Title: Free TF2 Icon Artwork
Post by: on August 22, 2016, 10:15:21 AM
This topic will be closed on Friday.

Hello!

Some of you may know me, while a majority of you don't.

I'm a hobbyist artist who wishes to connect to this community,
and I figured to get acquainted with some of the people here
I would share my ability with you guys!

So I've been working on a way to revolutionize the way I do my digital art -
something quick and easy, but also looks nice when equipped on to any profile.
I'm making a free steam profile icon for anyone who is interested!
(it doesn't have to strictly go onto steam, the icon is yours and you can do whatever you would like with it)

Here are some rad examples so far.

(http://i.imgur.com/yx94kDr.png)(http://i.imgur.com/3JqxFxY.png)(http://i.imgur.com/ozimZg3.png)(http://i.imgur.com/UxXHAJV.png)(http://i.imgur.com/zwCJrHy.png)(http://i.imgur.com/KvE1hLA.gif)(http://i.imgur.com/6AGryX4.png)(http://i.imgur.com/NUiUzsR.png)(http://i.imgur.com/JJRdiro.png)(http://i.imgur.com/eIpkavO.png)(http://i.imgur.com/tt12XWI.png)(http://i.imgur.com/2sOPrMm.png)(http://i.imgur.com/mWFQ6dX.png)(http://i.imgur.com/KLiqaVu.png)(http://i.imgur.com/Pz49W2k.png)

So, rules are a thing - everyone has them. Especially us artists.

This is IMPORTANT information. Read all of these before posting.



Do not claim this artwork as your own. You'll probably be called out by me and attacked by other angry artists.
You don't have to credit me, but I'll like you more if you do!
Only one icon per person, please!
Chances are I will visit your Steam profile. I do this because I would like to be sure what colors best suit you and your profile. Don't worry, I will not add you.
TF2 characters only, please! If you want something non-TF2 related, you're more than welcome to commission me instead.
You MUST provide the cosmetic names of your loadout or a screenshot. Both is okay if you're extra paranoid.
Don't add me for this, please! Post here instead!
This is not first come first served. If you're unlucky and we've met before on bad terms, you may even be ignored. ):
You don't have to be an admin or have any special status for this! This is for friends or strangers of all types.



Finally, please keep in mind that steam ruins the quality upon upload. There is nothing anyone can do about this, so don't freak out.

When I am done with your icon, I will post it here and update this post and its examples. So make sure you check back now and then!

I will ultimately make 5 or 10 icons. If things really get rolling, I might even make it to a whopping 15.



Note: This topic should only contain supportive
comments, requests, and results in order to
maintain cleanliness and order.


All appreciative comments and compliments
are to be sent personally and privately through the
personal messaging system of the forums.

Thank you!

This is a great opportunity for more people to connect with each other more, staff and regular members alike.

I understand that we are friends but I would like to make requests professionally.

Class: Scout
Loadout: Federal Casemaker, Spooky Sleeves, and Hot Heels (Though I'm sure that the Hot Heels won't really be included and I'm okay with that)
Paints: N/A
Weapons (optional): Specialized Skillstreak Current Event Scattergun (Factory New) [If you do choose to include this in the icon, I would appreciate it if you gave it the Villainous Violet sheen]

Final words: I would like to thank you in advance and I am more than happy to credit you for your work. I've had 2 friends make me icons and I tend to switch between them once in awhile, and this one will definitely not go unnoticed.

Hi Robo,

     Seeing as you've made these wonderful pieces of art and are offering to make more, I would like to have one done for myself (if it's not too inconvenient for you.) The image would be of the Team Fortress 2 Medic staring off to the side or into the distance (or at least, not straight at the person viewing the image.) The cosmetics would include:


     If possible, I would like the background to have a dark/night theme. I like the subtle tones of silent beauty. If you can accomplish this, I would be greatly appreciative.

Thanks, Blood

  • (Black) Vintage Tyrolean
  • (Black) Ward
  • (Australium Gold) Blighted Beak

Done!
I didn't quite expect to make any real backgrounds that weren't a solid background (I'm not good with those things) - but I didn't mind giving it a go! So I hope it's okay for you.
I have two versions, so you can use them however you please.

You have some really well done artwork here.

I can also see you have a lot of orders in your hand, and my request is more than less irrelevant.

I'm already quite satisfied with my current avatar. But if you can top it, or make other forms of art using my cosmetics and weapons as seen in my profile and profile photo, that would be amazing.

Keep up the good work my friend.  ;D

And can you make it look like he's holding a jar of jarate from the bottom of the jar, looking into it?

