Hands. Let's go.
So, to start off, you might be wondering: How can we actually get accurate measurements of the characters and the objects that we're comparing to them?
Blender gives you a real-world measurement for your objects, which is so damn nice. Having worked in Unity and a few other game engines, I always found it super frustrating when a game engine refused to use real-world measurements, and just used its own vague definition of 'units' instead.
So, let's see how tall the hisanimations Ludwig port is...
Oh, shit, he imports at 27.3 feet tall. Yeah that's a little inaccurate. It's interesting to note that the hisanimations map ports are also sized by these proportions, which makes those maps fucking huge. But the maps and the characters can go together without needing any resizing, so it works.
But not for our purposes right now. We need Ludwig to be about 6'1", his canon height. That's the size of that gray plane I've put in the lower left of that image there. (Don't worry, I also include metric measurements from here on.)
Fortunately, there's an easy fix for this - just scale him down until he's as tall as the plane.
So now he's the size that we need him to be. And now we can see how big his hands really are.
You didn't think I wasn't gonna bring the BIG MAN to this party, did you?
Note that here, the Y axis is the height (or length, if you prefer), but on some of the objects we'll be looking at, the height is actually going to be the Z axis. It's due to mismatched standards between different engines. Anyway.
Ready to compare some everyday real-world-sized objects to these magnificent yaoi hands?
... not that grizzly bear paws are 'everyday objects', but I knew I HAD to make that comparison.
Anyway, just, damn. I knew their hands were big, but somehow they're actually even bigger than I thought they were.
There are vast multitudes of naughty jokes and theories I could start making here. But I don't think I even need to type them out at this point.
the bananas were chosen for a reason
who needs sleep when I have an 8cm tall freak who needs torturing and to have them experience the horrors of living?
not me that’s who.
Hey! I have question! What crab squad thinks about Celina? What they like/dislike about her. What is their opinion about her?
(Ya can write, no need for artwork if you don't want to ✌️)
Alright! Time for me to break my fingers and overanalyze my own characters :D Kandy🍬 & Celina🧣 Kandy is stuck to Celina like glue. Ever since Li first interacted with her, which was just her returning her to Crimson, Kandy had grown an attachment, like how a baby duck imprints on the first thing they see. If Kandy sees Li across the room, she will waddle her way over to her, even if she doesn't realize she could end up being seen or, worse, squished. Her favorite part about Li would oddly be her hair, as she would just like how fluffy it looks. Kandy would sometimes even draw for Celina, whether that be pictures of Li herself or even just objects she's seen. Kandy loves to hug but always forgets her spikes, so that's sometimes a bit of an ouchie. The only thing she would dislike would be whenever Li would have to go. She'd sob a little bit, not a full-out tantrum, but just a slight sniffle. If Li were to knit Kandy anything, Kandy would be seen holding onto it in her sleep the next day. She's just a little baby after all, and she doesn't know the real dangers of the world. Coralie💙 & Celina🧣 Oof, boy. Where to start? Coralie would be secretly jealous of Celina since she has extremely low self-esteem (SHUT UP NO I DON'T! STOP SPREADING LIES!) So she would do all kinds of things to try and "one-up" her. Coralie would also most likely chat up a storm as well. Always telling her made-up stories on how she went on epic borrowing journeys. But they were anything but. If Celina were to give Coralie a gift, Coralie would accept the gift but then go on about, "Oh! You shouldn't have! Really, you shouldn't! I have 20 of these!" But next thing you know, she treasures that gift like it's her life. BUT OH. IF CELINA DOES THE WHOLE "Alright. Show me" whenever Coralie starts to go off about her courage. Coralie would just be like
Anthropophobia at its finest. Brother Arañito 😈 & Celina🧣 Oof. And here I thought Coralie's and Celina's interaction would be kind of rough! Arañito loves pulling pranks on anybody, and I mean ANYBODY. So Li would be on the pranking list. And it would usually end with either one of them going through a near-death experience. Due to him being only 10, he would be seen more as an annoying cousin. But don't get it twisted; at the end of the day, Arañito is just a kid who wants the world to be a bit more silly and less "we're all going to die." And the whole "a lucky as heck child and that one adult friend who was tasked with looking after them and ends up in a wacky situation trying to save them" that you mentioned in my ask? Yup. SUMS IT UP. LMAO. But in the end, Arañito secretly does think Li is pretty badass. He would even prank BLU Sniper by hiding his jar lids and tell Li about it, trying to get her to laugh. Sister Araignée ⚰️& Celina🧣 Human haters.
