For the Soldier it should say: "I will blow you away, Valentine." And then it shows the soldier blowing someone up. The body parts can explode into the shape of a heart.
Lass, ye make my heart go "kablooie"
Ye are the explosive in my heart, valentine.
Ye be my second eye valentine.
You trigger the explosive in my heart, valentine.
Bloody hell, you make my heart explode valentine.
Ye make my heart bloody explode valentine.
etc. etc.
just throwin ideas out for ya. Loving all the new ones Beavo!
These are completely awesome. I was a little iffy on the scout, but the changes help a lot. The only thing still irking to me is his side-bag being so similar to the pant leg. Now it's all I can look at. Maybe darken or lighten it or something to set it apart from the pants.
Also, that heavy is too good. Love the face and curves.
These are looking super! I think the thing that's bothering me about the scout is the blackish tones used for the shadows. Perhaps on the skin, switch the gradient to a dark orange or brown? That would give it some subtle incandescence. That aside, great stuff!

iruka, that's a good idea i'll give it a shot
hacksaw: haha unfortunately, heavy's has been chosen, he's going to be saying "my heart feels heavy when you're not around, valentine"
i still haven't thought of captions for spy and/or soldier, so ideas for those would be wonderful
For Spy, you could have something like "I can't hide my love for you!"
The pic would be of the Spy running away, possibly on fire, wearing a cardboard mask with a heart on it.
this is totally it
for sure
i think for soldier, i'm going to have him doing the rocket launcher jump and saying something along the lines of "your love launches me off to new heights, valentine"
it's kind of similar to the scout is my only real concern, but i can make it look different.
Hmmm, if you wanted to do the rocket jump thing you could do "Your love lifts me higher than any rocket!"
hahah all these suggestions are fantastic
i should really just give you guys the images and you can add in your own slogans
creambun: that's actually a good idea, i think the dark shades in his skin kind of flatten him a little, so maybe i'll switch the dark tone for a more orangey one tomorrow
i will also lighten his backpack as someone suggested.
for now, here are the inks and base colors for the heavy
which took me way too long.
i'm running behind!
I don't usually comment on people's good work, because they know they're good and everyone else will tell them too (Hi, Wakkawa!). But I just have to say your mastery of vector inking is, to me, astonishing. Vectors are a mystery to me (I tried looking at your tutorial and it made my eyes glaze over), so I really respect you for managing to keep such a traditionally-inked look to these.
toast i owe you for your help with the layout of my novel cover thing so for the next one of these that i do, i'll make up a mini tutorial
maybe i'll run FRAPS or something for ya
Wow. Beavotron, thank you for your excellent tutorial enlightening me on how to use vectors! They're awesome, but now, back to working at them.
Thanks again!
It seems to all lean a bit to much to the left for me. I want to tilt my head to level it out. If the frame was flipped around (so the high end sloped down towards the right) I think it would feel more balanced.
Your vector work always amazes me- I can barely turn on stupid illustrator...
I'm going to pretend that the heavy valentines is for me
His expression seems a bit too angry. I feel like distressed would work better for some reason.
Agreed. The spy is all about, smooth, cool, suave, stabbing. Definitely needs a knife, and definitely needs to be dripping with attitude. Both poses are a bit awkward as is anyways, so prolly want to scrap em. I love the idea of a silly mask on him, but he has such an awesome cig face, you probably don't want to hide it. Maybe utilize a mirror in some way, where one is him, the other is the mask, so you can see both?
he's supposed to be on fire if that helps the sketch at all
i might make him more distressed and less angry
but he's such a cool character that i wanted to make him seem pissed off more than in pain at being set on fire hahah
i will change the facial expression around tonight to find one that's maybe more "ahh i'm on fire"?
and as for awkward posing... elaborate a little maybe? i don't think i'm going to scrap either of them completely as i kinda like the posing. he's not sneaking, he's on fire.
i'm going to move the gun in his left hand so that he's holding it properly. i get the feeling this will eliminate some of the awkwardness?
hopefully?
i'll just keep tweaking as people keep throwing them at me.
It appears that my heart has burst into flames, Valentine!
Also that's the spy's old gun, which it's shown as in lots of old screens. It's a revolver now:
yeah gibs and firman schooled me on that
i'mma fix it later
i've never actually played the spy, i really should get on that, they seem too complicated though
It's a frustrating class. Basically expect to get shat on, but as Firman said, it's like a great hand in a game of poker, as in when the cards come together it's one of the most amazing things to play.

That is amazingly well put, Firman if you can hear me mad props man... mad props. And Beavo, you could draw a spy v-day card as a stick figure and I'd be happy as a hippo.

the heavy was special for cyber and this one's going to be dedicated to you
for the record, your dedication is purely because i think you're smoking hot
bombs by default gets all of them though because he's bombs.
i just realized that i hate the arm holding the mask
so i'm going to fix that.
also i had made you dudes a tutorial using this but the file corrupted >_<
fix his mask holding arm
fix his tie
un-fatten his neck
and butterfly up his blade
I am also still going to do adjustments on the heavy and scout as well (I didn't just ignore you guys)
i'm going to lighten up the scout's backpack, change his skin gradient to include orangey skin tone colors instead of the purpley black
and tilt the heavy's back panel so he's centered.
these final edits will probably posted at the end with all the rest of the finals in the first post.
rustic: he's still going to be saying "i can't disguise my love for you, valentine" as i still think that slogan can fit. as much as i loved the idea of him being on fire, i really couldn't make it "spy-ee" enough for all the spy fans. I am personally way more satisfied with this imagery than with the sketches i had done previously for the spy.
I think I take crits way too seriously at times, if i keep tinkering i'll never get them all done in the next 14 days. Though the ones I do get done will be better than 9 half-assed ones i guess. so keep critting, me hearties! and thanks so much for the input so far.

Possible slogans for Demoman, if you haven't got one already:
"Ah've got mah eye oot fer you!"
"I'm stickin' wi' you, Valentine!" (heart-shaped sticky-bombs, maybe?)
of course! have at it
that goes for anyone really, use them for whatever.
print em off, hand em out
spray em all over the place
i really don't care
just don't alter them or say you made them or something lame like that.

gun is fixed
and in the second one i made him have a screamy on fire face, but i really don't like it
and a completely different take on it:
base colors and inks
i just realized that i hate the arm holding the mask
so i'm going to fix that.
also i had made you dudes a tutorial using this but the file corrupted >_<
While this image is vastly superior to the others, I like the idea of "I can't hide my love for you" too much to not be disappointed.
