Really good job, I am in awe of anyone who can draw, especially with a mouse.

Wooo! Very nice! :D
For some reason to me the hand seems to not be as much of the same style coloring wise as the rest, somewhat more 3D-cartoony..Not sure why. Still, this is great, good work! :D
Ever played Portal? It's in the same universe as Half Life.

GF is very nicely done, but the lighting on his face doesn't match the background (or vice versa). The wall on the left should be dark, or if it receives so much light from the lamps on the other side, then GF's left cheek shouldn't be in the shadow... The crowbar also looks a bit imported from somewhere else... (should have thes ame shadows as GF's face).

Very nicely done britsie :)
I think I can see why your lighting is different on the man. I'm assuming the tunnel has lights on both sides?
Maybe just add a light on the other side as well so people can see that.

Thanks for all the awesome comments guys. I'm sure there is much room for improvement but after 18 hours I figured whatever mistakes it has is acceptable :)
