getting to know the setting and watching Meet The Soldier: Oh man, Soldier is… messed up. But funny! Thinking that Sun Tzu pulled a noah’s ark and the zoo is named after him because he beat up two of every animal with his fight money after perfecting war? THAT’S HILARIOUS.
after learning more of the setting, including the existence of a mineral that makes Australians super intelligent macho geniuses, Abraham Lincoln invented the second floor after eons of everyone rocket jumping upwards to sleep, New Zealand being a Krypton-analogue, and the future president of the US is a cybernetiaclly enhanced pomeranian: …SHIT. was soldier actually telling the truth about Sun Tzu’s zoos and fight money!?
Listen TF2′s Mann Versus Machine mode has Romevision, a crossover with the comic series Asterix and Obelix was bound to happen.
The cover is referenced from the first comic book in the Asterix series, Asterix the Gaul - I actually based the version more off the copy that I own, which looks more like the one in this image.
The character page is referenced off of this one. The descriptions themselves are modified descriptions between the ones from the Asterix comics, and the character bios for the mercenaries. A bit of splicing together one could say. In the case of the demoman though, there’s some reference to a certain scene in the tf2 comics. More specifically.
Now I haven’t drawn any of the other mercs yet, but I assure you if I did Scout would basically be pretty much Justforkix from the comic Asterix and the Normans. I guess there’s some humor to be found in the fact that Spy is the only one who’s actually french but I didn’t quite get to him yet.
This game has always held a special place in my heart. I grew up with it, made so many friends, and spent so much time with the community. I’ve invested nearly a thousand hours in this game and keep coming back to it time and time again. I’ve never met such an amazing community of people (yes even better than the clone wars community.)
One of my favorite characters, a character who, though he’s totally insane, I relate to so well. I’ve honestly never cried over a celebrity death before this, but this hit me really hard.
Every character in this game is special to me. I remember in middle school scribbling them down on the edges of my papers. I even did an english project based on their personalities.
Thank you Rick May. I’m so thankful for everything you’ve done for the millions of players and even the people who don’t play tf2 themselves, but enjoy let’s plays and sfm films. Thank you so much. May you rest in peace.
Greetings to everybody who has found meself when I’m actually online. Not long ago, I have found myself on incredible Doodleordie.com. Like, I really needed that kind of place where I can draw in chains and make funny and cool stuff. I’m not actually an one-layer artist myself, but it kinda works here. I’ll post doodles here once in a while, I guess.
