I love Portal, the video game. I love how a small game sold as part of the Orange Box grew up to be a big powerhouse in the video game industry. I love the concepts, the fact that the player learns how to navigate 3D physics, the weird plot, and the songs. Oh, and I love how the cake is a lie.
I am not alone in my love of this game. Lisa Rye, known as
Risachantag on deviantArt, drew several pictures from Portal in a steampunk universe (inspired by the fact that Portal was created by
Valve on
Steam). While I could wax eloquently about these pictures, I will instead show you what a fantastic (and fantastical) artist Ms. Rye is.

In addition to making art, Risachantag also wrote creative stories around the pictures. So if you have a few minutes, it's worth going to
her website and reading up.
