Some drawings but they get less TF2 related as they go down…

I had a dream that the mercenaries worked at a magic school. This is what I remember the Blu Spy looking like… More art underneath!!

Jesper (white cowboy hat) and the chestnut-colored horse belongs to @medicalmaladiess !!! Barnaby and Jesper are our TF2 OCs. :3

I rewatched Megamind earlier and forgot how fun and silly it is, so I made some doodles. :]

I was thinking about Barnaby using the phrase 'thinking cap', and this is what came to me. He is, in fact, always thinking.

Would you mind if I have your Dinotopia OC in a fanfic? I would credit you in the description.

I am honestly SO honored that you'd even ask that! I'm SO glad that Barnaby is getting some love and that Dinotopia is getting the love! Of course you have permission to use him. As long as you don't do anything bad or problematic with him you're welcome to add him to your fanfic :)

I am officially open for commissions!!! First time actually going public with one of these…

Payment is upfront or after I’ve provided a sketch that you’re satisfied with. Please let me know if there are any changes you want before I begin to line the sketch!! I will keep you updated on delays and estimated time until the work is finished. If I am unable to finish the commission you will receive a full refund!🫡

I may be working on 3 commissions at a time!

Complex backgrounds are landscapes, interiors, and other detailed scenes. Simple shapes and gradient backgrounds are not complex and are free!

Commissioners are not to use any commissioned art piece commercially or for monetary gain. The art is for personal use only.

Please ask me any questions!!! I’m willing to negotiate or clear things up! DM me here on Tumblr if you’re interested! I’ll reply when I’m ready to get started on your commission. :]

Special shout-out to @medicalmaladiess for letting me use his Medic Sona and OC for the examples!! 💖🫶 Hai I love you :3

I thought I'd better design Melissa's and Frederick's other parents, so I've done these family portrait-style pictures. I chose to do it in greyscale to mimic a black and white photograph.

Melissa's mother is called Helen (Melissa has it as a middle name). I decided that since Barnaby doesn't have Melissa's distinctive hairline, it must have come from her mother. Helen loved sewing, particularly embroidery, and she made all of Melissa's baby clothes herself.

Frederick's father is named Alfred Hunter (so that's also Frederick's surname). He was a wealthy and successful businessman, and very well respected.

I wanted the two pictures to contrast each other, with Barnaby and Helen embracing and focusing on their child, while Klaudia and Alfred look outwards, making a distinguished pose for the camera. In particular, I wanted Klaudia to look as if she's holding Frederick up like a trophy. "That's right, I made this awesome baby!"

Parents and their different philosophies. While Barnaby appreciates that Melissa is studious, he wants her to have more fun (and make friends). Klaudia, on the other hand, is one of those 'hustle 24/7, the grind never stops' girlboss types. As is often true with Klaudia, she has a point, but needs to dial it back. And she does, somewhat. While Barnaby is still around...

[thesquiddlesquad]

Barnaby experiences the consequences of buying Melissa a sword. She's nerding out about knighthood, and there's no one she'd rather pledge her loyalty to than her dear old dad.

Melissa's info-dump is paraphrased from this website.

There's a follow-up to this but I'm saving it for later.

Finally I've finished the more serious take on Melissa's love of the Sherlock Holmes stories (after doing the comedic version). The colours don't look as good on the scan as they do in real life, but I don't know what I can do about it.

Reading Sherlock Holmes together was one of Melissa and her father's favourite things to do, and after Barnaby died, the stories were something Melissa found comfort in. Until Sherlock Holmes was killed off. That was like one more straw on the camel's back.

Holmes being resurrected later on was bittersweet for Melissa - she was happy to have more of her favourite stories, but it stung a bit to see how easily fictional death could be undone, when the real thing never could.
