"The Scout was one of the first TF2 classes we worked on when we decided to try out a more stylized approach to the game," writes Walker. "As a result, his concept art is further afield, and in the eyes of our artists, much more embarrassing." The concept art was apparently drawn by longtime Valve artist Dhabih Eng.

Adds Walker: "Dhabih threatened us in various ways not to show anyone his Scout concepts, so we told him we wouldn't do that. Luckily, he doesn't read the internet much, preferring to spend his time sipping lattes at locally owned organic vegan coffee shops, so if you don't tell him you've seen the this concept art, we won't."
