>>5269
I can assure you I didn't meant it that way.

>>5271
I didn't say that's bad either, I just said I know it.

>>5265
I'm more into the sappy friendship between heavy and medic (sappy or insane, whichever is fun). I'm not sure who I prefer to ship yet, haha.

Oh wow, Snapesnogger found a new interest

(Don't even start, maggot)

>>5276
Do you mind not calling me that please?

>>5276
Oh heavens.

Anyone who tries to drudge up old shit will be banned from this point on. I will not tolerate it. Fluro has done nothing on this site that warrants bringing up old, irrelevant drama from years ago on DA of all places. So do not even go there, maggots.

Welp, that didn't take very long, did it?

Really, guys? Way to go - and I was just bragging to my friend how well this was going over, too. Fluro is doing just fine and being really good about crit, and I'm liking everything she has to offer thus far. So don't even. We all did stupid things on teh interwebs at one time or the other, so leave it be.

With that said, any new content, Fluro?

It's all cool, The past is the Past, not the present haha. I'm really enjoying doing this TF2 fanart, anyone else who enjoys it is a bonus! so thanks, guys!

A sketch I might clean up and colour.

>>5286
At least in my book, you get heaps of bonus points for maturing and being so awesome about crit and stuff now. You are a good example that people can in fact learn and improve both their work and themselves. Bravo, lady, bravo!

Ontopic: I see you tried to incorperate more of the manry chins in this sketch, nice! You're on the right route, keep going. The posing is really neat as well, though I do wonder where Heavy's shoulder is because his (from the viewer's point) right hand seems to be floating.

>>5284
"Fluro is doing just fine and being really good about crit"

More like being fantastic - I mean, just compare >>5195 and >>5286 !

Love your style, Fluro. I usually get confused when hands are drawn with four fingers in cartoon styles, but you pull it off so well.

>>5286
medic definitely looks better, but heavy still has a baby-face like quality to him.
I like that you gave heavy cheekbones, but it doesn't draw the eyes away from the fact that heavy still looks like he lacks chin.

otherwise i do see the improvement and you should keep drawing and practicing.

>>5286
Oh man, Heavy's huge fingers compared to Medic's.
The expressions are, once again, fantastic. I love your style. Please, keep drawing these two and posting! I'm so glad you're sharing your art with us.

You're getting better at the chin/jaw thing!

Though the 4-finger choice does irk me a bit

>>5286
Ah, I love this! Hope you do clean/colour it, the pencils are really cute. I'm liking how you're incorporating more of the TF2 manliness into your more heavy-on-the-adorable-side cartooning, it combines into a really fun/interesting style, and I'm impressed by how much improving/refining you've done in a really short time!

tl;dr, please stay and enjoy the fandom, and produce more art for me to smile over.

I'm pretty sure that if I keep checking this thread, I'm going to get diabeetus.

Bring it on.

Your latest Medic looks amazing, by the way. There's a certain refined quality you've given him, especially in his expression (as annoyed as it is). Keep it up, keep it up!

>>5286
please to be cleaning and coloring?

>>5274

You will ship Heavy/Medic.

I will make sure of this.

>>5299
Its impossible to be around you for any period of time and not develop this ship.
What have you done to me?

Fluro I'm happy to see you drawing for this fandom. I've always loved your cartoony expressions.

>>5299
hurrhurr guess you were right AUGH, why bother to fight it...

>>5303

Hrrrrnnnnnggghhh~ Dat Heavy/Medic!

>>5303
I don't think I've ever been happier to get the beetus. Very cute smooch there.

>>5303
So very mushy and cute... blushy Hoovy is the best Hoovy.

SUCCESS

your style is interesting but the four fingered hands are a real put-off

Fluroknife in the TF2 fandom. My insides are now squealing all over the place.
Honestly, seeing the Sniper and Medic in your colorful and active makes me grin so hard my face hurts.
I'm not going to bother with crit here, seeing as everyone else has already said what I've noticed, so all I'm going to do is sit here and try not to Gnee~ too loud.