Howdy Robo. I know we haven't talked for a while since I found you more on the mc server rather often. But if it isn't too much for you, can you make one of these for me please? That would be awesome if you can! ;)

The cosmetics are for meh engi: Mining Light, Trencher's Tunic and Flared Frontiersman (But I think your going more for the head and torso but whatever lel)

Team Red will be the main color for the engi I have just to let you know.

The Background will be light brown for the profile pic itself.

Thank you for reading this message and I'll see what you can do with that! ;)

Two new icons to start off the day!
I'm seeing a bunch of Snipers,
and while normally that's incredibly awesome
because Sniper is one of my favorite characters,
I can't seem to draw Sniper this morning.
His face and glasses are all just ajsgkjaskshg

So I'll work on Sniper icons later today.

I put you on Blu to make not only the manndarin pop more
but because it matches with everything else better.
Also I usually put killstreaks in one eye to avoid a mess / character blocking.
Hope all of that is okay!

Hello Robo, I am interested in your generous offer.

For my icon, I would like a soldier. He is wearing:

Unusual Caribbean Conqueror - Frostbite Effect
Antlers
The Diplomat
And a Festive Shell Shocker. (Factory New)

Here is a screenshot for reference http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=751293376
And actually, I'll make an SFM picture to show the pose I would like him in.
- I've attatched a picture of the pose I would like him in, in SFM. SFM glitched the textures on the hat and I couldn't find "The Diplomat" cosmetic, but the screenshot link I provided above should be enough.

Hai! I heard youw ere making thigns!

I really like when people incorperate tf2 into their art, and hwo amazing the contrast is from game to paper or image is incredibl,e and I just want to say I love your art. It looks amazing <3 maybe if I could add you we could tlak more c;

Anyway I would likeo to have one too of my Pyro!

Foster's Facade (Radigan Brown), Aces High Antlers, And an Ebenezer!, My main weapon is an Axtinguisher. Theres no full nede to incorperate it into the image, I firmly believe in letting the artist do what they do best. I dated one before, and the ratio of ideas she asked for versus what came out when she tried was slim. Just do your work whenevr you are free to c:

Thank you ahead of time, and Id love to get to talk to you sometime <3

Hello guys!
Just quickly letting you know that my speed in making these has died down pretty harshly because my internet was completely seizing for the past two days. Like, I could not stay connected for 40 seconds (sometimes less) before it would disconnect and re-establish another 40-second (or less) connection.

I got a technician here today and he updated all of the equipment and seemingly fixed our problem. So it should pick up from here again with a couple of icons a day!

I got a few loadouts actually loaded today during this struggle, so here's some results.

Actually, I got yours done much earlier today because I was in the mood for drawing some Pyro! :B
Don't worry about my hands being full, I'm used to this kind of thing~

Had some from yesterday, likely will post the remaining ones today or tomorrow as I only have a few more to go.

This will soon be closed, as these icons are limited edition and are getting harder to make.



class - sniper
cosmetics - pink cold killer, pink bruisers bandanna, pink snow scoper


Yours became sort of an experimentation with color palettes. Mostly because pink did not want to work with me in an older attempt at your icon.
Hope this looks okay to you!

Heyo, man. Cool hobby, wanted to get into art, not creative enough :/   Anyways, my request for a class picture, if you don't mind ^^

Class: Demoman
Hats: Hallmark Hustler, Toowoomba Tunic or Dead of Night
Style/color I prefer is purple, red, or white.

Thanks, and good luck on your job/hobby as an artist or drawer, or... something of that sort I guess?

This topic will be closing by this Friday. Anyone who hasn't gotten a chance to grab an icon yet through the forums: Today is ideally the last day to make a request (I don't reccommend grabbing one at the last minute on thursday for both of our sakes).

That said, I will be doing giveaways similar to this in the future on these forums. I encourage others to check around the forums often, if possible!

If anyone is interested in icons in the future, I will be interested in taking commissions and charge a key for these (which is really frikkin' cheap imo).

PM me through this website for more information or any questions.




I think at this point I've gotten everyone who has posted here (who actually wanted an icon).
If I have forgotten you, please PM me!



Class- Sniper
Cosmetics- Shooter's Tin Topi, black painted band (Aces High unusual effect maybe?), Scoped Spartan, and Final Frontiersman.

And can you make it look like he's holding a jar of jarate from the bottom of the jar, looking into it?


Initially, I had a more perspectively plan with this icon that just didn't work out.
So I improvised, and I don't know if it's exactly what you wanted, but I still hope it looks okay.
