A drawing I don't think I'll finish. Clearing out the old sketch folders
In case anyone is curious - reason I won't finish this is due to being a BAD BOY and drawing this at potato rez, all on one layer AND (worst crime of all) not planning this illustration! Heavy is too large in composition and leant over Cheavy and...it's just so much effort to change that haha. Also I'm not sure if I'm...artistically confident enough yet to render the foreshortening on Heavy's arm...I might need to do some more studies.
What I will probably do is remove Heavy, tweak the camera to a worms eye and have a fullbody of Heavy silhouetted on the horizon with blood and bandolier 'illuminated' within his silhouette. I think it'll look cool and graphic.
In writing this comment I also realised that the environment and Heavy are lit from different directions (head in hands).
the naked and the dead panel redraw! top ten medic violence moments all time past and future kill and attack and kill and attack and kill and kill and kill and k
Super excited about the implications of that image but haven't seen much discussion about this, so I'll try to get the ball rolling:
With the hints of Ms. Pauling showing up in a potential prequel/sequel to Emesis Blue, I wonder what sort of role she'll play and how similar or different she'll be to the original character? Archibald basically filled the role of the Administrator in the movie, keeping the Gravel Wars going for eternity through any means necessary (even if their motives are different). So does Pauling work for Archibald in this universe, or does she still work for the Administrator and is a sort of liaison between the two? Plus, how aware is she of the Respawn Machine and it's less than pleasant side affects on the mercs?
But also what about the other characters from the Team Fortress universe and the roles they could play in this universe?!
The Administrator would fit in just fine as she is in this universe, I think!
And with his brothers killed towards the end of the movie, it's the perfect time for Gray Mann to come in during a sequel; perhaps he recovers the Respawn Machine from the remains of the Slaughter House and starts the nightmare all over again, intentionally or unintentionally reviving certain characters in the process!
Then there's the Classic Team who could be working with Gray in hopes of gaining eternal life via the Respawn Machine (unaware or uncaring of the side affects).
Imagine Zhanna coming to America searching for her "missing" brother, meeting Jane and falling in love... and then the drama from realising he killed her brother.
And then there's these guys!
I would like to hear your thoughts! What ideas do you have?
[Image IDs: One image of official Warriors art and one from the tf2 comic. The Warriors art shows Scourge dramatically slashing at Tigerstar's stomach. The tf2 comic panel shows Medic slicing at Cheavy's face with his bonesaw, with "slash" written in big red text as an action descriptor. End ID]
imagine the power classic heavy would have had if he did accept medic’s help when he was going out to fight the tf2 mercs
ofc medic would be yknow betraying his own teammates but he was offering his help anyway (what a bastard lmao /hj) but just imagine
medic can literally make a human invincible for a period of time and can bring people back from the dead.
classic heavy would have been fucking unstoppable unless the mercs did manage to kill him anyway (maybe along with medic for betraying them idk) for plot purposes
buuuut he didnt accept medics help and died, he deserved it tho
at least classic heavy’s death was fucking satisfactory lmao
Because the tfc mercs are the 'evil shadow opposite' of their tf2 counterparts, id like to imagine that tfc medic was a genuine field doctor who cared about his job and the sanctity of it a lot.
Maybe he sincerely tried to heal and help and work with tfc heavy who only pushed him away since "nurses dont belong on the battlefield". Idk what i like better, cheavy just being like that and hating all attempts of cooperation from people he deems lesser than him, or him wanting to get closer with tfc medic but his firm beliefs and insecurities twisting that want into disgust and hatred
Im still torn about what made cmedic not stick with the tfc team in the comic, it could be this attitude they all had finally getting to him, or the much spicier 'cheavy killed him after he got tired of his ass/his own emotions getting too strong to suppress so he had to get rid of the problem'.
Now that i write this i absolutely like the second option more, it kinda makes me see the moment cheavy attacked medic in the comic in a different light. Like, he did this before. No issue getting rid of the same problem again.
(Not saying cheavy liked medic whatsoever, he didn't, he hated his guts. I imagine that by this point cheavy grew to be distant enough to almost fully suppress that need for anyone who tries to care for him again. Not to even mention how incompatible cheavy and tf2 medic are as characters. The "problem" this time is another medic trying to work with him on the battlefield, trying to protect him and care for him, trying to make him feel weak. in his head at least.)
Also makes the fact that his demise was a heavy/medic team-up even more delicious, the powerful bond he could've had but was too insecure to accept was the exact thing that killed him. after he tried to get rid of the problem the same way he did last time he had the chance to create something beautiful and stronger than he could ever be alone.
