An interesting read about TF2's art style.

Very good!

very interesting

I never really realized how close TF2's style is to precisionism. Those paintings are pretty much spot-on for TF2, and google image search brings up even more.

We should get this guy to write something at Nodraw.net

Precisionism is an especially good match for the Source engine as well. It allows for the world geometry to be inorganic and stiff, which is a necessity when everything is brush based and optimization depends on lots of straight lines and right angles. Imagine, for example, trying to create a quirky, cartoony world full of skewed angles and rounded-off corners in Source. It wouldn't work very well, if it would work at all. (I'm using that as an example because it's another "unique, unrealistic" style one might try to capture in a game.)
