From the archives, first stab at HL2 promo art that we felt wasn't the right mood for Alyx. Used this somber tone for the Gordon street pic instead and gave her more power in the Alyx/Gordon shot. She seemed too chic here too, hence the duct tape/hoodie added to the final.
There was a desire to give her an iconic weapon like Gordon's crowbar, and so the socket wrench was aimed towards that. We never followed through on making it a thing for her in the game though, so it was born and died here in this image.

Do you have any Episode 3 stuff like this laying around? If so you should totally share it! We know we're never going to see Episode 3 but it would be amazing to see what could have been.

It's interesting to me that her pants in this art are very similar to the ones on her older model. Was there a period of cross-over with the concepts?
