I drew this! I THINK this image is around 10 years old (i..draw EXACTLY same a decade later RIP) I’ve only found two other pieces of my old tf2 fanart - one is really funny so I wanna redraw that when I get a chance!

i know tf2 didnt start with much to it's plot-- but for this to be some of the earliest info on the cast, this guy from boston sure does count like a frenchman taught him how ToT

thanks for the info links 👍 reblogging with the addition

Also to note: to those replying "Oh that's not that bad" fail to understand how dangerous for artists and creatives having any sort of AI-Generated inclusion for game development and publishing.

Or maybe forgotten that AI-Generated content 'creates' directly off often stolen material from creatives, and how these tools have very rapidly become twisted in the wrong hands in today's time and continue to be misused. Or how this is very sadly different from Valve's demeanor towards modders and fans years ago.

I didn't make this post with the intention to spread out-of-proportion fear, but because this news is important and needs to be let known where Valve's current morals lie. Aside from arguably valid copyright concerns, these kinds of harsh actions towards modders and creatives are concerning.

Take a stand against AI, support your fellow artists and indie game makers, and don't forget this.
