Really? I toned them down quite a lot. It wasn't my intention to exaggerate, but my goal was to draw Agents that have the necessary stuff with them to deal with a number of situations. But maybe it was a bit much?
Per request of Neshomeh: Agent pictures. To be found on my DeviantArt account.

I like them, especially your drawing style, but I feel like the Assassin and the Bad Slasher are a bit overwhelmed with the various bits and bobs of weaponry, gadgets, and the like.

It reminds me a bit of a soldier in combat gear, actually. I'm surprised they aren't wearing backpacks. If you're going into a fic, you need some basic equipment; and what they're carrying is pretty basic--weapons, exorcism gear, bedroll, backpack.
Maybe the "crowded" impression is coming from the way the agents have (sensibly) strapped a lot of things to their belts, so that most of the equipment is clustered there.
I like the pictures, though. The Bad Slasher's face makes me wonder (and know I would regret finding out) exactly what she's just seen.
And about the Bad Slasher's expression... I had to think of a few missions Trojanhorse and Paddlebrains went through. That enough to explain it?
Especially if they're modeling all the gear that would normally be split between two agents in a team.
The Bad Slasher is especially busy visually, but some of that is the outfit, which I actually like a lot.
Elorie, could you do some labeling on the gear (preferably without spelling mistakes) for the Wiki? Not necessarily for everything, especially if some things are obvious (e.g. the bedroll and flash patch probably don't need labels), but stuff like the CADs, or what's in the backpack.
Again, thanks. These are really cool, and I'm astonished at how quickly you got them done!

Sorry they took so long. Will you add the pictures to the wiki? I am not quite sure how that is done.
I feel silly now.
