I don't play video games and I WANT TO PLAY TF2. This is a big deal. BIG. Also, major props for styling the look after the art of J. C. Leyendecker. If you don't know who that is look him up in a BOOK. The internet doesn't have very many pictures, and even fewer are good looking. Leyendecker man, just to give you an idea, this is the man to whom ROCKWELL bowed (btw, Norman Rockwell was considered a GOD of Illustration). So. Kind of a big deal. All things considered, this game was in production for... 9 years? There's gotta be enough material there to put out a book. Come on. I'd buy it. And you know you would too. :3 Dude, Valve needs to release an “art of” book RIGHT NOW. I don’t play video games and I WANT TO PLAY TF2. This is a big deal. BIG.

It's amazing every time I think of how they can use super-stylised characters for the game. When I first say the game, I was blown away.

Yes I want an artbook too valve! Portal is fun looks like TF2 shows that West Developers shooters need not be all realistic shooters. Yes I want an artbook too valve!

I've got a number of games loaded on my PC, but I have a feeling most of them will fall by the wayside for some time as I satisfy my new-found Team Fortress 2 craving :) BTW, where did the artwork above come from? I'd love to get my hands on a copy of the Pyro's Flamethrower poster!
