Make yourself happy. Buy our hats.

- Mann. Co

-------------

This started as a sketch of a birthday gift for my sister, a happy Femscout, but I wanted to show a reason for her to leap happily... so I started adding the hats. Make it funnier (?) also to reference TF2 fans' obsession with hats. It turned out like some sort of advertisement? A Mann Co ad maybe. xD Now I'm kinda tempted to headcanon Femscout as the model for Mann Co (heck, all the mercs can be models too... they look good).

I learned a lot about hats though. I googled the most valuable hats in TF2 for reference and kinda surprised to see some of them reaching really high prices (like one unusual Soldier's hat at ~USD4K... it's amazing the length some people would go for hats in TF2). This was also a good practice for drawing gestures, facial features and moving objects suspended in air (whatever the term is). The composition isn't really good though, need to practice more. And on that not I also need to remind myself to not draw on class notes... the space is so limited.
