Esbee/Agent S.B. my Neon Cloak and Dagger Cuckoo Bee hybrid BLU Spy OC
Esbee is the Spy to my Sniper, Mr. Munbee. They are from the same team, and is the Spy Mr. Munbee has a fat crush on. He is a Neon Cuckoo Bee, a type of Cloak and Dagger Bee, and the kleptoparasitic bee of the Australian Blue Banded Bee. I am just going to refer to him as a Neon Cloak and Dagger Cuckoo Bee in full because it sounds cooler, and fits Spy's whole "cloak and dagger" thing. Cloak and Dagger, and Cuckoo, are interchangable, but Cuckoo is more commonly used to my understanding.
Extra info, bee pics, etc... β¬οΈ
Esbee is just a short play on/pun of the words espionage and bee
INFO:
- Having experienced the horrors of being held captive as a severed head in RED Medic's fridge for a time, Esbee learned to avoid the man at all cost. However, RED Medic wanted a test subject to replicate Mr. Munbee's transformation on. Esbee ended up being that test subject (poor man can't catch a break). This also lead to Esbee being blackmailed into becoming a secret/double agent for RED.
- He detests his new form, going as far as having his extra arms permanently removed, and having everything below his knees replaced with more normal looking body parts that BLU Medic had lying around. He attempted to remove his antenna and bee abdomen, only to find that was excruciating, disorienting, and kinda deadly, so he prefers to hide them with his disguise kit and outfit instead (tucking his antenna often gives him a headache) He did find his wings to be at least somewhat useful and tolerable.
- Despite talks between Saxton and Blutarch, Esbee remained contracted, proving to still be a useful mercenary to BLU.
- RED Medic specifically choose the DNA of the Neon Cloak and Dagger Cuckoo Bee because he learned it was a parasitic "enemy" of the Australian Blue Banded Bee, and wanted to see what kinda chaos would ensue.
- He was aware that his Sniper, Mr. Munsen, even before the transformation, had a crush on him (no matter how secretive Mr. Munsen once was, he is still a great spy after all). He found his original personality very abrasive and unappealing, and did not reciprocate his feelings at all. However, things are different now that Mr. Munbee is practically a whole new person, and he struggles to adapt to his colleagues new personality, especially his kindness and support after his own forced transformation.

Mr. Munbee, my Australian Blue Banded Bee hybrid BLU Sniper OC
Close ups, extra info, text from the work, bee pics, etc... β¬οΈ
Mr. Munbee's original full name is Shelby Munsen, before he changed it to an alias. Munbee is just (Mun)sen Shel(by β‘οΈ bee) (his name is also a play on OG Sniper's canonical name and last name, Mun-Dee Mundy/ Mr. Mundy)
You guys have no idea how long it's taken me to get part 1 and 2 of this character sheet done, but it was LONG overdue. There is around a 2 year separation between them π literally my water marked had changed in that time too.
I love him dearly, too bad I dont have boundless energy to make lots more art of him (mild burnout and rotating interests). It's truly a tragedy π₯² Mr. Munbee is officially around 6 years old now, with his first drawing dating back to sometime in 2020, shortly after I got into TF2 in late 2019!
The text in the work and pics of the bee species below β¬οΈ
INFO:
- Once the BLU Sniper, after a freak accident involving a teleporter malfunction, and a local bee, he was left mutated. A now man-bee hybrid.
- He would have died due to the rapid instability and decay of his DNA without the intervention of his Engineer and Medic (think The Fly (1986), but with a happy ending).
- He was a competitive and cruel man working for BLU, but after his freak transformation, he mellowed out, becoming more passive/hippie like.
- Saxton and Blutarch had to re-evaluate his contract, and was subsequently let go by BLU. He was re-employed by Saxton/mann co. as a supplier of honey and honey based alcohol. Though, he still hangs around his OG team.

