Description Okay here's what I was working on when that idea for humanized PotatDOS fell on my head and demanded I draw it.

As some of you might remember, I had a half-baked concept for a humanized Wheatley thrown into an earlier attempt to personify GLaDOS in that "Oh it's YOU" scene. I decided I liked his head design enough that I wanted to carry that on into a full design. I thought about it a little, then realized I wanted his outfit to follow the same theme as my humanized GLaDOS'. So, the hexagonal Aperture badges, and the black strips, as well as the gloves, are continued. There are some variations. Originally it was a jacket-and-pants ensemble, then I decided that was too dressy for him, and went with a jumpsuit.

The blue hair and glowing blue eyes were a must. I settled for a grayer complexion than the GLaDOS personification's, just to show he's a personality core rather than a gigantic psychotic AI. Though he was one for a bit...I'll have to depict that change in him, but I can't do that until I've worked out his basic design.

Anyways, Wheatley and Portal 2 are copyright of Valve.

Wow, he looks like someone out of Batman Beyond with those eyes. Some of the minor characters wear thin sunglasses or visors that glint like that, I believe.

Thank you. I wasn't sure what people were going to make of it, since a lot of times we get these geeky versions with glasses and all.

Welcome! Yeah, I don't really see why people make him geeky. Considering he's 'the greatest moron who ever lived', it doesn't really suit. xD

Now that I think about it, you've got a really good point.

Hmm. I might have to make my Wheatley look even dumber...

No, no, the only way to make him look dumber is to turn him into Jar-Jar Binks.

Oh my god.

You know... I've seen a lot of Portal/ Portal 2 comic series' that follow the game's storyline but with humanized character, it's always the same anime-ish GLaDOS though. I would be very interested to see what you would do with that.

Do not even get me started on the mental atrocity that is anime-style 14-year-old Miku-clone GLaDOS. Do. Not. Even.

I might consider doing that. I don't know. My work schedule varies by week, and I'd have to consider if I want to put that much time into a project like that. However...I wouldn't mind doing scenes with the humanizations, or something smaller.

That would be very interesting to see. And I agree with you on the anime girl GLaDOS... doesn't make any sense.

"What was that? I'm not cute Who is this woman? I should kill her."

Ahaha, I actually - well, the first "Conversations with GLaDOS" piece I ever made, I haven't posted.

Because it's GLaDOS' reaction to the cutesy 14-year-old anime girl. Using combustible lemons. And a turret hiding behind me going "She ran out of neurotoxin."



I haven't decided if it'd be funny enough to the GLaDOS fans who might like it, or not. But I think I am gonna clean it up and color it. It's all crosshatch shaded right now cause it was a doodle.

I think it's hilarious! And all of those people that like the anime GLaDOS shouldn't be too offended as long as they like the character and have a good sense of humor. And if they are offended, they shouldn't be, and probably have no business reading this. I would love to see it.

Yeah I think I'm gonna post it.

The artists I like whose personifications I like don't do the cutsey 14-year-old loli style at all, and two of those have seen and commented on my work. One has said a lot of people go too anime when personifying her, so I wouldn't be surprised if both got a chuckle out of it.

I'm coloring and shading it right now. It's looking pretty fun.
