Aphtober day 2 - Gift

Zane was so nice to give a pretty little necklace to a child outside of Falcon Claw. Absolutely nothing bad happened. The story ended nicely and everyone was happy. Totally.

Oh also I wrote a fic about it :) (first ever Aphmau ao3 fic!! Woohoo!! Link is under the cut) it’s called The Fall of Falcon Claw and it’s my first fic in multiple years so hopefully it’s good? Link is also under the cut too!

Once again, Aphtober prompt list is by @vyladromeave !!

Tw for death, because actually the necklace wasn’t nice and bad things did happen. Sorry if I got your hopes up before.

Official!! finally!!

I wanted to make their design stand out, so I created them from scratch; they're not loadouts you can find in-game. Plus a little bit of character description because I'm dying to talk about them and their roles in the story (*wearing a shirt that says "please talk to me about my fic"*).

Now I can finally draw them often!!

Somewhat goofy clothing sheets under the cut↓↓↓

I tried to design them the way their silhouettes and colors stay recognisable, as if they were meant to be used in-game later, to not to break the gameplay rules. I also wanted them to look as tf2-like as possible, I studied the hell out of the 3d models and on the last three I guess it started to turn out decent. Drawing Spy is still pain though.

Or maybe it's just that I'm not attracted to the majority of the mercs visually?? That's why they don't look satisfying?? Lmao. Need to adjust them to my tastes later.

I'm not sure I can exactly explain my design choices with these... How exactly they correlate to their characters. There is something, but I went for it fully intuitively.

//

For BLU scout I went for the softer, rounder oversized clothing to accent his insecurity and the need to shield himself for comfort. It still needed to shape his torso (game rules) but his hood and sleeves do the deed. There is also a strict rule in how to draw his freckles: they look more like moles and there's 7 or 8 of them. You won't believe me if I say this is lore relevant.

For RED Scout, I went with the more aggressive military style. I think I literally took this jacket design from a real military one. There should be an accent on his heavy relations with the army. His clothes are tight because he still likes himself.

RED Sniper is giving hunter vibes, forest type. BLU Sniper looks more like a fisher or a winter hunter. Not sure what deeper meaning I could assign to this except that BLU Sniper was heavily referenced on Ogata Hyakunosuke.

BLU Spy should radiate tiredness. His look is quite unkept for his standards but at this point it doesn't matter anymore. The turtleneck and the boots are special requests from @/gentlesurgeryenjoyer (xoxo)

BLU Medic just looks so freaking cool in a black shirt. It was a vision. I'm not sure if black and white accents mean anything in terms of which side those characters are on. I also wanted to separate him from another famous horror witnessing Medic.

And Miss Pauling was the most satisfying to draw, it was a gift to draw her last... I gave her pants because it's getting cold outside at the time when the story takes place. I also find it very impractical to go killing job in a pencil skirt, I'm sorry. She probably also wears snickers underneath.

And also thanks to @nightly-headache for helping out and assistance!

Another sketch for God of Shadows by @ladygreenfrisbee

Because I got inspired by a series of photos my friend sent me but also, a ‘what if Wukong managed to catch Macaque’ or ‘what if Macaque didn’t immediately melt into the shadows’ kind of thing… idk

Tried natural light for this one, I dunno which version I like better

Also I like to imagine Chang’e gradually changing Macaque into more and more feminine hanfus just because

dead on arrival by @coldbronzemoon

"Sixer," he said into the cold air. His voice was hoarse. "Stanford. What are you doing? Get up." There was a dark patch on the wall in front of his brother. "Stanford. This isn't fucking funny. I'm tryin' to help you."

The fic stayed in my head; I just had to.
