Should me and my team incorporate the G-Man's now purple socks into the wolf gman we're doing? We are changing quite a lot of his design (we realized we couldn't really keep the emaciated look, so we're doing more of a strong, cocky aura. Thank god GoldSRC is so limited or this would be soo much harder), but the outfit is remaining mostly the same. I was just wondering if we should keep the outfit faithful to HL1 or follow the retcons? (Speaking of which, I just got the idea to do a mod of HL1 that incorporates all the series retcons...)

Okay are yall ignoring this intentionally?

 

Yeah, no, wouldn't be surprised

Well, see, the purple socks part in particular comes from this art from Steam's 20th anniversary.

Well, it matches with his tie!

In everything except HL1. Therein lies our dilemma...

Hmm I see... but, at the same time, he will be a wolf so, you are already deep in changing stuff, the purple socks are not that big of a deal, I think

Fair enough. I joke that you can do anything with a fursona because once you're dealing with anthropomorphic animals, you're already giving reality the finger, so you might as well just go all-out with it. Still, I want to try and keep things faithful... You know what, I'll probably get the advice of the other people on my team, as opposed to the random non-furs on the internet.

That's probably a good call. They should have a better understanding of what you're going for than us non-furs.

Actually, only two other team members are furries, and I don't really trust the advice of one of them. Still, they also know quite a bit about character design and Natalya should be able to do some sketches so we should have a decent idea before I try and model it...

EDIT: I just caught the italic on "non-furs," sorry if that somehow offended you...

Context is tricky over the internet, but no offense was taken or intended by the italics. 😁