A scene redraw, some personal HCs, as well as canon and fanon stuff. I just really love Kallus.
Close ups and my thoughts below β¬οΈ
Once his motivation, Now a reminder of his guilt and shame
I've been thinking lately about what Kallus might have experienced during that early traumatic mission he briefly talks about with Zeb. We never see him with his shirt off, so perhaps he is concealing a brutal back scar.
The scar is of the blast that took out his team, and likely burned him horribly, leaving him paralyzed. Followed by a deep laceration from Saw Gerrera's Lasat mercenary, as he taunted/tortured Kallus while he was unable to fight back. Followed by a spinal correctional surgery scar. I had this thought that he purposefully let the injury scar, rather than being healed by bacta or such. The whole experience left him broken and traumatized, and he wanted a motivation to move forward, a reminder, but all it did was drive him to do heinous stuff. He acknowledges this after he learns from Zeb and becomes Fulcrum, and then felt immense guilt and shame over it. Opting to hide it, at least until Zeb see's it, perhaps by accident. This leads to an emotional and hard conversation between the two, as Kallus tells the full story of what happened that day. Kallus regrets ever letting that event drive him to do the horrible things he did, especially to the Lasat, and to Zeb. He doesn't feel he deserves forgiveness, but he will never stop trying to be a better person, for those around him, and especially Zeb.
(It's hard to see, but Kallus is crying here)
Retired Kallus
Writing his memoir, Honor Lost on Lasan: Serving the Empire, Fighting for the Alliance, as referenced in the Star Wars book, The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire. Kallus Gardening on Lira San, as suggested by Steve Blum. Kallus taking care of a Lasat child (maybe the child is adopted, or actually biologically Zeb's, or maybe they're also biologically Kallus's, who's to say), also as suggested by Steve Blum. You know how kittens have needle like claws? Well, I think Lasat babies likely also have very sharp claws, but Kallus powers through the pain with limitless unconditional love and joy (and medical patches).
Trans Kallus
Assume if I ever draw Kallus, unless shown otherwise, that he is a trans man in my art. (As a Transmasc individual, I like to project onto Kallus. I love him, and he gives me gender envy.)
Honestly, Kallus wasn't beat up enough in those scenes right before he is saved by the rebellion. I need him more bruised, disheveled, and with a bloody nose.

