Description

A huge shout out to :devabubisgrl: for keeping me sane during the entire process of this and inspiring me to make this piece, as well as put time and effort into it. I love our talking breaks otherwise I would have collapsed from exhaustion from working on this straight. So thank you!

 

Inspired by the song Shatter Me by Lindsey Stirling and Lzzy Hale: www.youtube.com/watch?v=49tpIM…

 

The title is actually a line from the song and is particularly what inspired me to give him wings. Which yes, they are dove wings~

 

Also, the scene is inspired by the music video, which features the violinist, Lindsey Stirling, inside of a snow globe type thing on a pedestal. Obviously Medic is now on the pedestal, but I changed the pose to something not so ballet. Inside of the globe in the music video is also a little dresser with a stool that matches the ballerina theme. I replaced that with Medic’s operation table and heart monitor. When Lindsey looks out into the world outside the globe, she is frightened by the bats flying by, but when they fly through the light it is revealed they are butterflies flying around the globe instead of bats. I just replaced them with Medic’s beloved doves~

 

Anyway, I put a lot of time into this one, especially with attempting to draw shattered glass, snow, and frozen over surfaces. I’m rather happy with these results, especially because of such a large canvas. The lineart alone took me an hour or two, which is normally the time it takes for a single picture. As you can tell, anubisgrl kept me from getting too frustrated with the piece and I can’t thank her enough for that.

 

Also, if any of you viewed my sketch for this, you’ll notice that there are a few changes between the draft and this picture. For one, I had to adjust some of the anatomy, make his arms thicker and larger hands. Also adjusted the angle he was holding the violin bow. Moved his one hand closer down the neck of the violin as well. But other than that, everything compares well!

 

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this!

Wow! This is a best TF2 fan art I've ever seen in my life. I love that Medic playing his violin without a shirt He's so very handsome! e.deviantart.net/emoticons/m/m… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="578" title="Meow :3"/> This would be an inspiration of the musical Fiddler on the Roof. It'll be a classic if Medic was in the play. My dream is dancing myself as he fiddle and sings. It'll be a music to my ears! And I love that Medic has an angel wings and his doves were flying around to their owner. Imagine, if I could dance with him, it'll be a romantic dance and the TF2 gang will see me and Medic dancing and they'll be happy.

I have had the exact same view with the song but as the artist of the ballerina. I have no intention of stealing but would you mind if I share your basic idea of the artwork?
As a critic I think it has everything you wished for with very minor mistakes, not that I am one to talk.

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like it. X3 

And I actually already knew of Lindsey from awhile back, but when she showed me this new song and explained how her friend told her it reminded her of Medic, I instantly fell in love with the music video and wanted to create something of Medic with it. Besides, though Medic may not be the TF2 character I'm in love with, he is a stunning character to work on and experiment with.

Oh gosh that's funny because I also knew her without realizing it, a friend was playing music on his iPad while we were camping out (THE IRONY) and her I think 2012 album happened to be playing

Same here with Medic xD He is too fantabulous to not be worked with

Who are you in love with, this is vital information

I actually found Lindsey through the a cappella group Pentatonix. She worked with them on a version of Radioactive which was simply beautiful! Ever since then I've been addicted to her music. XD

I mean, seriously, look at that mug of his and his little stubble? How could you not want to work with this guy. XD

I will not give you any information that will be used against me.

Absolutely not. I think he's the one with the most ladies frankly. (Gosh, I can't use any words with frank in it now. XD) He even beats out the Spy from all the people I've met Medic seems to be the favorite.
I think you ninja Soldier powers will be enough to see who I'm in love with. XD

I've got to be frank with you, Medic is a really good character to RP as. Plus, he's easy and really fun to draw. XD
BE CONFIDENT! Yes it is. *sobs and rolls away*

Ah, that is perfectly alright though! XD I tend to make him over enthusiastic and absorbed in his work. Even when he's supposed to be relaxing he pushes this little portable lab cart and calls everyone dummkopfs as the run by him. Especially Scout. XD
