.), so the artist name would just be "peganthyrus"

Along those lines...

Very nice! I liked it well enough before reading the description for it, actually. References to SHODAN and GlaDOS are fine, but without that context, the image looks like something H.R. Geiger might have drawn, if his art style was cleaner and more stylized. It reminds me a little of the Pilot imagery.

Thanks for the link!

Pinehead, I'm aware of Giger but have never really been a fan. This drawing was mostly influenced by the comics of Matt Howarth and by what happens when I scrawl quickly in Illustrator.

(I've changed pen names since getting the DA account, if you're wondering, but they have no facilities for changing names, and I don't wanna bother re-uploading everything to a new account there...)

Most maniacal? Durandal would take exception to that. That is if he wasn't so busy causing stars to go prematurely supernova and bending the fabric of spacetime itself so that he can expand without fear of the universe collapsing into the Big Crunch.
