Artist's Comments

My Sniper OC as his usual neurotic, paranoid self. 'Lowe', actually Lou Jian, stowed away on a ship from China to escape the Cultural Revolution and found himself in Australia. Previously driven to poaching and stealing food out of desperation, he's eaten his fill of tasty outback wildlife - and up till recently was doing pretty well despite his status as an illegal immigrant.

Then he took payment for killing another outlaw, and found an even larger bounty on his own head, being an unlawful resident. The death penalty awaited him in China, so he was trapped until a mysterious sheila dressed in RED promised him steady employment and eventually Australian citizenship; if he would just sign the dotted line.

He did and duly received the former. Lowe's a constantly nervous wreck as he's still waiting on the latter. Until he gets it, he knows he's worth more dead than alive, and that every time he takes a break from the neverending death-and-respawn drudgery, EVERY Sniper, even those on his own side, probably WANTS HIM DEAD.

Pushing aside his collection of six or seven Razorbacks that he can't bring himself to use, Lowe raises his hands in desperation and explains that there are some Snipers he fears more than others.

"So there's this BLU witch named Tex [link] who'se gonna split me in half some day with her kukri and boil my entrails for some evil black magic ritual to summon the Arch-Demon-Spider-Emperor from the Darkest-Abyssal-Pits-of-Hellfire-Doom who will bring about the Apocalypse and the end of all humanity.....oh I did mention she likes spiders, didn't I?"

"And then there's this chubby RED bloke called Quinn [link] and his bloody pee jars. He draws FACES on them, and he...talks to them... and plays with them...and eats with them...and sleeps with them...OH GOD NO I DON'T WANNA EVEN THINK ABOUT THAT ANY FURTHER AAAAARGH!"

"[link] Cooper Bancroft's not that scary, until it dawned on me that I actually DON'T HAVE THE SLIGHTEST CLUE if he's really fighting for RED! I'd better stay out of his way, until he picks a shirt that *isn't* black."

"There is a tall, shadowy figure that looms above me in the canteen, a great, hairy ogre called Jezzy Micheals [link] who could probably pluck my head off with one hand. He's married a Medic, and the bounty on my head is just about right for a nice diamond ring."

"...and finally there's Doc Holliday [link] who's with BLU. He's a foreigner like me, but apparently he and his mangy hell-mutt are frightening even his own folks!"

"See that trapdoor in the ceiling, mate? That crawlspace's where I sleep at night."

Every Sniper wants him dead? Sounds like Doc Holliday :lol:

I like the guy's overall design. :)

Alistair: I get it. I get it. Just so you know, if the king ever asks me to put on a dress and dance the Remigold, I'm drawing the line. Darkspawn or no.
Archer Cousland: I don't know. That could be a great distraction.
:iconp0rtalman:
HAha!! nice one mate! :D

Peace means having a bigger stick than the other guy.
:icongreenzaku:
Thanks! Ah...phew...I've gone and updated the description to mention all the Snipers ;).
:icongreenzaku:
Thought I'd go ahead and draw a variety of Sniper OCs since all the canon ones look alike. In truth, I don't think I'll be doing fanart for quite a while...crafts are more my thing and drawing like this really took a lot out of me. But i'm glad you liked it.
:iconzhoutaisdayoff:
Oh wow, I had a sneaky feeling the one on the bottom right was Doc Holliday. :lol:

Well if people like you didn't draw such distinctive OCs, pictures like this simply would not be possible. Really, its fanart as much as its adding a hilarious edge to the fact that everyone and their neighbour's dog has a pet sniper in their head ;)
:iconzhoutaisdayoff:
Oh I have quite a few pet Snipers ;) Doc Holliday happens to be the only one that doesn't look like the default Sniper and the others have subtle differences.

:icongreenzaku:
Well I picked him out not just for looking distinctive but also because he's BLU (to make up the balance) and would inspire the most horror in Lowe, among your blue snipers.
:iconzhoutaisdayoff:
True enough, Holliday is a rather intimidating man. (Why Strangelove ever fell for him is a mystery)
