Portal 2 is my favorite story driven video game of all time, rivaled only by ARK: Survival Evolved. When I was invited back to the West Virginia Game Expo hosted at my former school, I realized I needed more fan and game related pieces to sell. I have my own Silhouette cutting machine, so after purchasing sheets of labeling paper, all that was left to do was design my stickers!

Within the game are four characters called "Cores" with distinct personalities. I wanted their pictures to be as expressive as possible, occasionally adding props that added to their character. I had room to fill up the pages I was printing on, so I added two filler companion cube stickers, another popular and recognizable item from the game. And, realizing I would be among fellow fans, I even threw in characters from two of the most popular fan-made DLC's, "Portal Stories MEL" and "Aperture Tag."

All of the portal stickers were an absolute hit at the show, and were by far my best seller. I also recorded the speedpaint of drawing them to show on-screen behind me at the fair, still posted on my YouTube channel.