Sister Araignée would probably meet Celina in the middle of one of her massacres. Since Sister Araignée is the most violent out of all of the family members (right next to Crimson), sometimes in a sort of sick and weird way of thanking Li for looking after her brother, she'd give her some human teeth she ripped out of some poor bastard's mouth. Li has every freakin' right to think Sister Araignée is creepy looking...because she is creepy. Like, genuinely. She is...eugh. I mean... at least Sister Araignée wouldn't want to rip Li's skin off if her brother likes her. Sister Araignée would barely talk to her but whenever she would, it'd be the most unpredictable moments...like imagine Celina trying to get through the walls of the base and she just hears, "𝔅𝔢𝔩𝔩𝔢 𝔰𝔬𝔦𝔯é𝔢 𝔫'𝔢𝔰𝔱-𝔠𝔢 𝔭𝔞𝔰 ?" right behind her out of nowhere- Sister Araignée would obviously notice how off-put Li would be at first, so she'd keep her distance. But if she sees BLU Sniper making a slight comment to Li? ... HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO boy. I hope BLU Medic doesn't mind having to repair a broken nose...and teeth. Crimson 🦞 & Celina🧣 "..." "..." "..." "...You're interesting." 🦞 "...Um...thanks." 🧣 Yeah, surprise, Crimson is actually extremely socially awkward. She doesn't really know what to say in the moment, especially to someone that had the somewhat main mindset as her, with the whole mother feel. Crimson would obviously see that Celina doesn't really trust her at first and be a little rude at first, but Crimson would understand it. But as Crimson would show Celina more that they aren't that different, I'd like to think they'd chat about their past experiences over a bottle cap of wine. Crimson would tell Celina her stories about her whole voyage life before she ended up on the grounds of TeuFort. If Li needs a favor, Crimson wouldn't mind fulfilling it, since she looked out for the young ones of her family. So Crimson would also look out for anyone that Li cared about as well. "Your family is my family." (SPEED RUN THROUGH GREEN AND YELLOW CRABS :D) 🌺 Pualena & Celina🧣
Too trusting? Too friendly? How the FUCK are you alive? Pualena would just want to show Celina the shorelines of Banana Bay and even gift her with pieces of coconuts, wild berries, or even flowers. A bit TOO excited to see a new face. Might be overwhelming, honestly. 🍋 Citrus & Celina🧣 ...They hate each other. That's it. Citrus is WAY too sour and would just give Celina sass. Nuh-uh. It's not going to work out well. Especially if Citrus figures out about the whole BLU Sniper thing. She would clown the SHIT out of Li...and then it would end with a slight catfight. And immense apologies from their sibling, Lyle. Speaking of which- 🧠 Lyle & Celina🧣 🧠 "WHO ARE YOU!?" 🧣 "Jesus...calm down. I'm—" 🧠 "WHO!?" 🧣 "...I'm-" 🧠 "WHO!?!??!?" 🧣 "...yeah, no, I'm not doing this." 🧠 "...Wait, where are you going?!" 🧣 "Oh my fucking god..." After...that. Lyle would slowly lower their guard and calm down. But then Lyle would then go on about how "technology is the best way to combat against the humans!" And even show off the many machines they've made out of scrap metal and destroyed bits of the robot mercs. Lyle would then go on about all kinds of ramblings about technology, which Citrus would have to come in and smack the back of their head in order for them to shut up. But if Lyle were to find out Li interacted with ANY of the humans, OOOH BOY. They'd immediately quarantine themselves or even just stray away. 🧠 "DON'T YOU KNOW THEY CAN SMELL EACH OTHER FROM MILES AWAY!? YOU MIGHT BE LURING ONE HERE RIGHT NOW!!!"
🚬 Mr. P & Celina🧣 "..." "..." 🚬"...Humans?"
🚬 Mr. P & Celina🧣 "..." "..." 🚬"...Humans?" 🧣 "Unfortunately."
🚬"...Hm...Have you ever thought of just simply climbing down their throat and cutting out their Adam's apple from the inside?" 🧣 "...huh." He's small...but has a lot of knowledge.
ONE MORE TIME!
(Also yes I updated Kandy’s voice, it my character, I can do what I want, mwahahaha)
giving gifts...
based on this (very low quality) valve christmas postcard
YOOOOOOOO!!! THAT'S AWESOME!!
Oh and these two are such silly guys
Boys night!
Pyro got free reigns with black and white face paint and the playlist
Immediately after the photo was taken ⬇️
And so he went and got boned-
Apparently i planned this back in like 2022 but dropped it for some reason so here I am instead of working on my portfolio lol I wanna say I had fun doing so many different poses and expressions for Medic but I would be remissed if I didnt say I'm fking sick of it either lolol Also rest in peace to the best cop dad, Andre Braugher
I'm almost finished with this piece! (Sketch under the cut)
Scout is injured. Everyone else is busy (mostly), so Spy himself suggests to carry him. But he seems to be in a completely different place in his mind :)
It's Spy's imagination so there is Spy crab plush. It's so cute, I wanna it///
And I think Spy's perfectly fine with Scout ruining his rich suit with his blood… at least for now ❤️
-----
Can't do a damn post without even a little bit of Sniperscout in it. God, I'm obsessed…sorry
I like to think they wouldn't even consider leaving Scout to "die" and respawn later. Too protective… Or forgetful? Who knows
----
If Scout was conscious (he passed out and they didn't notice 😭), he would wish ladies were fighting over him like his dad and "best friend" do.