@hayesflint
It's been a while π the last few months have been r o u g h for me π₯² so it ended up taking me much longer to finish this piece than expected. Plus wanting to fully render it and write dialogue made it take even longer. Please, check out the details up close if you can, I gave it a lot of texture! (I hope Tumblr doesn't eat the details/textures) I still plan to do more prompts because it's fun!
Below is the black and white variant with suggestive dialogue, as well as a blank black and white variant ~
Writing this dialogue was a struggle, and i'm still not fully satisfied with it. I'm sure this is also not a proper speech bubble structure π if it's too tricky to read, I also put the dialogue down below.
I decided to draw Zeb with blunt toenails because that's what his live action design and vintage series figure have. His series model and concept art are too vague with details, but they still look blunt. YET his Black Series figure is the only official thing I've found so far that gave him clawed feet. Oh Zeb, you and your funky inconsistent gecko like feet, it doesn't help that this angle/pose makes it look awkward too π I probably should have gone with the claws instead.
I actually feel like Zeb turned out way better than Kallus did in this piece, though I also struggled drawing Kallus looking slightly up in that headlock. I love Kallus very much, but I think I like drawing Zeb more.
The Dialogue:
Zeb:
Heh. I think that makes 3/5 wins for me, but it sure feels like you're enjoying this more than me, Kal.
Kallus:
I wonder why? Perhaps it's because of this intimate pose you've trapped me in.
Zeb:
You love it when I'm rough with you though.
Kallus:
I do. But did you also have to shred my clothes? If you wanted them off, you could've just asked.
Zeb:
Pfft. Where's the fun in that? Plus, you loved it!
Kallus:
I did. But the fun is NOT Having to explain why my outfit is in tatters on the way back to my room.
Zeb:
Well, then... Wanna have another sparring match back on the Ghost? Hera and the others are currently out. We'd be alone~
Kallus:
Yes, please~ but you owe me a new pair of pants, shirt, and a bottle of Corellian wine.
My 2025 secret santa for a discord we're both in, and it was a pleasure to make this one! Drawing Levian was a lot of fun! I'm especially proud of the background and textures throughout the piece!
NO AI, NO THEFT, NO TRACING, NO REPOSTING, you do not have my permission. Ever. Period. Have a nice day.
Day 1 was mostly me getting a feel for drawing the characters, but day 3 I feel I really popped off with! I'm very happy with how this one turned out!
Just a cute aftercare scene where they are goofing off together! π
I was actually inspired by a close friend's cat who will lick you impulsively and persistently while you pet/scratch him in certain spots, which had me thinking, what if Zeb did something similar. I was also inspired by 2 art pieces by Sempaiko, where Zeb is licking Kallus. I'd like to think Kallus actually finds being licked by Zeb charming, silly, and maybe even enjoyable. While Zeb enjoys having his ears and back scratched by Kallus.
Day 1: Hair pulling + Fulcrum era
@hayesflint
This is my first time drawing Kallus and Zeb! I know its super late for the Kalluzebtober 2025 prompt list, but I struggle to make posts about my art. It's also been a rough month for me, but I love these guys so much, and drawing them too!
This one ended up turning into a mini comic because I had this stupid idea, and it was partially inspired by a fanfic I was listening to while drawing, and also a few previous ones I've read. This comic is meant to be goofy, and not serious. I just feel like in some fanfics I've read kallus would have been caught by thrawn doing some of the stuff he does. π Enjoyable fanfics regardless!
Also, to my current followers, I promise i'm still into TF2 and have TF2 art I'm still working on, i'm just taking a lil' break to indulge in another hyperfixation I have. Helps with my art flow.
I painted a mini Kallus pumpkin at a friend's Halloween party yesterday, and added the fulcrum symbol on the back too! He turned out better and cuter than I thought he would β¨
I just wish I had time, and another pumpkin, to have made a mini Zeb pumpkin to go with him.
Double Agent (very late) Secret Santa gift for @ncalabby
I wanted to pay Cabbage back for the amazing gift he made for me (I was not always her gifter, but I stepped up after the other person dropped out, it just happened to work out that way), and also give him something to show my appreciation for how much work she puts into his own stuff, and all the art she's given to the TF2 fandom!
πβ¨πβ¨
Despite it taking me forever to make, I had a lot of fun making this, and i'm really happy with how it turned out!
My first time recording my process + song inspiration below β¬οΈ
The car in the piece is a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 ConvertibleΒ [6267F] from the Modern Talking song, Geronimo's Cadillac, from 1986
(which I got the idea from Cabbage, because he once made a post associating the song with the ship, Double Agent)
I wanted to make a collage of my favorite Star Wars character, Alexsandr Kallus. This is legit every appearance of him from that very short Rebels "webcomic"/manga. Has anyone actually read that manga, even tho its primarily a condensed down retelling of the first season? I learned about it when I found a volume at a big fandom merch flea market/resale place, and it's honestly got a really nice art style!
I just love how he is drawn in this manga, and sometimes given such goofy expressions.
Finally! My most recent work! A secret santa I finished last December for @crow0artzz in a discord server we're in! It was an immense pleasure to make this piece for you! πβ¨
Extras below β¬οΈ I also have more to say on this piece!
Regular dove version (the one above is the bloody dove version)
no color version
I'm extremely proud of this piece! πβ¨ I added a few Jurassic Park references, and based the Utahraptor's colors on Medic and his doves. I was presented 3 options, 2 of which were Medic or a Utahraptor. I love TF2 and Dinos, so rather than do just 1, I just had to combine the 2!
Of course this megalomaniac, self proclaimed god, would revive a dinosaur, Jurassic Park style, and ride it into battle, and you cannot convince me otherwise! π

This was my first time using SFM back in early 2024
I was playing around with the program to get a feel for it, while also trying to make a reference I needed for another piece. I ultimately didn't make a ref I could use, but settled on turning what I had into a cute SFM poster.
Just some wholesome Sniper x Spy embracing in the woods in peace. Well, mostly in peace, considering Archimedes and another dove are eavesdropping.

