Train of thought "Love Is Like A Bottle Of Gin..." Links for FAME people They Tell Stories Ffffudging it slightly On having a rank Bunny People will see me and cry Let's all go fly a kite One Word
J.C Leyendecker and Team Fortress 2
Friday, March 14, 2008
At FAME I talked a bit about drawing inspiration from new sources and one of the things I touched on was TF2's art originating from old school commercial illustration. Alas I couldn't find very good examples from trusty Google Image Search, but now (a day late) I've found Valve's slide deck about the design process (PDF), which is worth checking out. Although the second half gets crazy and algorithmic. Anyway, PICS - click to see full size.

Thanks for this, the slideshow was a great read and as you saw I gratuitously stole your images!
Thanks again for the lecture the other week, and if you're still after artists for your next project I can wing a portfolio your way. - 12:06 AM
