[friendlyengie]

Hey! Hey you! You like a clown don’t you?

Of course you do. You’ve got good taste. Which is why YOU should vote for my friend the Decoy in the upcoming tf2 oc tournament! (@tf2occontest )

Hes a clown! Hes fat! Hes transgender and in his mid 40s! He gets paid to be annoying and he is running At You with a comically large mallet! Wont you love a weird freak?

Heres some old posts about Armani if you want to know more about why this guy is sooo awesome and cool! Discontinued Contest propaganda. / Discontinued Contest propaganda 2! / I just think this one looks cool (Body horror cw) / Ft. canon mercs. / Ft. canon mercs 2!

Redesign is done!

I like that he’s got more stars and he’s more hippie now, even though he’s from the feature (3087) he’s super inspired by Tom Jones and Hippies

"Well, I may not have made it, but I hope you keep going through these brackets, Chemist. Maybe next time I'll have a better chance."

"For sure! It was great to meet you though!"

"Heh..."

{Assassin may have lost her round in the @tf2occontest, but she hopes @meet-the-redchemist keeps going through the voting! this was originally going to be just a bit of art for Chemist, but her mun made it a collab ^u^}

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT

Poor Miss Pauling has been utterly overrun by wayward mercenary applications! We at Team Fortress Industries are pleased to announce a new contest for all of YOU original and creative people to thin the flock, prove YOUR worth to the battlefield and this company, and determine who amongst YOU is the best of the best*

This is a contest where you are encouraged to create, share, and fight to the death for the sake of your most prized character! Make art and writing for propaganda, tell us all about them, and face off against one another in a series of randomized polls narrowing down who will win the TF2 OC Contest of 2024!

A pinned post with all of the rules and the submission form for this contest will be following shortly. Be sure to follow this blog for more updates!

*(Not an actual indicator of who is the "best" -- this is meant to be a fun, low-stakes, community driven event.)

Howdy ! You like strange middle-aged men with homicidal habits yeah? Of course you do you’re on tumblr.

He’s Italian, he’s short, he jumps off of cliffs for fun. And YOU get the chance to see him be all this and more by voting for everybody’s favorite merc, The Glider, in the @tf2occontest ! if you don’t vote for him I’ll draw him in the uncle grandpa cancellation pose

Want more of him? Of course you do! Ask him your most burning questions, share your darkest secrets, make fun of his facial hair, and we’ll get back to you with a shot of this wonderful mug asap!

can’t wait? Explore his (mostly empty) toyhouse page! I’ll work on it promise 👍

SEE YOU ALL ON THE FRONTLINES

[meet-the-net]

Hey uh can this guy just be normal, actually?

thx to @bohemianette for the request on my last memeification ^.^

bases under the cut:

[cyantt-does-stuff]

He's ruthless when it comes to combat. Take a normal Scout's abilities and multiply them by at least three. Faster, stronger, more durable. Not to say he can't be slowed down at all. You just... have to be fast enough to find a weakness.

[ask-little-agatha]

Who are each of your favorite team members?

Ágatha: "Medic, my uncle! Meu tio! He is always showing me some cool experiment or teaching me about how to fight or do surgerys or everthing! I wanna be like him when i grow up!... Heavy also let's me touch Sasha! He says that I remember him of his sisters, I want to meet them one day. Demoman helps me to do explosive pranks! And when he is not drunk he is the one who best helps me doing my hair - don't let Medic know that -. Me and Pyro have the best tea partys ever! he has a huuuge colection of unicorn toys!"

Makoto: "Spy is super intelligent and sophisticated! He said once that i have future as a spy! (...and that i needed to stop screaming when i am running away from someone with the invisible coat). Sniper and I talk about the types of guns he uses, some are the same as my mom have, he says that i am a good kiddo."

Haru: "Our paths crossed upon many years ago, we would work together in many ocasions... Me and Spy were, and still are, very good friends. I only meet Scout after I came to work on BLU, I do enjoy his young energy! It reminds me of my younger cousings."

Lilian: "Even trought i stay in office doing papework less than my other colleagues, i do haaaate doing it. So Rusty is like a little angel taking me to outside were we can really have fun!" [Rusty was made by @friendlyengie ]

Cordelia did had her favorites, but this was a long time ago... [Left to right we have Chaya, before transition, by @queensqueercourt, Classic Medic, Brutus by @sicc-nasti and Ben by @mickmundane ]

[Anon i assumed you were asking for everyone, hope you enjoy! :D Remember specify wich characters yall are asking to!]

