I really enjoy that the tf2 blog entry for the release of these avatars is 1. Written by soldier and 2. Implies that these are photos taken by a photographer which just makes engineers even funnier to me
this is one of my favorite things I've ever drawn - from around 2019. Spy and Sniper in the style of Smile For Me! I loved playing with the style, techniques, and textures that Yugsly implemented in the game, and I really think the iconic, dramatic shapes of TF2 characters are very well-suited to it!
