Our love for mashups is well documented, as recently as this past weekend we combined photoshop and video games to make special valentines just for gamers. Today we found an amazing piece of art from T03nemesis via Deviant Art.

"Team Fortress Fan Girls" features the 9 classes found in Team Fortress 2 depicted as women characters. His inspiration for his character choices range from the Olympics, the movie Aliens, anime, his friends' ideas, and even some "crazy bitch [he] saw walking down the street".

It appears that he will be selling hi-res prints of these for $20 US at some point and he suggests sending him a note to order one.



Artist's Comments:

The point of this little project was to create *unique* female characters for the 9 classes of teamfortress 2.
There has been fanart of lineups of the cast as girls, but i feel that the cast doesnt translate well with just a simple gender-swap. So i designed a new character, with a new personality, look and ethnicity for each class.

Allright time to give away secret inspirations for the characters.

Pyro, orignal idea, the mask was from "Lila" from "Dexter".

Engi, i got the idea from the chick in Transformers movie working on a car, i thought a girl grease-monkey would be cool.

Spy, this character "sprocket" from the viewtiful joe anime.

Heavy, i was stuck on dis ones for a while, my friend suggested looking at a character "mili" from trigun, so i got the idea of the coat from that.

Sniper, "Yoko" from the anime "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann".

Scout, the olympics haha.

Soldier, butch chick from "Aliens" this one is pretty blatant i think.

Demo, some crazy bitch i saw walking down the street.

Medic, she originally looked like a nurse, my friend said "give her scrubs dumb-ass" and it kinda fell together after.