[friendlyengie]

Here’s some game-specific art for the decoys :—]! Class info and their respective default weapon loadouts! I was not able to name all of their fun items I hope you will forgive me.

[cheesefri]

I wanted to try and render Bassist FULLY. This didn’t take too long thank GOD, and I really like how it turned out

TUMBLR FIX MY QUALITY

[the-chaosfaes-tf2-team]

Hats off to RED Chemist and the other winners coming out this round! I'll still be around to vote, and may the best class win!

I still intend to do some art for this round and the character interactions I sketched for Assassin. hey, maybe I'll get around to doing some for Retriever and Miss Dunning too!

happy contest and remember to vote in the later rounds!!

“Okay team, listen up:

You’re all going to be fighting each other to the death, and whoever wins gets to start their new lifelong career under contract with Team Fortress Industries!

So. Here are the rules.” - P

----------------------------------------

RULES FOR SUBMISSION:

Your character must be original and be directly related to TF2. 

This can be any kind of OC: Class OCs, tenth class OCs, Machine/robot OCs, Team Fortress Classic OCs, OCs who work outside of TFI (such as assistants to Merasmus or Saxton Hale), YLW/GRN OCs, Teufort citizen/civilian OCs, anything—as long as they are directly related to TF2 and are yours !!!! If you have concerns about this, please dm or send an ask to this account BEFORE submitting your character !!!!

2. !!!! ONE OC PER PERSON !!!!

If you are submitting an original tenth class OC, you are allowed to submit a RED and BLU variant in one bundle. This is the ONLY bundling that is allowed.

Any posts from this blog involving your OC will follow this system of tags: #TF2OcContest2024, #[your tumblr username], #the [class name], & #[character name] (if applicable)

3. You are still allowed to submit an OC even if you’ve never posted them anywhere before. Make an oc for the contest if you want!

An image representing your character and a description of your character are REQUIRED upon submission. Details on what is permitted for each of these are included in the submission form below.

4. Propaganda is allowed and ENCOURAGED, even for others’ OCs!

If you make propaganda including other OCs, you are required to have the creator’s explicit permission before posting. Joking, lighthearted ‘smear campaign’ type propaganda is fine, but again—both parties must consent to this and no real harm should come from it. 

Please post any propaganda of your OC under the #TF2OcContest2024 tag.

5. You are not required to make new art. If you participated in the previous OC Tourney hosted by @/tf2shipswag, you are allowed to reuse any old art you made for that, including your half of the VS cards! 

6. AI GENERATED IMAGES FOR SUBMISSIONS AND PROPAGANDA ARE STRICTLY PROHIBITED. YOU WILL BE BANNED.

“You will be considered a traitor to the Mann vs Machine cause and shot on sight. There are plenty of other ways to make images that don’t require drawing!” - P

--------------------------------------------

RULES FOR PARTICIPATION:

There will be NO TEAM-UPS for organization’s sake. Any ties will be broken with a coin-flip and a quick shot to the head by Miss Pauling—so aim to win.

“Sooo… Don’t try any funny business! We’ve only got enough room in the budget for one person.” - P

2. You will not be able to make requests for match-ups. Contestants will be paired up randomly each round.

3. Please be respectful about others' OCs. Verified claims of harassment will result in disqualification and/or being blocked from the contest account.

“You’ll also be shot for this, just so we’re clear. Can’t leave any loose ends!” - P

4. You are allowed to submit propaganda directly to this blog if you do not want to post it on your own account!

5. Deadlines will be strict.  Keep an eye on when dates for things are posted.*

“I’m looking to hire someone punctual and professional, please!” - P

*The contest hosts reserve the right to make changes to deadlines, rules, and so forth but it is unlikely to happen. If it does an official statement will be made!

6. THE MOST IMPORTANT RULE: PLEASE have fun with this.  Everybody needs to be a good sport and remember this in no way reflects how people view your work, ideas and character.  In our hearts, you’re all winners.  

7. THERE IS ZERO TOLERANCE FOR BULLYING. NONE. YOU WILL BE SHUNNED AND BANNED. TRULY EMBARRASSING TO ACT THAT WAY HERE AND IT WILL NOT BE TREATED KINDLY.

!!!! What do you get for winning? !!!!

You’ll get fanart of your winning character! Art will be by @/sicc-nasti, @/mickmundane, and @/chattycattycal and runner will win a piece by @/loverboy-cc on tumblr PLEASE keep in mind these are NOT requests, just gift fanart!

“You get to live! And bragging rights, of course. Oh—and the job contract. I think someone could also make a celebratory cake? Don’t hold me to that last part, though.” - P

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE SEND IN AN ASK!
