Description Cool story behind this image: one day I was so bored that I created my own Team Fortress 2 character. Initialy I started to draw a sketch of the original Sniper and then just couldn't stop. While drawing, I created his background, features and etc. So, yeah. Now I have my own Sniper. In my world TF2-themed characters live in present days so I changed his outfit slightly and gave him more modern weapon (I guess all of my sniping characters have it, oh God). But he hasn't any name yet. Amount of my nameless characters is too damn high

This particular picture is based on a story I created. In a nutshell - it's his first shooting practice after a long forced break and results aren't really good. So, he's quite upset.

Grey part at the top of his hair isn't a light - he's partly grey-haired.

And look! I actually drew the background which isn't just some gradient Honestly, I think it's the most detailed picture I did in ages.

Amazing how accurately you've managed to draw the rifle! Was Accuracy International AW (the rifle Sniper is holding) your first choice to his weapon?

Thank you!
AW is one of my favourite weapons, and I always enjoy to draw it, so, I quite quickly decided to give it to this Sniper, I'd say I didn't even thought about other variants And now, all my sniping characters have an AW in their "weapons collection"

Thank you! Yeah, I put tons of details here! But I doubt that it helped the pic look better XD Shade like me it's easy - draw random spots and then blur the shit out of them XD Half of details disappeared during the background's bluring process :c But fortunately some of them survived XD
