Let's get back to it. Apologies for the inactivity in art so far this year. Since March, my personal life got busy with major events and moving into new positions. Things settled down in July and I wanna get back into making art; no guarantees I'll post twice a month now. #art #sona #oc

If there's one thing people love when criminals get jailed, it's when their dirty mugs get released. While we're working on the first part, we have a lot of dirty mugs. Valve Portrait commission batch for: MONKEYBALLCHAMP Arcticman Big Chief Griffers @mrpoke.bsky.social SQU1DFR3NZY #art #sfm #tf2

This month was awfully busy and I'm very out of it today to make a illustration before tomorrow so to make up for it, a doodle to celebrate the 25th anniversary of my favorite Nicktoon. #art #invaderzim #zim25

Imagine this: you're out in the forest at night, under moonlight, fairies suddenly appear over you, they lift you airborne, and carry you to the moon. Sounds like your thing? Then you're gonna love my newest TF2 workshop contribution, Unusual Effect: Fairy Familiars! 🔗below! #art #TF2 #SFM

Promotional poster for my newest Team Fortress 2 workshop item contribution, unusual effect: "Fairly Familars." It features a Pyro, out in the woods at night and under the full moon, wearing a wizard hat, black face wrap, glowing yellow eyes, and a cloak collar (Seared Sorcerer), with fairies flying around Pyro's head.

The amount of whiplash watching this for the first time was actually like getting flung out of a car through the windshield. Absolutely unexpected coming from all the previous shorts.

Congrats to my friend on getting her first few frontpages on @newgrounds.com! She's been really "overjoyed" to have received them.

It is with deep regret that I must inform you that, because of the inevitable progress of time, my birthdays, until further notice, no longer have a funny number and thus will no longer be funny. The provided picture is of me at the moment of realizing it. #art #birthday #oc

An illustration of myself grieving over a birthday cake with candels of "26" and a party hat that also says "26." I am grieving because while "24" and "25" from previous birthdays are naturally funny, every other number afterward isn't, and I am saddened by the realization that I can't have naturally funny birthdays anymore.

To fulfill my quota for the month, I'm taking this opportunity to finally share some Valve portrait commissions I made but never posted. Been sitting on them for over a year so may as well now. Commissions for: CoyBoy (Last documented name on file; Steam) 🔞OMNIPOTENCE🔞(Twitter) #art #sfm #tf2

Portrait of "Coyboy's" requested Pyro loadout from Team Fortress 2 (2007). Wearing a fireman's helmet with an effect of a heavy rain storm (Brigade Helm with Stormy Storm unusual effect), a cracked bull head skull (Pyromancer's Mask), and a heavy, loaded coat with a vest and turtleneck, and bottlecap buttons (Firebrand).

Portrait of OMNIPOTENCE's anime-like take on the community made "FemPyro" character from Team Fortress 2 (2007). Sporting team-colored hair, a gas mask that covers the mouth, a skin-tight fire-retardant suit, and a prominent, voluptuous chest.

For the new year, I want to be more creative and to draw and share more art so I'm making it a resolution to create and share at least 2 or 3 pieces of art per month, 1 one of which has to be an illustration. I want to be creative again, and I hope yall with down with me. Happy New Year. #art

Good news everyone! The impersonator has ceased and I am no longer being impersonated (or under federal protection)! But ownership of said account could still be untrustworthy. Keep ye guard up, and in the meantime, maybe hope those reports will still do something.

Emergency non-art post! I have been informed that I have fallen victim to being impersonated by scammers on Steam. If you get added by me and you see thy with all the features of a usual scammer account, tis not me but of a scammer. I would never ask for items or account info. Please report it.

While this may seem unusual for me to post here but I just wanted to share, I've literally found this hat as I was playing TF2 today. I can not believe it. There could not have been a better hat, nor could it have been a better time. This warms my heart greatly. Thank you, game.

An in-game screenshot of Team Fortress 2 showing that I have found the hat "Texas Ten-Gallon." The same hat worn by the Engineer in the portrait I just made previously. An unparalleled coincidence.

3DylanStar @3dylanstar.bsky.social · 20/07/2025

Rather than bumping this post directly, I wish to express my gratitude for the amount of interest this post garnered here. While not as much on Twitter or piror post here, it's still a lot and I'm much thankful for it. Thank you greatly. Since plenty asked for it, here's the comparison. Cheers. ☕

A comparison between the original portrait I made in 2020 and the portrait I've just made in 2025. Demonstrating five years of progress.

Five years ago this month, I created my first-ever Valve Portrait following my participation in the Team Fabulous 2 Reanimated collab. In celebration of the occasion, I remade it from scratch. Fully remastered. Thank you all so much for 5 years of portrait making. [2020-2025] #art #sfm #tf2

Portrait of the main BLU team, Texas ten-gallon wearing, guitar-playing Engineer from the memorable Team Fortress 2 machinima, "Team Fabulous 2." Originally made in 2020, it has been remade and remastered in celebration of its 5th anniversary.

To clarify to start, these portraits aren't "drawings", in a technical sense, nor were they made by drawing the figure first then painting it out. They're made by painting over a render made in SFM, then bringing it into Clip Studio Paint (preferred art program), then finished in Photoshop. (2/8)

3DylanStar @3dylanstar.bsky.social · 23/03/2025

Bumping with the NG link! www.newgrounds.com/art/view/3dy... I still ain't real comfortable with inking. I still like having the sketch fill that role, so forgive the less-than-favorable inking quality and stylization.

The original sketched version of the art above.

3DylanStar @3dylanstar.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

Bumping! As I explained in my recent Newgrounds post, SFM art no longer has a home on Newgrounds. Therefore, the high-quality cuts of my SFM art are now at Bluesky. And I can tell you are already here enjoying them, so cheers to you. Here's some alts for that. Apologies for the inconvenience still.

Ditto as the portrait seen above except with no heart rate monitor and blood splatters on the coat and the background behind him.

Ditto as the portrait seen above except for the grid with the heart rate monitor mimicking a real-life heart rate monitor.

Ditto as the portrait seen above except with no lit cigar.

Ditto as the portrait seen above except with 3 golden stars on the helmet.

A congratulatory portrait is rewarded to these good(?) men(?) as they recognize while there are ways to get a mugshot cheaper (free), they've instead forced an autist artist to make it for them. Valve Portrait Commissions for (In order): fezzy322 (Discord) Metalclone (^) schnapps (^) xhaides (^)

Portrait of Fezzy's Medic loadout in Team Fortress 2. Wearing a visor displaying a heart-rate monitor (The Flatliner), a black surgeon mask with a medic emblem (Physician's Procedure Mask), and a classic-like lab coat (Lavish Labwear).

Portrait of MetalClone's loadout in Team Fortress 2. Resembling that of a classic army general with a black colored helmet with three silver stars and a brown leather strip wrapped around the front brim (Armored Authority), a military suit with a tie (Fancy Dress Uniform), a service medal (Gentle Manne's Service Medal), and a lit cigar (Soldier's Stogie).

Portrait of schnapp's Scout loadout in Team Fortress 2. With a thick curl of hair on top, (Pomade Prince), a robotic superhero-like mask (The Bolt Boy), and a Japanese-like motorcycle jacket (The Flapjack).

Portrait of xhaides' Pyro loadout in Team Fortress 2. Equipping an aviator hat designed from a reindeer-unicorn with bells at the end of each flap (The Reindoonibeanie) and a heavy arctic suit (The Sub Zero Suit).

25 years ago, I got evicted from the womb. And for being such a good sport my mother was, she evicted another along with me. Happy "something funnier than 24" day.
