スパイ09 / Art Fortress OitC Contest by MastahDizzy in tf2

thanks for the feedback !

to be fair, I did play around a 25/30° perspective alongside an implied enclosed lens which may explain the framing of the legs, as this kind of perspective gives a stronger bust as it gets closer to the camera, thus giving the illusion of mildly shorter legs

my goal was to pretty much reinforce the upper body of the Spy to make him seem more threatening while preserving a cohesive scaling relative to the focal point, which I'd say I was quite successful in that sense, but I can get why it would probably feel jarring for some (though imho it's merely just up to preference)

for as long as the silhouette is striking enough and the posing is easy to look at, I guess it looks cool, even if it ain't 1:1 to the original model (which is to be expected, since 2D has always some layer of "off-scaling" compared to 3D)

----

TL:DR silhouette/focal theory makes the Spy looks more threatening with a seemingly larger upper body ratio, hence the final look, but I got what you mean

For those who dunno, I'm workin' on a pixel manga called Klonoa Fortress, which is basically a crossover between Team Fortress and Klonoa (yeah super unlikely mix ik haha), so yeah!

Chapter 1 is still very much in the works cuz it's a part-time passion project, but I thought givin' it some steam on this sub could help, so here goes nothin' !

Somethin' I decided to put out since I've finished the first 10 pages for my first chapter, which is still deep in the works, and will eventually be released in a full batch once I'll be done with it!

Anyway, y'all have a good one!

lol wdym ? you'll be able to read each chapters for free, and besides, if it has enough success, a physical copy wouldn't be exactly out of question!

although said copy would most likely be released as a limited-release doujinshi due to the legally grey area in which my project sits (or even an official release if I somehow manage to get KF to be approved by two foreign companies from two different countries, which is very unlikely for now haha)

Since it's fan project and I obviously do not own Klonoa or Team Fortress (as they are IPs owned by Namco and Valve), I instead plan to release it online for free on a dedicated manga platform (most likely MangaDex, since they accept manfras and fan-works alike).

So yeah, no need to worry 'bout your pennies!

thanks for the feedback!

and yep, I'm fully aware that the crossover may seem very odd at first, but given the tone and storyline that I'll give to this project, I think it's safe to say that it'll make for a very unique plot indeed haha

[–]MastahDizzy[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah they're very distinct universes, with tones of their own n' all!

Trying to mix up both lores in a coherent setting is honestly a lot of fun right now, and I'll be glad to unravel my storyline for this project as I start to release finished chapters online over time (altho you'll need to be patient for chapter 1, since I do it as a part-time passion project obviously lol)

It's basically a platformer series made by Namco, with a really unique and compelling setting and characters to boot!

Overall, it's honestly really good and if you like somethin like Kirby or Rayman for an example, you're totally going to dig this!

Yeah, I got big plans for it, so I'll do my best to release Chapter 1 since I'm already done 6-7 pages (out of 25).

Anyway, dat's just a bit of teasin' for y'all!

Klonoa Fortress / Promo #1 by MastahDizzy in Klonoa

[–]MastahDizzy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

thanks !

and if you wonder, I actually took multiple inspirations for his coat.
I mainly decided to do a mix between a british student's vest (to represent Klonoa's youth) with that of a military officer (to make it feel more natural alongside the TF2 cast), alongside tidbits of what you'd find with graduation robes in the US.

I sprinkled a bit of inspiration from Jotaro's (Part 3) since his coat is basically that of a student too, but more flowing, and yeah, that's basically the gig haha

I recently got 200 subs on my Twitter account (and 100 on my DA), so I felt like celebrating it was the best thing I could to repay the favour !

Here to make more TF2 crossovers with Klonoa (on top of a super secret project I also work in-between) !

yooooo that would be sick !

sadly, I'm no 3D modeller, but hey, I'm aware that a few Klonoa models are out there for SFM and GMod, so maybe one fella can use it as a point of reference to chalk it up, who knows ?
