TF2 Scout in Toriyama style

Hello again! Sorry for the lack of posts over the past few months, I've been busier and busier at work.

Had some time to draw again today since I'm off work sick so I had to find some way to occupy myself and also keep busy in this awful heatwave that's over here (the UK) at the moment.

So I started a small drawing project I proposed in the discord server a while back- that I would try to draw the TF2 mercs in Toriyama's style. It made me really sad to hear of his passing a few months back because his Dragon Quest games were one of my favourite series growing up (IX was my favourite). It was a fun challenge and I'll try and get through all the mercs if I can. This is just a quick sketch of Scout to try and get the hang of the style initially (and also quick because the heat outside is making me expire…)

Hope you're all doing well, and feel free to ask to join the discord server anytime (we've been doing weekly Stardew Valley and TF2 games lately which have been really fun).🧡

All best, Athene 💜

This made me smile. Hope you like.😊

Aww now that makes me smile. The facts are true!

FYI, I can take asks on this blog, and also over on my main blog Athene Art- athene-art (see the pinned post on this blog for a link to it).🎨

They can be general questions about my art and OCs, fandom related questions, just conversation, or occasionally doodle requests (only SFW tho)- I'll be happy to answer all and any of them. 😊

See you next year, Scream Fortress! 🖤

I adored all the new TF2 maps and gaming on the server with everyone, it was really fun and I can't wait until the next round of games for Smissmas (and other games in the meantime of course).

Might do another poll for more merc portraits, but this time they will be winter loadouts! ❄️

Happy Halloween everyone!! 🦇 Here are the finished paintings I did after the polls you all did on Instagram and here asked me to paint my Engie and Pyro Scream Fortress loadouts.

Hope you all have a lovely spooky day. We'll be gaming this evening on the Discord server so I'm looking forward to some spoopy games! ☠️

My Pyro cosmetics are: the Crispy Golden Locks, the Arachno-Arsonist and the Haunted External Organ.

My Engie cosmetics are: the Cabinet Mann, the Prize Plushy, and the Haunted Iron Fist.

Bit of a contrast I know but I just felt like drawing both Wammawink and the Crow Mauler at the same time yesterday while watching The Good Place

He is complete! 💙🖤💙

As soon as I saw the new Valve art, I knew I had to draw spy in that killer dress.

I based it on the official art along with this stock photo (below). You can see my progress pictures on my IG story, page, and further down on this blog. He was extremely fun to draw, been ages since I've drawn a full head-toe humanoid character portrait.

Media used: Faber-Castell Pitt artist pen wallet (I used the 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7 nibs), Derwent Academy graphite sketching pencils (I used 2B), and Faber-Castell dust free art eraser (green), Daler Rowney Aquafine watercolour paint brushes (Round 1, Round 4, Flat Shader 6), Daler Rowney Aquafine watercolour paper cold pressed NOT A3, WHSmith 24 watercolour pencils, Derwent Watercolour pencils.
