ok no joke, I was at a barbecue hosted by the guy who sculpted this character, he worked for gearbox shortly before leaving to pursue Dota 2 workshop stuff full time.
He worked on this character and for two weeks straight the art director kept coming back, again and again asking to make his head a little smaller and his body a little bigger. Montana supposedly looked pretty normal at first but eventually evolved into what we see now.
honestly the saddest part of this story is that the dude quit gearbox to work on dota 2 workshop stuff, because evidently making free shit for valve on the off chance that they MIGHT pay you pays better than working for gearbox
He got a skin in CS:GO and then used the money to buy a HOUSE
He actually works for Arena Net now, so it all works out in the end.
I am Silver Tongue, I am an artist. I have many characters and you can check out my art in the art tag. I occasionally practice witchcraft though I don't do anything too complicated. I am girl 2 and don't know what else to put here.
