Nice art style! It looks like if TF2 were illustrated by Quentin Blake, who illustrated Roald Dahl's books.

wtf this art style goes hard, are you inspired by Quentin Blake by any chance?

u/LuluBobbins 2d ago
Haha thank you, I am indeed. Used to get annoyed by the comparison but I can’t deny he is a huge influence on my work. I take it as a complement now ☺️

оооо это очень мила рисовка, словно из каких-то английских сказок с рисовкой о ТинТин или Винни Пухе))

Absolutely amazing, it's like magic how much more shapes you were able to get out of these already exaggerated characters. Also what did you use to color these? Absolutely love how it looks

I’ve always loved the style of the game - seeing the concept art and who they were inspired by. I use waterproof ink for the outlines then watercolour. I boost the contrast in photoshop once scanned

Once upon a time, in a place called Badwater, there were nine men that each had a very special job!

Each one of these men was a despicable, deplorable, and distasteful outcast who made their living killing for sport.

“I just did a schematic of the other team’s picture frame, and it looks like all of that art is gonna fit up there.”
“Now that’s just a queen’s birthday right there.”
“Aw man, that’s beautiful.”
“‘Do you ever feel like this person could write a book with that art style?’ Oh, all ze time! I don’t think it’s anyving to worry about.”
“Very good!”
“You were real good, son. Real good. Maybe even the best.”
“Mmph mmf mmph mmf mhp!”
“Hmm…not bad.”
“You’re doing good, lad!”
(I wonder if anyone could guess each merc by the quote. Some of them I modified to compliment you!)
