I am a huge fan of Valve's Team Fortress 2 (on the PC of course!) and as such, making fan art was something that compelled me.  So I made this vector of the spy (my favorite class). Vector, is a fancy word for "scalable graphic" which just means that you can re-size the original to any size and it won't lose any of its quality (like a billboard or something).  Below are 3 shots, 100% size (original size), a mid-level shot, and an extremely close shot (click it to see the full size); these are to show off the detail and demonstrate the properties of a vector (notice how the edges don't get jagged like a digital picture would if you were to enlarge it)  I hope you enjoy!:
 

Thats cool, I always wondered how they stretched an image to a huge size without completely fucking it up.

QUITE cool!

Looks great

Gradient meshes would make it really nice (though those things are fucking ridiculous to manage). 
 
Illustrator is fun. I have a couple of pieces of my own that I'll plug.

That's talent! If you do another one, can I make a request?

Thanks for the comments guys :)  Glad you like it.

Pretty good duder. I really need to bone up on my illustrator skills. Never seem to find the time.

Can't you just make the image huge and maintain the quality when downsizing it? >_>

That's a really cool picture. I'm getting a real Pink Panther feel from this silouette.

Nothing special, you just pen-tooled over it. Draw something original and I'll give you some credit.

Eh, try adding some props or something to it, make it less generic.
 
Maybe a heavy with a hole in his back at his feat, a chair he's sitting in, or some other things.

I don't really think I want your credit. "
