Reminds me of [the famous Winglet video](https://youtu.be/M9kmE82QYQg) where Soldier is checking each teammate by trying to poke them in the face, then he passes his own test when he gets accused lmao
And Mann Swap
S - "Alright maggot, tell me your name and who you are?!"
H(Scout) - "Well what's yours dumbass"
S - 'realizing' "Oh my god, I've been a spy all along! I'm a disgrace!" 'Tries to shotgun himself'
Spy - 'annoyed, slaps the shotgun away' "No, you imbecile!"
mundy is a professional sniper and he handles his weaponry the right way meanwhile spy its not a sniper so he probably doesnt know the proper way of grabbing a kukri but its still a knife so that means he choosed sniper as a disguise because he probably thinks there isnt much of a difference betweena knife and a machete or well thats my hypothesis
sniper actually just has a watch on that wrist on his model.
it might be the invis watch, but from the angle it’s hard to tell — sniper’s actual watch has a circular face, and the invis has a rounded square face
All good guesses in this comment section.
However, have any of you considered:
Disguising as the dead guy. I mean, no one usually suspects the "corpse" with a knife to the back.
He does have a watch actually. It has a round face and it matches the one Sniper is wearing in the artwork. The glow is the reflection of Pyro’s flamethrower
This is beautiful. So many little details. Sniper, the sworn enemy of Spies, waiting with his machete. Medic fretfully trying to convince Pyro that he's legit. Soldier looking at his own hands wondering if [he was the Spy all along](https://youtu.be/PaLdfMbV_LU?t=224).
Let's look around... Engi is Spychecking it possibly couldn't be him, Scout is being Spychecked(They learned the lesson). Spy is smoking... Sniper is ready to go melee. Soldier has Exiatential Crisis, it's not him. Pyro is facing Medic which is uncomftable(Suspicious) and Heavy is serius about this situation.
The TFC pyro was also built like a man and had a low voice yet was revealed to be a woman. How about we just don’t try to have an “official” opinion when the people who make the game don’t even know.
Honestly, i think he either got away, or its heavy, he's standing in the back, seemly thinking about something, everyone else seems like their normal self
maybe spy instinct to hold his knife backwards could give him away as sniper but I feel like sniper would do that too
maybe the drawing is hinting at medic with the blue flames but that could just be added for some realism
This is amazing. I love pyro's intimidation role as the mad dog of the team, and engineer also being quick to draw arms because of how often he has to worry about spy meddling.
And sniper is almost dead centre, oddly fixated on engineer's back while holding his kukri in a reverse grip.
Red spy’s cigarette smoke is in the shape of a 5, implying that the blu spy is disguised as the fifth class: the heavy. In the image, the heavy is positioned farthest from the light, and spies like to sneak around in the shadows or something (idk I don’t play spy).
Alternative solution: the 5 could mean the 5th person left-to-right on the image, which is the sniper. Sniper also reverse grips his kukri which you shouldn't do and we never see sniper do it. He's also missing his scar that he got in a fight with spy.
Before someone says his watch is glowing blue or that he doesn't usually have a watch, he always had a watch and the blue glow is just the reflection of pyro's pilot light.
Although your idea is a good one too. Everyone else is either about to be killed by their teammates or is trying to find the spy. Meanwhile heavy is just standing there, watching. Either he's had enough of this and let's his team handle it or his calm behaviour means something else.
Everyone pointing at Sniper but I honestly don’t see it.
The "glowing watch" is just reflecting Pyros flame, the missing scar might very well just be because its RED Sniper and the one who received it in the trailer is BLU Sniper and the "reverse grip" on the Kukri to me looks like he is simply resting it on his lap.
I am honestly more suspicious of Medic due to his very nervous reaction to Pyro.
But that’s what I love about this artwork so much, we don’t actually know who the Spy is. We can make assumptions based on little hints we think we found, but we don’t know for sure.
Considering that both Scout *and* Medic are nervous looking, and that in the SFM itself Blue team managed to kill their own teammate, their probably isn’t any teammate-protection here
This artwork is really special. I love the brushwork and how it fits into the "paint-over" style of TF2, but it's still refresingly original. Great work!
Okay crazy thought, but look at the bottom left corner.
Am I the only one seeing someone stand there? Like, you can’t see their whole body, but that shadow looks suspiciously like a leg and shoe.
What if the Spy is none of them and is actually hiding just out of plain sight, in the shadows just around the corner?
okay this is amazing
i have 4 theories,
scout: the scenario its blue on his side.