>>5286
>>5303

oh man i really like where these two are going, especially the heavy. both of them look a lot older and on-character.

sorry I keep critting so hard, and sorry if my redlines appear as though I was trying to change your style or something. that's not the case. I just suck at mimicking your style so I hope you weren't offended or something haha.

you seem to be doing well with the faces so my biggest crit right now would be with the hands. it doesn't bother me so much that they're 4 fingers, but they do have the tendency to be parallel to each other. changing the angles of them to radiate outwards from the palm will really help to give more life to their poses. the first set of joints in medic's scalpel hand in the pencil drawing are significantly too short, and I would like to see his pinky finger curling inwards a little. the other hands all seem to have the same parallel thing happening, too. I know it's just a sketch, so take this and my other crits with a grain of salt.

I really dig your work and I hope I'm helping haha

>>5317
I agree with this.

And I would suggest that you should drop cartoony style for a second and go draw real-life studies to grasp the feeling about proportions.

Not saying that you should drop your style completely, just try drawing ''something that you see, not how you think it should look like.'' (Oh my God, who would say that Tom Preston was right for once!)

>>5318
I take a sort of, "do as he says, not as he does" sort of attitude towards Preston. It doesn't show very well, but I'm trying to do that (not the artist in the thread).

Fluro, I think you have a rather cute style, one that suits the vibrant colors you use, but as someone who's also stuck in a sort of permanmant stylization of every picture I draw, I do think it'd benifit you as it's (sort of) benifitting me. I'm by no means a pro, (and I can readilly give examples of my mediocre work that shows it), but I think, with your existing abilities, taking a step back and just drawing/scratching/doodling what you see in life would do nothing but greatly benifit your style. Best of luck to you in continuing and improving!
I'm sorry I have no concrit for any of your current pieces, by the way. I thought doing sofor most of them would be just too late or beating a dead horse.
Have a good day!

>>5286
Just gonna drop by and say I absolutely love your Heavies. Especially this one.

>>5317
I wasn't offended and I wasn't ignoring them either, sorry if it seemed that way. I've seen a few Hipstr posts this morning about people conversing about what I've been posting. I'm really just trying to have a bit of fun, that's the whole point of fanart. I really am trying to improve, everything I've learned I've learned on my own, I haven't gone to art school, cos there aren't any good ones where I live haha.
someone mentioned giving me a redline on DA of all places a few months ago, and I gotta say, I don't remember, so please don't be insulted.

As for four fingers, I could easily draw five, there isn't really anything stopping me, But alot of the things I'm not changing that you're pointing out are style preferences. I highly doubt any time in the future I'm going to approach valve and ask them to let me do concept art for them, haha!
sorry if I sounded whiney here, I just wanted to try and explain myself.

I have done some life drawing before, and it WAS fun, I need to find a local group for it, sadly, where I live, there aren't any that I have found so far.

>>5340
I just noticed the four fingers thing. I'm liking the artwork.

It would be interesting to see you do 'darker' pictures. You do well with a light colour palate so I'm curious how you would do with different tones

>>5340
hey yeah no problem. everyone has different goals with fanart, and it's definitely not bad to do it just for fun. likewise, I don't expect for you to take every little detail to heart, nor am I upset with whatever you produce. I critique because I like your work. it's sort of my way of making a compliment i guess haha

the last few crits were not meant to crit your style, but I guess I got a little too wordy and tried to support it with drawings that were mostly my own style. I'll try to be more concise about it from now on.

that said, I do notice improvement already in your work, and it makes me happy to see how often you produce new work. keep it up! glad you're part of the fandom~

>>5340

You don't need local groups to do that. Just draw things around your house. Go outside with a sketchbook and draw people, things, streets, animals, etc. For human referencing, you can use this http://www.pixelovely.com/gesture/figuredrawing.php , I know it helped me a lot.

And it was me who gave you a redline over on dA some time ago, but don't worry, I don't feel insulted, considering the amount of comments you receive there, you probably haven't even seen it. It's just that I noticed that you still have the same problem which is pointed out in this post >>5234

The thing is, I noticed that you focus more on your style than you do on the whole concept of your work. Having a defined style isn't bad, actually, it's a great thing, but sometimes, you have to step away from it for a moment.

