Kind of inspired by @teamfurtress and @ buffalowing_man on twitter! Yes I'm mostly saying that because they are the ones who inspired me to draw furry tf2.
My sketchbook is a mess. Everything is one good sneeze from flying away. ANYWAYS TF2 YAY YIPPEEE!!!
I made them animals because it brings be joy and also I couldn’t get fake lizard Pyro out of my head and that obviously meant he needed a whole team to match.
I’d like to think that reptiles are just normal animals in whatever world this is, so Pyro is fooling nobody and is also extremely scary. Why are you so tall, lizard boy? Stop that.
Also coyote Spy and coydog Scout. These two are very not related as you can clearly tell. Not one bit of resemblance whatsoever no sir.
Pyro was the most obvious to me. I may or may not have chosen my favorite lizard just because they are both very cool and extremely elusive to me. I know nothing about these guys (I could fix this, but I don’t) yet I smile every time I see one. They’re just silly. 5 banded because of the fun coloration!
Coyote Spy and Coydog Scout go hand in hand in terms of choice, here. I wanted a wild-type animal for Spy and some sort of mix for Scout, preferably something that could be written off but is way too coincidental when they’re next to each other lmfao. I really liked the Zorse/Zebra idea but I felt like I couldn’t have that with Mule Soldier.
Sniper is only a Kangaroo because I can’t draw a kea or a kākāpō. I will continue to figure out how to draw a kea and/or a kākāpō and also shape it properly to Snipers long face, so help me god. They’re birds native to New Zealand (Sniper was born in New Zealand), threatened to critically endangered (Sniper is, very technically in TF2, one of the last New Zealanders alive if you think about it), and he stuck out compared to his folks in Australia. Also I think he should have the right to dismantle a car (Keas are very smart :) )
STOAT MEDIC!!!! Or honestly any weasel, ferret, or martin. They are sneaky, intelligent hunters, and generally spook me. That there is a snake with fur and also has managed to take our multiple populations in multiple areas because we keep putting them places. I think a weasel would steal souls.
Bear Heavy.
Mule Soldier! The US Army mascot is a Mule, and considering how military-crazed soldier is I think it was a good fit. Coulda also done a bulldog, but his name is “soldier” not “marine”.
And Demo still needs some work because I am not at all happy with his design! Yippee!
applebees for sugarsuture (daytime version under the cut)
[ID: a cartoony digital drawing of the red pyro from TF2 as an anthro cat. he is wearing a a spiked orange collar, a hood with cat ears, and a cloth mask rather than a gas mask, so his eyes are visible, and the emblem on his sleeve is heart-shaped instead of a circle. he is leaning back slightly to offset the weight of the flamethrower he is holding out in front of him. the background shows a wooden building and a large propane tank in a yellowed grassy field at night, and there are flames edging into frame on the left side, casting a warm light. /end ID]
[ID: the same image as above, but it is daytime rather than night, and there are no flames. /end ID]
