My choice

I've chosen to do the 3D asset art test. I chose it because i'm very fond of the half life games, and have done 3D work on the franchise before and i'm familiar with its aesthetic. I will be researching half life the game on PC, and its remakes, (operation black mesa and black mesa: source).
