You know, the more I see these two characters I not only wish more that I had a male sibling I could actually spend dime with like this, but I also wish I could even remotely create characters this real feeling and lovable as they are. These guys really are the two best original characters made with TF2 bases I've ever seen. What actually inspired you to make them, if I may ask? In fact, what inspires you to make any of the unique characters you make with TF2 characters?

Let's just say that as a cartoonist I know a thing or two about good character compositions. Strict Soldier comic series required some positive characters in it, other than N-G aka the little robot

If I might ask, how exactly did you learn what are and aren't good character compositions? I've been planning on one day making a few improved versions of original TF2 characters and also making photos with characters on a different account, yet the most I've got is a Police unit made up of melee only, mixed team color cops all having some old verbal TF2 joke in their name, a Victorian clockwork mannequin, a seemingly immortal/omnipresent Toy Maker, and a psychotic watch maker. The last 3 I'm still working on to this day to refine their looks with them being the only ones I'm decently proud of, but as far as the prior and what ever I plan to do in the future, I cannot think of any ideas for actual good characters. I can make decent looking characters when I put enough time into them, but I cannot for the life of me give them a personality that actually truly brings them to life like you're able to do so seemingly effortlessly.
I apologize for the wall of text, I am just so curious as to what I could do to improve upon what to do about characterization, I never know what to do to give a character the essence that makes them pop.

The only reason I would know about stuff like that is because I've been watching tons of cartoons as a kid and personality build of each of them was tickling my fancy.
Can't really recommend you and guidelines, other than the one I actually made myself. Check this out!
How to create an interesting CharacterOC (Original Character) is something that sadly has a rare to no appearance in TF2 Fandom. People started to step out of the idea to create something truly original, once SFM gained on its popularity. These days most of the OCs (Which have a more accurate naming: FC – Fanmade Character) are described by a different set of cosmetic items slapped on a canon model. I’m one of the people who do that.
But that doesn’t mean your Character can’t be interesting.
PERSONALITY is what makes your characters interesting, but way too many people either limit themselves to one insignificant aspect, or they’re making a way too big variety of different behaviors.
So Happy, Sad, Serious, Shy, Friendly, Mean etc. are NOT a base for a character’s behavior. They’re merely one of many attributes.

Also known as the very core of every personality. People change over time d

Always hard to do character interaction like this with awkward posing. XP for me at least.
You did a great job!
