A character design from a time when I was playing a lot more Team Fortress 2. I’ve always loved the simple art style of the game, and wanted to come up with something inspired by it. The gist was to create a fast, strong, pirate archetype, with a simple palette that could work in the game.
It was a lot of fun, definitely the kind of project I can see myself doing again at some point. Just need to think of another game that needs an additional pirate 😉.
