Description Alternative title; "Use More Gun".


Eight as my favored TF2 class, Engineer sitting on capture point 1 of stage 2 of the Dustbowl map.

The original wasn't a postcard style, but I didn't post that here because I like this one better.




Welcome to Dustbowl. Come and take it, if you can.

I have to agree, in a strictly fan/artist manner. Its true that the greatest fans come along very far and few between, and you're right, thats what makes them special. If I had people fawning over Eight all the time, I'd just want them to aallllll shuddup. XD

Moar will come with time. You can't rush awesome. Well, you can, but then there's usually fire involved.

aahhh dustbowl, there is no better place to play atack and defend... just wonderful and the lombax makes it even better! id like to of these fine postcard please xD. But seriously, great job... you captured the point with this image )haha do you get it? Lol... sorry bad joke here

classicEIGHT In reply to Ghostpropeth [2011-10-14 21:45:27 +0000 UTC]

lol! Bad joke, STILL funny. In the end, isn't that what matters?

Yeah, I love Dustbowl. I can play all classes but have always loved Engi the best. To be a good engineer, both defensive and offensive, you have to know the ins and outs and capabilities of each other class right down to the blast radius of a stray pipe bomb. People think its a noob class, but honestly, Matches can be won and lost by someone with skill playing Engi.
And obviously, Eight sitting on that cap point really illustrates that!

Thanks!

Ghostpropeth In reply to classicEIGHT [2011-10-15 16:29:30 +0000 UTC]

yeep, the point of a joke is being funny, i like to do that kind of lame jokes, because, people laughs of me, at least xD. I totally think like you, engineer is not a noob class, actually, he have his own complications, and they are vital in the defense of the points, but a good engineer, can make a lot of difference when attaking. But, being honest, i dont play very much with him, i like him, but i suck as engineer... Its like, im just starting to build my sentry, i get away just a second and... damn! f**king spy sapped my sentry! or a damn demoman, blows it with the sticky bombs! >-< thats why everytime i play (almost everytime as a heavywepons guy, or a sniper thats why i see myself as the weird combination of a sniper and a heavy [link] ) i help them as much as i can).

Anyway... thats how I lost mah medical licence..

BTW your work is very good, but i have a question why dont you do some more tf2 art?

classicEIGHT In reply to Ghostpropeth [2011-10-17 02:54:47 +0000 UTC]

I have done another involving Spy and a character from a kids cartoon "Bob the Builder" and a few TF2 doodles, you can find the ones I've uploaded in my scraps. There aren't many to show though.
TF2 is my favorite thing (right after Firefly), and I can't believe that I don't have more TF2 art now that I think about it. I have been planning a very large piece, but it is going to take a long time to finish.

I should do more TF2, but I never have many good ideas.

I love Engi, he's Texan, smart, a little crazy, and just a good ol' boy. His character really speaks to me.

I'm never far away from my Sentry, but I can always leave it and know just about how far I can go before someone runs into it and comes back to destroy it. One of my favorite tactics is to set the Sentry in one place and get a few kills, then move it. Because when someone gets killed a few times, they know where it is, so they will come back and creep around the corner and try to shoot it out of its range... If you move it to where it will be behind them when they sneak around that corner just a little, they get shot anways and thats ALWAYS funny!!

Ghostpropeth In reply to classicEIGHT [2011-10-18 23:03:13 +0000 UTC]

that`s a very good idea, actually i never tought something like that, i never change my sentry, i always let it in the same spot, but now ill try to move it... i think i saw your image, with bob, very funny actually xD, bob the builder is very similar to the engineer xD i dont know if bob is texan, but they look very similar xD. I like the sniper because he is so british, and australian (and very handsome if you ask me, but never mind xD) I LIKE TF2! xD

I like all of the members. How they are all a little crazy in their own special way. Soldier is batshit loco, Pyro is a creepy crazy, Heavy is Murder-go-nutz, Engi is smart Crazy, Sniper is Crazy with logic... Its fun to see that they all have their own little mental malfunctions.