I would love to see you do for example, Medic, but in a realistic way. Like I've said, you'll not abandons your style, you will just do...something different for a change?

Oh my god, it is really hurting me how everyone's giving this person such a flood of shit. Even concrit hurts if given incessantly, without enough of the positive. Fuck. These are some of my favourite pictures on the board.

Do not be discouraged, noobface. I am lapping this up.

(The only one having a problem is you, maggot)

>>5364
While Fluro does make a few anatomy mistakes, they colour beautifully, draw very expressive faces, and I kind of like the four-fingered hands. That good? All true by the way. I am very jealous of their colouring.

>>5364
You got butthurt because of someone's opinion that wasn't even directed to you, on internet, and then we're the ones with a problem?

Most of the people here are actually really nice and willing to help her.

Just going to echo something I've said before since some people still don't get it.

Concrit is not a bad thing, even in excess (though if they all start to say the same thing after a while, then that's when you should stop because it starts being ineffective.) If people are offering criticism, usually they do so because they want to see the artist grow. People taking the time out of their day to offer advice or insight should mean that those people see great things in someone's art and want them to be even greater than they already are.

If you can't handle that, and this is directed at the VIEWERS too, then you need to not be here, sorry to say. TF2chan has never been a hugbox.

D'Aww, Fluro didn't come back.
If anyone wants, she's got her Hipstr full of tf2 fanart and her sparkledog.

http://owlymedics.Hipstr.com/

>>5370
*new user runs a mile*

I came back, but i didn't really go anywhere, I just didn't want to spam this thread with badly drawn requests and ask medic responses, haha. Have something I put some effort into, hope you guys like it.

>>5483
I really love the textured look that's coming off in the approach you made with the colors. Thanks for keeping us updated with your lovely works.

>>5483
I love this. I realy like the cartoony style! I must ask are you using sai or PS? The textures are nice, The only thing I find a little off is the texture of the breath, It has a clear square of where the pattern repeats and it takes away from the smooth look you have. I'd either use the pattern but make it larger or find another pattern for that one. Either way awesome job! Don't stop drawing comerade!

Also >>>5171 this is greatness.

>>5483
If I can't say "welcome back", then I'll say it's good to see an awesome new picture! It looks like poor medic needs a hat too...
I know people have been asking, but I've been wondering what program/tools you used for this? I love the way it looks (like, pencil strokes and paint). Is it traditional? Anyway, good work. If I may, though, Heavy's face does seem to be too round overall. I'm not sure if that's a stylization thing or not, and it doesn't really take away from the picture, just an observation.

>>5497
I painted this one in photoshop, all my cellshaded stuff and sketches are done in sai though!

also, comic strip time

>>5498
AW, TITS.

I was so going to do this (exact same characters and everything!), only with Sanviches instead of Medic! Like, change the entire script and everything!

BALLS WHY DO I HAVE TO BE SO SLOW AAUGH.

The comic itself is pretty funny, though. I'd say to spend some more time on Soldier, if I had to critique it. His head looks kinda... off, somehow.

>>5498
haha, oh my god. i love you for doing this.

>>5498

I love scout's expression in the second panel. "If you order now we'll throw in da nuts ABSOLUTELY FREE.

>>5498
First I thought "meh, should have been sandvich", but then:

>with or without nuts
>WITH OR WITHOUT NUTS
>The Medic's face
>cue attached gif

THIS MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD. AWESOME.

Only one point of critique: Pay more attention to how Soldier looks. You didn't really include his main facial features (e.g. shape of the head and GIANT manry chin). Look more at that and it's neat!

>>5498

I'm gonna steal that second-panel Medic and keep him for myself. It's derpdorable: the perfect combination of adorable and derp.

>>5498
I love the way you draw Scout faces. Actually, I've always really liked your art. It's so expressive.

And anyone who makes Spongebob references out of context is okay with me.
