Description Done in about seven hours spread for 5-6 days for a competition [link] devoted to the game "Team Fortress 2" (here is the official website [link] )

I used this image [link] for main interior's lines.
All remaining I has drawn by myself using nothing but some references: these for the sentry gun - [link] [link]
And this one for the intelligence case - [link]

P.S. no "special brushes" or any textures had been used.

A little absolutely needed update: thanks to all of you for kind comments, they're making me to do more art like this.
I'm writing it only here instead of replying to everyone's comment simply because I don't know words with which it would be possible to answer such compliments
Thanks to all of you who favorited this piece, may you enjoy it eternally

And here is another entry for that contest:

Thank you!

Wow that's probably the best Tf2 fanart I've seen and it doesn't even have any of the characters in it
Great lighting and an interesting atmosphere. Probably what the bases would look like now after 40+ years of disrepair.

The setting looks like a ruined old Aperture facility from the earlier levels of Portal 2.

I was listening to the Portal 2 OST when I looked at this (specifically, "I'm Different"). It just broke the EPIC meter. If it was just the picture, it would have broken it too...

BRILLIANT!

I like how it's kinda grungy and sort of spooky-looking, and then of course, everyone who plays TF2 knows what happened. That sentry gives me chills... Over all, I give it a 10! (I'd write this in the critique, but I'm not a "paid" member.)

A sentry is still doing it's duty... even after it's purpose is long gone. I'm not the only one to get chills from seeing this sight, probably, especially after considering the fates of everyone else involved...

I adore the work you did with the lighting, and textures look great too. It feels very sad, one last sentry with no more use guarding the intelligence for a war long gone.

This is absolutely beautiful, I suddenly feel extremely inspired. If you don't mind I may attempt to make a modded version of Turbine in this style. But obviously only with your consent!

Hieronymus7Z In reply to KitMan1973 [2011-09-19 13:01:01 +0000 UTC]

Seriously mate, it sounds quite damn epic.
If that's what is needed - you have my permission then.
Actually, I could even help you with some things like texturing or else. Even provide some additional info and maybe paint some sketches for every single area.
Also, if you know how to do and manipulate things like lighting, shadows and stuff, using Hammer, quite well - well, it's absolutely awesome.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

KitMan1973 In reply to Hieronymus7Z [2011-09-19 17:33:39 +0000 UTC]

Well I'm pretty proficient with Hammer and I've done a lot of stuff concerning Battle damage etc. in it ( In fact I'm making an entire TF2 map designed around just that) and with some custom textures and the fact that I already have the turbine VMF it'd be rather easy. And on my end it really wouldn't be that much work, but any resource material ( sketches floor plans etc.) would really go a long way.
I can then get on making the altered version in Dev textures and after that all that's needed is Textures

Great
Then just tell me when you are ready to start or something - I'll be doing stuff for that map as I'll have some free time, British Engineer.
Feel free to contact me via skype (it's "Hieronymus7Z" as well) if you have an account - kinda easier to catch me there.

This is so brilliant. The shaft of light, the sentry, the intelligence case~ its really a fantastic environmental piece. I love the tiny details too. You did a great job of giving the picture texture and life.

I can hear the subtle, rhythmic beeping of the tiny sentry echoing in the emptiness.
When I can hear a picture, I know the artist has done their job well.

As i wrote in the description: "I don't know words with which it would be possible to answer such compliments"
Yours - are simply mindblowing. All that feedback have made me shy. Extremely
I think now i must take care to understand what i've done as good as all of you (you especially) are saying.


Thank you

This is the most amazing piece of TF2 related artwork I've ever laid eyes on. It's so perfectly and stunningly detailed! The lighting is spot-on, and the fact that you turned Turbine into a broken wasteland is a terrific idea.
Love the little mini-sentry -- catches the eye nicely. makes me wonder where the Engineer that built it is...
