OMG YUONMADE IT YORU PROFILE PIC

Oohhhh yes, YES Thank you once again for your gorgeous work, this was the best gift to see for me at this morning! 🔥

Out of the entire cast, Scout is, funnily enough, the one who reacts the least to anything scary or traumatizing.

A lot of people depict him as this guy who's the scaredy cat, asshole, angsty one of the team, when a lot of the time? He's... actually a really cool dude (if a bit energetic).

In "Jungle Inferno", it's Spy who runs when there's an odd noise, and it's Scout who continues forward. While it could've been because Spy's voice actor didn't make an appearance, it's oddly symbolic to their characters.

In "MvM - The Sound of Medicine", when Heavy, Soldier, Scout, and Pyro are surrounded by Demobots, as Heavy and everyone else are blown up and Heavy's head lands on Scout's stomach, he doesn't even react. He just... looks at Heavy's head and let's his own head fall back in defeat.

Even in the comics as he's being choked out by everyone on the team, he kinda just accepts it without being nervous or anxious, he doesn't even flinch when it happens, just a sort of, "aw man, this shit again? Sod off!" reaction.

He acts immaturely, sure, but he's never like, a kid about anything? He's acts like an immature adult, but it's never immature-immature, even when he moves on from Pauling, it's both out of respect for both her and himself.

He's really respectful about it, actually, and Pauling isn't disgruntled or even annoyed, even she knows he never meant any harm, only that he was a hopeless romantic. And even in the duration of his crush, he actually respects her a lot, even if he doesn't go through with his plans to hang out with her.

If we're assuming here, the guy grew up with his mom. He's been respecting women since day one, he knows just how much of a charmer he can be because he grew up under his mom's care. Scout's awkward as hell, but he knows not to push it with women.

A lot of people want Scout angst or try to make him out to be the asshole but like, he really just does not give a shit. In fact, he's likely the only one out of the entire cast who copes with his problems like any normal human being.

Conclusion: Scout isn't angsty, a scaredy-cat, or an asshole, he's just a really, really complicated and paradoxical character who is, unfortunately, extremely bastardized by everyone in the TF2 community. It's a shame too, he has such a unique personality.

So for a few months now I've been redrawing Leyendecker drawings as the Mercs to practice my rendering a little. I haven't had the motivation to finish although I only have one and a half left. I'm posting these to see if I get my motivation back :P

Sudden burst of enthusiasm got me to make a new poster with concept which I've wanted to release some time ago. I thought that it would be really nice to take all my mercs loadouts from the game and turn them all into complete & separate characters (and put them together in the poster, yeah). You can see Dell, my engi OC, here too. It's definitely not my best artwork, but I was just working with the cool concept from my head, not extra fancy stuff or whatever people want to call it "amazing". I've enjoyed to work with poses & rim lights here the most. 📷