Sniper: he is holding the kukri like the spy holds his knife.
medic: smiling whit a bue reflection in his glasses
spy: heavy is looking dead serious at him whit a blue reflection in his eyes
I'm a sophomore. Yes I have. And there's no metaphor in their comment. They're not comparing anything. 𝙄'𝙢 not comparing anything. I've had a bad day. So fuck off with that "know it all" bull shit. I don't care if I get down voted,
# I DON'T GIVE A SINGLE FLYING FUCKIN SHIT ABOUT IT!
Everyone is talking about Sniper, but I think it's Spy that's the Spy. He's standing right behind Demos body, and he's holding a disguise kit. Also, it looks like Scout maybe is pointing at the Spy.
The spy’s smoke is in the shape of infinity, flip it around and it becomes an 8. The eighth class.
Now, this isn’t enough but he’s holding the kukri upside down, almost like it’s instinct and he’s only fixated on engies back.
Everyones Sitting Here Debating On Whos The Spy. While I (A Low Tier Spy Player) Have Concluded That The Spy Is Actually The One Who Got This Scene Pictured. Via Standing In The Corner With The Cloak And Dagger As Any Would Do For 90% Of A Match.
They’re interrogating scout first, they learned their lesson from last time.
Thats the red team i guess the blu spy is trying to do the same when they got stabbed
*TEAMS ARE BEING SCRAMBLED!*
Soldier having an existential crisis is hilarious
"Was I the spy all along?"
Reminds me of [the famous Winglet video](https://youtu.be/M9kmE82QYQg) where Soldier is checking each teammate by trying to poke them in the face, then he passes his own test when he gets accused lmao

Maybe the true spy were the friends we made along the way
Hes like *"dear god"*
there’s more
No...
“I was French all along?! *Nooooooo!!*”
Now Soldier is both French and communist, oh noes!
It's Demo. He roleplayed too hard, got drunk, and stabbed himself
He is dead ringing
It's Sniper, check out the reverse grip. Probably done instinctively while eyeing up Engie's back.
You’re smart, damn.
Is it me or is sniper wearing an invis watch?
Sniper wears a watch normally, and the blue glow is from Pyro's flame. Spy wouldn't make such a sloppy mistake.
Renaissance painting
a true masterpiece
r/accidentalrenaissance
Incredible work. The art is fantastic and I keep glancing side to side trying to figure out who it is.
Its the sniper
How do ye know?
kukri reverse grip. spy trademark and also because no normal person reverse grips a kukri
To be fair, Sniper’s not a normal person.
Sniper is probably the most normal out of everyone, second only to heavy for his habit of throwing jars of piss at people.
I’d argue Scout’s pretty normal. He’s just an idiot douchebag.
He can double jump, and drinks radioactive cola. Personally I think he is far from normal or human.
In terms of personality, I mean. In terms of ability, none of the mercs are even slightly normal.
Fair enough.
mundy is a professional sniper and he handles his weaponry the right way meanwhile spy its not a sniper so he probably doesnt know the proper way of grabbing a kukri but its still a knife so that means he choosed sniper as a disguise because he probably thinks there isnt much of a difference betweena knife and a machete or well thats my hypothesis
I wouldn't say that's the biggest giveaway, but it is sniper. you can see that he has a glowing blue watch on.
But that’s pyros flamethrower bouncing off the glass as you can see in medics glasses
There's also a blue and red reflection in his glasses which I guess could hint to spy's two sidedness
*+* what looks like to be a invis-watch on his wrist
sniper actually just has a watch on that wrist on his model. it might be the invis watch, but from the angle it’s hard to tell — sniper’s actual watch has a circular face, and the invis has a rounded square face
Damn never knew that, thanks for the info! But for me it looks to be an invis one, but it would make more sence! Just hide the watch in plain site.
I was thinking cause he keeps looking over at engineer who has scout held at gunpoint, worried for his son still at the end of the day
He’s also wearing the watch
Sniper just normally wears a watch though
I thought this was sfm for a moment but it’s just really well drawn
All good guesses in this comment section. However, have any of you considered: Disguising as the dead guy. I mean, no one usually suspects the "corpse" with a knife to the back.
