TF2 Art? I guess anyone can do it, then, huh.

After reading my lustful sighs on Twitter with regards to the new Blighted Beak Team Fortress 2 item, a friend offered to swap me his in exchange for a custom spray. His request: An aggressive-looking Scout.

Scout Spray Inks

These are the approved inks, he’ll be receiving the finished version shortly. (I won’t be uploading that anywhere, since it’s custom work, and making it available to everyone would kinda defeat the purpose.)

I do hope you enjoy this sort of thing. More TAZ soon.

Flappers are very annoying to find clothing reference for, you know.

Most Google Image Searches for “flapper” or “flapper dress” turns up Halloween costumes or stripper outfits. Which are way, way not accurate. It was still the 1920s, no one was wearing micro-minis. And there was a lot less fringe than you probably think.

Stuff like this is far more accurate, although much nicer than anything Flannery can afford. Still useful, though.

Further props to OMG That Dress! and Louise Brooks For help dressing Templar’s favorite Pastime-in-denial.

Let’s FAQ.

Hi, guys. I’ve gotten a lot of new followers over the past week or so, I figured I’d answer a few of the questions I see coming up.

How do you pronounce “Scipio?”

SKIP-ee-oh. Although the proper Latin pronunciation is “SIP-ee-oh,” nobody pronunces it like that. This is America. We like to fuck up pronunciations. We are super good at that.

So the short form, Scip, is just “Skip.” I guess you could call him “Scippy,” but I don’t think even his mom does that.

What’s Reagan’s accent?

Reagan is from New York City. Probably Queens. I don’t really wanna nail down the borough without visiting one day, though.

Why are you suddenly updating so much!?

Lotta reasons.

-My new Cintiq shaves about 4 or 5 hours off of production time.
-I’ve been slacking hard due to other projects and feel bad about it.
-More updates means more hits means more money from my ad banners.
-This comic is gonna be super-long and the faster I update, the faster it’ll be finished.
-Kinda just wanted to see if I could do it.

Are you gonna keep up this pace?

Not sure. I’ll try, though. But no matter what, there will probably never be a TAZ page on the weekend. Just FAQ posts, art posts, that kinda thing.

Anyway, time to do Monday’s update. Later.
