These are some TF2 References that I've made! I've also posted them on Twitter If y'all are interested! I hope this helps you draw the mercs a bit easier, I know it's definitely helped me out!!!
Special thanks to @sharkk1t, @kobr4z, @sillyparad0x, and @poissoncherry for helping with the designs of the rest outside offence team :D
More info below!
This story is Soldier centered and how his character develops from a cold and distant teen to warm and free. Everyone goes to the same school except Soldier who goes to a military academy (forced by his father), he usually sneaks to Demo's school during breaks to see him. Eventually he'll stumble with the rest of Demo's friends and interact with them.
The ones who he'll be passing most of the time are Pyro and Scout (and also Engie who's Pyro's adoptive brother), them teaching him a lot about friendship. Soldier only had Demo, but now he has 7 more.
The fun main part of this story is the "Band Contest", this meaning that they'll go against other bands from their own school. Redmond and Blutarch are part of this story, so in a feud of who is better, they make their winners compete against each other, meaning they'll meet BLU. RED Fortress (Public School) vs BLUBLOOD (Private School).
As mentioned before, this story is Soldier centered, and we will see his life during the academy as well his home life. Dark themes will be mentioned such as Child neglect, abuse, depression, suicide, loss. Soldier doesn't have an easy life, he's been training his whole life ever since his mother died at age 6. His father being a commander, meaning he has power, and this is what the story mostly goes around.
There will be ships, Helmet Party being the main one, but there will be other ships included the BLUs !! My friends may post things about that, just saying 👀
As a treat for reading all of this, have an old concept from May 2025.