Days 3 and 14 + sorta 21 (Unnecessarily complex fit and Candy gore + sorta 100% Saturation)
Days 2 and 10 (Self insert and Fursona)
Day 1 is of Spy sorta magical girl transforming, but is he BLU Spy turning into RED Spy, or RED Spy turning into BLU Spy?
Day 6 is just Neko Sniper, and he is loosely inspired by Havana Brown and Abyssinian cats (brown cats).
Day 3 is inspired by Quazies's BLU soldier from the Pootis series, and he is wearing every single hat I could see in his messy room.
Day 14 + sorta 21 is just an intimidating Pyro splattered in blo- ahem! Uh, colorful paint.
Day 2 is of my TF2 oc Trapper, tho I wasn't a 100% satisfied with the outcome here, but I did rush all these works to attempt to keep up with the daily prompts at the time. Trapper just looks off model unfortunately, especially their face to me (tho, I really need to get around to making a proper Trapper character sheet). Also, RED Trapper really shouldn't pose for a pic in front of the BLU Teufort base.
Day 10 is of my very simple fursona, Bunny (I know I've stated this before, but yeah, I know, not a creative name, but he is based on a childhood green rabbit plush I named Bunny).

I love drawing Sniper so much, and this might be my best and favorite Sniper piece I've made so far! Lots of textures and detail, which people will finally be able to see better here on Tumblr, unlike on Instagram (a problem that plagued all my textured works). I love drawing him with slicked back, slightly longer, scruffy looking hair, with the occasional fly aways that stick out.

Two Mercs Dancing: Encore (2023)
The piece above was a redraw of the piece below, which was my first CSP art piece (2 year gap between the two), back when I hardly knew how to use CSP, and my art style was much rougher. I've come a long way, and I'm so proud of myself! It's currently my best and favorite Sniper x Spy work I've made so far! πβ€οΈ
Two Mercs Dancing (2021)
The reference I used is from my favorite Queer photographer, Robert Mapplethorpe! I studied his work a lot in college, and honestly, if any of you haven't seen his work, I recommend y'all check it out! (But be weary! Some of his work is VERY 18+)
Two Men Dancing (1984), by Robert Mapplethorpe
I love cross-faction TF2 ships, especially RED Sniper x BLU Spy. Two mercs hired to kill each other, but catch feelings for their enemy, then subsequently having to keep their love a secret. I love them either overcoming or succumbing to the challenges of loving their enemy, leading to either one or both of them being put in danger, or them fighting and/or running away to stay together, etc... These two have such an engaging and varied dynamic in my opinion. So much fanfic and fanart brings unique perspectives and ideas to the ship! Enemies to lovers is my absolute fav, and this is definitely one of my favorite ships!

Support Class Pinups
Spy, Medic, and Sniper
CW: Sexy semi-nude men ahead (no actual nudity)
The lineart versions
Extra blood splatter and no glasses versions of Medic
the book with the references from it that I used for the pinups
(I got the book from a thrift store, and it has plenty of great poses and such in it that I may use again for future pieces)
Spy's look here is inspired by other's interpretations of his unmasked look, with my own addition. I love the idea of him having a tattoo or a few he keeps well hidden, and lots of scars, just like Sniper (and while Sniper doesn't have any here, I adore tatted Sniper as well!)
These were helpful in me starting to alter my style a bit, and get comfortable using new techniques and tools on CSP, much like the comic redraws that came before. there are a few things I would change in them now after a year, but i'm also still proud of them in the end.
