The mercs and cute semi-aquatic creatures :)
[left to right: otter, muskrat, seal, tapir, beaver, capybara, puffin, platypus, mink, pygmy hippo]
I only plan for semiaquatic mammals, but i couldnt find one that fits medic, so he gets a bird
Scout: Otters are sleek, fast and cool
Soldier: I want something similar to raccoons. Muskrats are also native to north AMERICA!
Pyro: I think he would like seals. They are round and look huggable
Demo: Tapir in japanese folklore are said to eat nightmares. For someone who passes out a lot, i think it's a good fit.
Engineer: Beavers can build
Heavy: Capybara is square-shaped and chill
Medic: I think he would like any types of aquatic birds. I pick puffins cause they are cool! Fly, swim, dive, burrow, they can do anything!
Sniper: Pretty predictable lol. Platypuses are australia native
Spy: Mink. Small yet a deadly hunter
Once again, did some fanart of @lenny-link TF2 x SU AU, but tried making more fusions! :]
First one is Andalusite [Heavy + Medic] (who I've drawn before already), second one is Iolite [Cheavy + Medic], and the third one is Ametrine [Demoman + Soldier].
[Below the keep reading line, I'll show off the fourth fusion I drew as well, but ended up just-- disliking to hell and back o(-( Also, some notes and such about each fusion]
First off, here's the fourth fusion I did, which was Cat's Eye Tourmaline [Scout + Sniper]. (Side note: I picked out Tiger's Eye as Sniper's gem)
After looking at Steven's fusions with other gems (since Scout's a half-human half-gem in this AU fusing with Sniper who's a full gem), I did notice that basically all of them (besides Obsidian) had some kind of oddity to them. Like Smokey Quartz has three arms instead of four or just two, Rainbow 2.0 is the first gem with male pronouns and has a tad bit strange legs, and Sunstone isn't as humanoid as the other (non-corrupted) gems and fusions.
So I wanted to show that off here, but uh, I just ended up giving up on it in the end o(-( Mostly 'cause I had no clue how I wanted to color them based on the Cat's Eye Tourmaline gem, but also 'cause the overall design ended up leaned a bit more towards Sniper's design than I intended it to do.
Anyways, onto the notes for the other fusions.
Andalusite [Heavy + Medic]:
The duo that imo would probably fuse the most out of the TF2 crew, whether for battle or to just relax together (like reading a book or whatever). So with that, Heavy and Medic would have had plenty of time to refine how their fusion would look like, and making sure both of them like how they look together.
For their fusion weapon, I was thinking about them either having something like Garnet's upgraded gauntlets (the ones with spikes jutting out of it's knuckles), or letting the gauntlets have claws or something.
Iolite [Cheavy + Medic]:
I mostly did this one 'cause of one of the drawings in Lenny-Link's original piece, which made me thinking of Lapis and Jasper fusing into Malachite and all that, which lead me to this. I wanted the design to 1. Make it look chaotic due to the two people that are fused here, but also 2. Make it lean a tad more towards Cheavy's looks to make said guy think that he's the one mostly in control of the fusion, only to have Medic take over take over and do something to trap the fusion and/or get them the hell away from the TF2 crew. Something something angst idk lol
Decided to make Cheavy a [blue] Topaz. Since Heavy's a Topaz as well. I don't have any other reason than that :') Also, I placed his gem on the side of his right shoulder.
The eye goggles change color depending on who is in control. If the two weren't fighting for it, it would be one eye blue and one eye magenta. But since they are, whenever Cheavy's in control, the eyes are blue. And whenever Medic's in control, the eyes are magenta.
Ametrine [Demoman + Soldier]:
Originally, I was going to have them be a Morganite, but decided on Ametrine instead as it fit their color scheme more. Also originally, I was going to give them a knight helmet, but I wanted to draw their hair, so I instead gave them a bandana covering their possibly one eye. Possibly.
Assuming Soldier's helmet (with or without the horns) is Soldier's gem weapon like Jasper's helmet, I thought it would be neat if their fusion weapon [(horned) helmet + sword] would be something like a Morningstar, which they would be able to duel-wield without much trouble.
I've got other lil' ideas as well for this AU, like how Jeremy/Scout was the one that gave these gems their nicknames (Spy, Sniper, Engineer, etc.), how Medic grew a fascination for the organic lifeforms of Earth and how exactly they healed/was able to treat their wounds, and how- instead of Spy being all dead and gone Rose Quartz style when Jeremy was born- Spy is a lot weaker than he should be due Jeremy getting half of his gem. But uh-- I don't wanna go too overboard when this ain't even my AU :')
Either way, I'll probably go and relax a bit before drawing some regular TF2 stuff. But I might do some more fanart for this AU whenever I feel up for it. 'Cause genuinely, I love this AU sm <3
Holy sh-t those designs are genius,, i already had in mind some fusion designs but these surpasses all my expectations !!!! (โงโโง)
Especially Ametrine [Demoman + Soldier] its my absolute favorite!!! <3
You really took time to work on all these designs , not a single detail left, from Scout being half-human so the fusions looks a bit odd, to the Lolite [Cheavy + Medic] fusion leaning more into Cheavy because he would try to be in control and the color of goggles concept is SO COOL!!! HeavyMedic being very comfortable in their fusion its just beautiful!!
I love the idea of Jeremy actually giving them their nicknames (Sniper, Spy, Engineerโฆ) when they would form the "Crystal gem team" maybe idk i didnt think much about this part tbh
And i agree with the idea of Medic being fascinated by how human "heal" or get sick and such, maybe learn and experiment to find "magical" cures on humans as well idk
Also agree for the Spy one! He did not die for Scout to be alive, they do not share the same gem, but in order for Jeremy to be born he did maybeee with some idk gem magic โจ give part of his power to make Jeremy yknow born/alive
Also the reason why "Spy was absent during Scoutโs life" was because he was trapped in a mirror for like 25 years (i personally always hc that Scout is 25) why was Spy trapped in a mirror idk i didnt think about all the details yet lol :P but Scout would definitely be the one to save him from that mirror thing like Steven and Lapis
ALSO PLEASE DONT STOP IM LOVE ALL YOUR IDEAS/DESIGNS OP YOU GOT A BRILLIANT BRAIN BRILLIANT !!!!
fr im glad you enjoy this silly au this much thank you soooo much for your wonderful amazing contributions ill save them forever (ยดยฐฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฯยฐฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅฬฅ๏ฝ)

I really like the Burly Beast flair that's coming from @gracefireheart's Red Oktoberfest's gem fusion.
I bet he gets a lot of silly thoughts and starts giggling out of nowhere (It's medic coming up with a funny idea and telling heavy about it). He probably high-fives himself after doing something cool. King of self love, ultimate being, 10/10.
Oh and his rancid counterpart.
Hhhh I see something that has 4 human arms and I'm ๐๐๐
Drawing in this style is a bit hard for me. Everyone ends up looking too young.
Wait in the SU AU is Sniper a pearl? Like I feel like he's a pearl and he's yellow- And Saxtons a diamond and yellow. Coincidence ๐ Or I should go back to bed
no you are on the right track anon :] hereโs Pearl!Sniperโs backstory and some lore of the AU :3
to be continuedโฆ
if youโre wondering whoโs RED pearl, well if you read the tf2 comic "Loose canon" we can see Blutarchโs assistant, thats her. yes i know sheโs Blu but i had already put Bidwell as Blu pearl and we never saw Redmondโs assistant so i put her instead :p
and yes Gray Diamond doesnโt have a pearl, did he shatter it? did he not deserve one bc he was the smallest and weakest of the Diamonds? idk :p weโll figure it out later maybe lol
More of my TF2 ร Gravity Falls crossover because the idea of Stan interacting with the mercs and slowly being accepted into their found family has been EATING away at my brain!!
Rambles:
- I already said this but Stanley's basically hired as the grunt/muscle for Miss Pauling. He helps her out with her missions sometimes and the clean-up that comes after, or just delivers supplies and packages to the mercs :]
- I accidentally made him look a lot older than 19 in my drawings, so he's kinda in the same category as Sniper in the "looks-way-older-than-his-actual-age" department.
- Scout is so happy he's no longer the youngest in the team, and since the nickname "little man" is already taken, Heavy just calls Stanley "child", and Scout teases him about it RELENTLESSLY.
- Stanley has to work with both the RED and BLU team, and is forced to listen to ALL cross-factional the drama, because both teams have somehow dragged him into being their unofficial therapist without his prior knowledge.
