Dunno, you've probably seen this already, but this popped up today:

http://www.valvetime.net/threads/exclusive-half-life-2-episode-3-concept-art.206815/

OK, so the stuff dates from 2008, but still good to see considering how much Valve are keeping shtum on the whole thing...

CJR, not only accounted for again, but also revealing cool stuff for the BDUniters. (I'll be honest, I'd seen this before reading your post, but still)

I think they're real. Which means Valve is pissed, something I don't like, but at least we get some taste of HL again. Exciting!

And Gordon and Alyx actually putting on some new clothes, for once...

Hello, I'm back! :D

To be honest I don't think Valve would really have much to be pissed about; it's stuff from 4 years ago. That said, the Picasa account that it was originally uploaded to has now been closed down, so who knows... But as you say, it's a taste of HL, which after 5 years with only 2 pieces of concept art is pretty good!

Also, I managed to find and share something on the day it actually happened, which by my standards is pretty good... :o)

Flashy: Yeah, I'd imagine that HEV suit smells pretty ripe by now!

I just hope Alyx's face in the artwork doesn't mean they're "recasting" her model. I've just grown too connected to Jamil Mullen's face for such a radical switch.

Also, you know what'd be cooler than Gordon "Parkaman" Freeman? Kleiner giving Gordon a HEV helmet! Full-suit Gordon versus the Combine, hoorah!

PS: It's been confirmed that this is real art by Andrea Wicklund, a Valve artist, from 2008. It was in her Picasa account since then and someone got access to the images now.

If they give him a helmet, it would make the whole... getting shot in the head more realistic
But they'd be in danger of making the whole suit look like something from Halo. That would suck

I was thinking about the helmet too, but nah.

I like the new clothes more.

Not to mention how the headcrabs have never sticked to his head.

And yeah, I guess giving Gordon a mask would remove some of his charisma, but I don't think it'd look too Halo. I mean, just take a look:
