Aeon and Karen © me

***
Almost a century later, Aeon found himself entering another back-alley compound with his sister Karen.
Though this time they were on a mission and not to catch up on their lives like back then.
Despite the stakes at hand of being mercenaries, they still find comfort in each other's presence - and perhaps complete the contract with stellar results as well.

Quite a nice debut art I got for these two :P
When I first created them, they were supposed to be antagonists to my first OC, Raymond.
But they ended up being antiheroes instead, with pretty tragic backstory and a turbulent life as a whole. But in the end, these two still have each other.
I guess I just grew out of the teenager phase and prefer to create wholesome stuffs instead xD

Also, yes, the background for this was inspired by cs_backalley from CS 1.6 (and CS Source), even the artist grabbed the brick texture from the CSS map and used it for this pic xD
