TF2 Scout in Toriyama style

Hello again! Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few months, I've been busier and busier at work.

Had some time to draw again today since I'm off work sick so I had to find some way to occupy myself and also keep busy in this awful heatwave that's over here (the UK) at the moment.

So I started a small drawing project I proposed in the discord server a while back- that I would try to draw the TF2 mercs in Toriyama's style. It made me really sad to hear of his passing a few months back because his Dragon Quest games were one of my favourite series growing up (IX was my favourite). It was a fun challenge and I'll try and get through all the mercs if I can. This is just a quick sketch of Scout to try and get the hang of the style initially (and also quick because the heat outside is making me expire…)

Hope you're all doing well, and feel free to ask to join the discord server anytime (we've been doing weekly Stardew Valley and TF2 games lately which have been really fun).🧡

All best, Athene 💜

I've updated my blog on desktop with this new theme by eggdesign!

I've kept my colour palette exactly the same - the only changes are the addition of the stickers on the left (some of my favourite art pieces), and the extra colour of red-pink for the link underlines/highlights.

It's a great-looking theme and nice and simplistic, hope you all like it!

Notebook

preview + install

The desperately needed revamp of Notes! It has most of the features of the original, with these new features:

Stickers! You can now have up to two stickers in your sidebar. By default the stickers will have some "puffy" sticker styling which can be turned off. Works best with transparent images.

You can now pick between ruled/lined, dotted/bullet, or grid paper! If you don't want any of these, you can make your line color the same as your post color.

You can now remove the tape if that doesn't fit your aesthetic.

Optional box shadows

Please let me know if you run into any issues with this theme!

Ariadne explaining how to navigate the labyrinth (and after) to Theseus. It’s important, she’s committing treason for you Theseus, don’t look at her like that.

See you next year, Scream Fortress! 🖤

I adored all the new TF2 maps and gaming on the server with everyone, it was really fun and I can't wait until the next round of games for Smissmas (and other games in the meantime of course).

Might do another poll for more merc portraits, but this time they will be winter loadouts! ❄️
