OC INFO UNDER THE CUT!

We highly encourage you to take a peek to make your decision!

The Courier

@sicc-nasti

Do you like receiving your mail on time and your packages in pristine condition - untouched by curious hands and peeping eyes? Do you love when your woefully embarrassing love letters filled with poetry from your soul are delivered with the utmost care and secrecy? Does it fill you with glee when your special snacks you ordered overseas finally make its way into your hands and not a SINGLE piece is missing?

If you said yes to any of these questions then WOW do I NOT have the guy for you!!!!

Instead-

TFI presents you something you didn't know was possible OR legal - weaponized postal services!

Meet your 10th Class-

The Courier!

By intercepting and opening someone else's mail, an individual can gain access to confidential information that can be used for identity theft, fraud, or other illegal activities. And we wouldn’t want that, now would we? That's why our solution to this simple problem is bringing the mail to the battlefield! Courier is equipped with MANN CO approved disposable stackable mail crates for your climbing or shielding needs. Just think of how nice it would be to build a tower to do taunts on or have cover from that enemy Heavy's hail of bullets. Sure it's clunky but nothing shreds paper faster than a bullet - that's science tested and math approved by TFI scientists! And monkeys!

Courier is THE MANN for the job.

If that ain't enough to catch your attention, let's take a peek at the men behind the uniform.

RED’s Courier is a Puerto Rican ex-felon hailing from the greatest place on earth! New York City! With an insatiable appetite for all things fraud, deli meats, and violence - what more could you ask from a guy?

BLU's Courier is a Puerto Rican-Italian ex-con plucked from the greatest place on earth! Jersey City! With an insatiable appetite for all things smuggling, deli meats, and violence - what more could you ask from a guy?

Not enough for a vote?

Well, listen, I'm not above bribery. If you vote for them, Courier promises to not read your mail for like a week and INSTEAD- will write you up a totally not fraudulent marriage certificate to any merc you want!! Just think! Finally legally married to Heavy! Or Engie! How’s that sound for incentive, boss?

THROUGH RAIN, SHINE, BULLET HAIL OR SNOW, THEY’RE YOUR COURIER.

VOTE FOR COURIER IN THIS UPCOMING TF2 OC CONTEST

Maybe there’ll be enough in the budget for a third one!

Armani & Marcel, The Decoys

@friendlyengie

When your job description is to be as obnoxious as possible, obviously you’re going to send in a clown! Armani is a Decoy, which means his purpose is to get on the field and draw as much attention to himself as possible. Sure, it probably means he gets killed frequently, but isn’t that half the fun?

Personally, Armani is rough and over the (big)top. He’s Italian, too. If that helps. If it doesn’t ignore that part. He’s got the flowery language exaggerated expressions of a performer and absolutely none of the social tact. He’s loud and in your face and simply does not care! Take him or leave him, baby! (Please take him.)

Marcel is just a guy. A little man. His mime-specific approach to the decoy class means he’s a lot less loud shouting and japes, and a lot more inconvenient tricks and hiding where you just can’t see him. He saves his breath unless he has the chance to be really funny. As a person, Marcel is eccentric and expressive. Cartoonishly so. A man of few words, since said words can only be spoken when he pulls the string on his back, he normally conveys his thoughts through actions instead. He’s annoying, and he wants you to know that specifically. He’s charming enough that he can make people forget how obnoxious he is just long enough for whatever stunt he pulls next to come out of nowhere. Ain’t he just so charming?

The Therapist

@hazardtoons

You wouldn’t expect an organisation like Team Fortress Industries to invest in something like mental health treatment for its hardened soldiers. The one giving them this generous care is a woman only known by those who work at the company as Therapist - a seemingly well-intentioned lady there to give everything from a shoulder to cry on to someone to seek advice from.

There is a catch, however. Not all the information she gathers from her clients is used for good. Underlying that comforting presence is another tool of oppression used in the company.

Remember to vote for THE BARMAN in the TF2 OC CONTEST when he comes up!

[ruthytwoshakes]

stupids. love that clown thing @friendlyengie

vote Italian in the tf2 polls or I kill you with big giant hammer

Older art! Glider is not a fan of clowns because of some kinda doofenshmirtz-level childhood tragedy involving them. Love him. I think your clown should throw that little bomb present at him explosion dead forever

[meet-the-courier]

Have you ever wanted the chance to draw ur oc pulling a gun on Brodie while giving Brady a kiss on the cheek? Or ur sona giving them both a pat on the head? Or maybe you'd wanna draw a random clown hitting them in the face with a pie? No? Well too bad! Now's your chance anyways! Feel free to draw whatever you'd like fitting between here. They're being paid to stand there so make em work for it!

Merry Smissmass! And don't forget- give em a vote in the @tf2occontest on Dec 29th! Single versions under the cut!

[sicc-nasti]

I think it's about time to update Brodie's look, don't y'all? Help me by adding the ingredients that make him!

Make sure to share so we get plenty of votes in!

I've seen the other side

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY EMESIS BLUE

I know this is a couple days late but sometimes working on something of this scale can take longer than you think... It was a lot of fun experimenting with the lighting and colors and I'm very pleased.

Emesis Blue is a big inspiration to me and influenced a lot of things with the BLU Jack of All Trades, "Bluey", so I really wanted to make something that did it all justice (I'm also happy to answer any asks about it :])

Enjoy and please be sure to VOTE FOR THE JACK OF ALL TRADES in the TF2 OC Contest!

[hazardtoons]

A dramatic reenactment of a typical day at work for Therapist (via the HELP ME ERIINNNN meme :3). Now you see how much she goes through on the daily, won't you toss her a vote?

i know video posts dont typically do great on tumblr but i hope this reaches the audience who needs to see as it did take a bloody good long time hehe

[calsartisttrashbin]

May I offer a collab during these trying times (waiting for votes)?

Miss Kimiko just checking in! Totally for no reason! And definitely not because she can see the cameras! What exactly is going on anyway?

Feel free to add in something silly or serious on the other side!

Blank under the cut

[reptil-enjoyer]

I was SUPOSSED to draw actual propaganda but it turned into whatever those two are, ah well. Cherry would 100% take those couple selfie photos and post em with like ahundred emojis and filters

[meet-the-net]

𝐁𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐬 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞.

Will the slime of Ned's fish prevail?

Will it extinguish the bottled blaze hurled towards him by @trypo-p's Barman?

You decide in the Team Fortress 2 OC competition

[friendlyengie]

Brodie: "So strange how there was a big chomp taken outta my birthday cake! Who knows what happened to it...." ----------

I couldn't NOT draw something for my boy's birthday. He's my everything, as real as the sun and the moon and the birds that sing outside my door. Happy Birthday Brodie! Feel free to send him bday asks if youd like! It is ALSO Courier Birthday Week! Brodie's is the 22nd, Brandie the 25th, Brady the 28th and Brutus the 31st! Who knows how they each might react to a kind bday message ;3c
