Artist's commentary
Reds Unmasked
My God, they all look strange.
Since every deviant seems to have chipped in for the massive restaraunt bill of wrongness that is drawing the Team as females, I thought I'd add some spare-change-wrongness by doing the Team (or rather the REDs, who are the only real team) sans all facial coverings - and sans the Heavy, who of course has nothing on his face but skin.
Notes!
Demoman: Probably my least favourite to draw out of the bunch, probably because empty eyesockets are not exactly easy to render.
Engie: For some reason, always immensly fun to draw (less fun to paint). Here sporting the trendy 'my hair was set alight by an oil fire seven times' look.
Scout: Where I live, that hairstyle is affectionately termed the 'duck's arse'.
Medic: Without his glasses it becomes even more apparent that he is mostly made up of jaw.
Sniper: I would've loved to give him a truly Elvis-esque quiff, but sadly I'm tied by Valve's design a la 'meet the Sniper'.
Pyro: I'd prefer it if the Pyro doesn't turn out to be a girl (if he turns out to be anything) because doing so would ruin the whole boys-club atmosphere of Fortress. Still, if a girl the Pyro must be, then I think it's only right that she be a typically repressed, bubbly housewife.
Soldier: This is what you get if you wear a helmet that covers half your face for a decade.
Spy: Or rather a composite based on the outlines of his lovely balaclava. I assume he has hair.
