Shadowplay: SaltyandSweet's Team Fortress mobile
One of Valve's most renowned character design theories, evident in all recent multiplayer games from Team Fortress to Left 4 Dead, is in creating each figure as a shape so distinct that they're instantly recognizable from nearly any distance, in any light.
And, taking that idea to its logical extreme, Etsy seller SaltyandSweet has given life to the unofficial official Team Fortress 2 mobile, laser cut and "extremely lightweight [to stay] in motion with even the slightest breeze," and perfect for toddler-training tomorrow's jarate-tossing champs today.

This is highly reminiscent of Aubrey Beardsley's "The Lacedaemonian Ambassadors".
Perhaps that's intentional.

Hmm, reminded me more of the silhouette cut-out work of Kara Walker. Quite different subject matter, though...
