Feathery friend
Partially inspired by all of the mdsc fanfiction i've read lately ahaha //// pay no mind to it ....
waves waves !! Long time no post from me , i was going to share this alongside a couple other sketches which i've accumulated over time but thought i'd give this scrawl it's own post instead . I've been quietly working on several larger drawings and don't really know when they'll be finished , so have something a little rougher while i get them done .. !
since sniper's parents and their farm are in the literal middle of nowhere and are based of courage the cowardly dog I like to believe some crazy shit happened (call it OVNIS, cryptids, ghosts, etc).
at first he was terrified, I mean, he was a kid (and even if he wasn't if I was alone in the middle of nowhere, at night, taking care of a farm and I saw the glowing eyes of a tall figure staring directly at me I would shit myself in the best case scenario), but from time to time, he got more used to it, specially since his parents seem surprisingly used to those weird events and how to deal with them.
that's why in the description of the cards is written "half alien observer"; sniper's a sucker for conspiracy theories/paranormal stories, mainly because he has experienced some weird shit he cannot explain even after trying to find the most logical explanation - validation maybe.
demo is more vocal about his stories (because he seems to be a magnet to these ocurrences too, even more than the aussie) while sniper speaks about if he's closer to the person he's speaking to, and when they hang out they talk about them.
Based on this Frankenstein strip I saw on tumblr (under the cut) but I couldn't find where or when it was originally from
I also meant to draw this for halloween but LOL - it's a lil late
The Scout RED v. BLU sketch pages were fun, I might keep doing that until I run out of steam. Take some Snipers.
Like the Scout ones, some brief related headcanons below.
RED:
-Likes bugs a lot. Will go out of his way to pick up and play with even the 'ugliest' or most dangerous ones. Fond of roaches and beetles. If he could wake up tomorrow and be a beetle, he'd finally be content with life.
-Smokes, both tobacco and weed. He tries to not smoke too much weed though, because if he smells like it he would be easy to track down during battle. Tobacco really helps his nerves and paranoid thinking.
-Sewed animal teeth onto his own hat. He likes his hat a lot, it was a gift from his father. Hunting also reminds him of spending time with his dad & mum, and he likes to go hunt birds to cook, or to go fishing to pass the time off work.
-Enjoys a GNC look sometimes. Considers himself a bit of a girl too, but doesn't really know how to express that to the people around him. "I'm probably nonbinary but I've got a job so idrc about that rn."
-Pierced his ears himself. Has longer, unruly hair that he contains with ponytails and braids. Is very tan because of spending so much of his time outside. Generally dresses in darker clothes during work, as it makes him feel like he blends into the shadows (even though it really makes him stand out a bit more). Always has a slight smile, like he's making fun of you in his head.
-Rarely seen without a weapon of some sort on his person. Also pretty much never seen without his sunglasses on.
BLU:
-Peeked through the brain-scooping-induced veil once and realized he had the same face as someone on the other team. So they scooped his brain even more til it got muddled up. Now he gets frequent, intense migraines and struggles with his balance, and with limb control on his left side. It mostly affects his legs, meaning he can still snipe with good accuracy. He sometimes uses a cane if he feels particularly weak that day.
-Hates his face but can't remember why without his head pounding. He can barely even see it, it feels like. Like a big pixelated mass where it should be. So he covers it a lot, especially during battles and missions.
-Hats make him feel more anonymous. Ranges from very cool ones to the dorkiest bucket hats you've ever seen.
-Likes fishing and nature walks to look for birds. Also goes hunting in the tundra around the BLU base pretty much daily. It's good stress relief.
-Plays guitar, pretty decently too. Also good for stress relief.
-Uses a bow and arrows about as much as he uses his rifle. He hand carves his arrows, wood carving is a very satisfying hobby for him.
-Always seems a little pallid and grey in the face. Especially compared to the deep tan RED Sniper has.
-Cuts or shaves down his hair regularly, only lets it grow back a little. Clean-shaven unless he's doing terribly that week. Has a couple scars that stick around even after respawning. Wears bracelets and necklaces often, though less so during work. Only smiles when he's alone, and in general behaves coldly towards his team.
-Doesn't smoke or drink. Hates the feeling of an altered consciousness.
-Paid his own money for a gun he thought looked better. He's getting tired of being on the losing team all the time.