Hey, i have a question for you, now that you mention the crazy pyro: Do you have any theory about him/her/it? I have the theory that he is some kind of mentally sick man/woman, who actually isn't part of the team, he just likes to kill members of the other colour and the others let him/her/it... whatever... so do you have your own crazy theory?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

classicEIGHT In reply to Ghostpropeth [2011-10-21 04:17:55 +0000 UTC]

Well, the truth behind it is that I've tried to come up with something viable and not totally over the top for a good long while now, and I simply can't decide.
Do I think the Pyro is a woman? No. When Valve created the game I recall seeing some commentary along the lines of "We should have put more than men in this game.".
Do I think Valve will make the Pyro a woman? Possibly, I suppose. Especially considering the buzz about it all. In the end, no one will know until the vids are out and the official statements are made.
Thats about as far as I've decided anything, lol. But I have gone through MANY crazy-ass theories. XD

Ghostpropeth In reply to classicEIGHT [2011-10-24 03:30:17 +0000 UTC]

Im thinking that VALVe is just trolling with the fans, and they will never release a video for "meet the pyro" cuz, i dont know, valve seems to enjoy the mistery, i dont know if you know half life, but thats a very good example... who is g-man? why gordon freeman doesnt talk? whats in the borealis? is the cake a lie? xD, they like the damn misteries!

Ahhh Valve. Good ol' Valve.

Its taken them a decade to put out 2 of the 3 episodes of H/L, but they put out 2 versions of L4D in a little more than a year, PLUS constantly updating TF2 and 2 parts to Portal.

I think they're bored with the H/L series. Y'know, its like the project you started first, and its awesome and then you start on another BETTER project and the first one is kinda MEH.

yeah i know, i think they are like "Ok HL made us famous... But we can do another things! Which is great, i mean, L4D 1 and 2 are awesome, Portal 1 & 2 Awesome TF2 COMPLETLY AWESOME!!! but they must know that fans of HL like myself, are expecting to know all about it! >-< its kinda frustrating, cuz... its a very exiting game

Hahaha btw: You made me think in the homer simpson's father when you said "Valve. Good ol valve" i imagined you, telling that like him xD

Yeah, I hear ya, WWII era was one of my favorites to study, hear about/think about!
Most of the technology or weaponry created in or around that time are the forerunners of a lot of things we use still today.

Not to mention, I'd love to step back just for a day, see how different things are. It interests me, you always see pieces in stories or movies, but you don't know how it was to LIVE then..

I enjoy playing anyone (save for the Spy lolol), so I'll switch around based on what I think will work best with our current situation.

Though, I tend to be best at Pyro. :'D Just... burning things. lolol. I'm also a pretty good medic most of the time. But yeah- they are ALL FUN. Engineer is awesome when I can manage to not get shanked constantly lol.

classicEIGHT In reply to delSHARK [2011-09-21 21:01:38 +0000 UTC]

A good tactic, match the class to the situation. I do the same, though I main Engineer or Pyro. I've been playing since the game came out in 06, so I count myself as an expert on tactics... not to blow my own horn or anything. Okay, so I totaly will do that anyways. I deserve it. XD
One of my favorite battle stories is on Cap 2, section 2 of dustbowl, I joined a match in its last 30 seconds or so and my team was doing horrible. I jumped in with Scout ran to the front and capped the point under fire for the match win. It was intense. And I'm amazing. (I should stop horn blowing now.)

People count Engi as a noob class, but a good Engineer who knows what to look for, where to be and how to set up a good defensable spot is worth his weight in Gold.

As a pyro, I like the blowback for the flame thrower. Burn a scout, then juggle til dead. And then laugh. Laugh like you've never laughed before.

The only class I suck with is Sniper really. Accuracy is fine, but my reaction time is shite, lol. By the time I pull the trigger I'm watching my brains spatter the person behind me.

yeah, so anyways, thats reson to fire it up on a more regular basis. I've been taking it easy on my laptop lately til I can get a tower. But balls to that! I haven't played in a good long while, and I hear change is good.

Let me know if you're ready for a match! I play PC version btw. :]