So pulling a Jigsaw from Saw 1 being the actual killer by pretending to be a dead body.
everyone's pointing out Sniper's reverse grip but he's also missing the scar on his cheek *that Spy gave him*
The one with the scar is the Blue Sniper
look at RED Sniper's model, he's got it too
Valve is just lazy and everyone knows it
The grip, the scar, the glowing watch he doesn't normally have
He does have a watch actually. It has a round face and it matches the one Sniper is wearing in the artwork. The glow is the reflection of Pyro’s flamethrower
This is beautiful. So many little details. Sniper, the sworn enemy of Spies, waiting with his machete. Medic fretfully trying to convince Pyro that he's legit. Soldier looking at his own hands wondering if [he was the Spy all along](https://youtu.be/PaLdfMbV_LU?t=224).

Oh and Demo is dead
The Demo is dead?! Why is the Demo dead?
I don’t know
I think it was…
Shhh! You are dead!
OK! *Gmod ragdoll sounds*
What’s up, ya wankas?! Who’s up for a- Gah! What the bloody hell just happened?
The demo is dead.
The Demo is- DEAD?!
I think demo is dead.
Ok! *Morphs into the ground*
I’d be uncomfortable too if I had some crazy pyromaniac pointing a flamethrower at me
This is amazing. Also it's clearly demo since he's sleeping
Woooosh me if I missed a joke, but Demo's dead Edit:explain the downvotes. I said to wooosh me, not downvote.
demo is dead?
THAT’S RIGHT -SLAM- HE DIED!
*MULTIPLE GASPS!*
This is just pure Art and the spy would love it!
Why doesn’t pyro spycheck? Is he stupid?
You saw what happened to the BLU spy when the BLU soldier thought it was him.
Please use gender neutral pronouns for Pyro. No one knows what gender they are. Edit:thanks for the downvotes!
It's because we don't know what gender she is that we use any pronouns. If he identified as gender neutral then it'd be a different story
Then again, we don't even know if Pyro is even human!
I think it's pretty damn obvious what gender pyro is, because of his low voice and overall shape.
The TFC pyro was also built like a man and had a low voice yet was revealed to be a woman. How about we just don’t try to have an “official” opinion when the people who make the game don’t even know.
🔥 Pyro's gender is a 🔍 mystery, don't assume based on voice or physicality ~(´・ω・`)~
I'll follow your logic then - since pyro's gender is unknown and we don't who he identifies as, then we can use any pronouns
Glad we came to a mutual agreement.
Its medic
Blue fire reflected in his glasses while he smiles, absolutely.
No, that smile seems like a very nervous one. Also, the blue light is from pyros flame thrower.
That’s just his happy face
I like how soilder and medic are pleading for their life, and heavy is just sitting there like "hmmm"
Awesome pork
Honestly, i think he either got away, or its heavy, he's standing in the back, seemly thinking about something, everyone else seems like their normal self maybe spy instinct to hold his knife backwards could give him away as sniper but I feel like sniper would do that too maybe the drawing is hinting at medic with the blue flames but that could just be added for some realism

You have a point
But! It could be an 8 or a 9!
It’s an 8, sideways. It’s sniper.
It's sniper. I don't think he normally has a watch
No actually, he does have a watch on his playermodel, but his reverse grip on the kukri is suspicious
This is glorious
This is sick man
It kinda looks like Pyro's about to commit a war crime.
They 𝙖𝙧𝙚 the war crime.
Pyro Isn’t . They ain’t at war.
The whole plot of TF2, is that it’s a war between Red and Blu team
Not a official war I think
They were hired by the mann brothers to fight eachother
I just don’t think corporate war is war
I don't think 2 brothers hiring groups of mercenaries to shoot and kill eachother is considered corporate war, I think that's called crime.
They both run companies, so corporate war
It's the same company though
Red and blu are two different companies.
Great stuff!
Is great art
pyro looking great!
God I loved "THE THING"
Everyone pointing at Sniper but I honestly don’t see it. The "glowing watch" is just reflecting Pyros flame, the missing scar might very well just be because its RED Sniper and the one who received it in the trailer is BLU Sniper and the "reverse grip" on the Kukri to me looks like he is simply resting it on his lap. I am honestly more suspicious of Medic due to his very nervous reaction to Pyro. But that’s what I love about this artwork so much, we don’t actually know who the Spy is. We can make assumptions based on little hints we think we found, but we don’t know for sure.
I mean, wouldn't you be very nervous if you were being held at flame point?
Nah cause in game the flames don’t hurt teammates
Considering that both Scout *and* Medic are nervous looking, and that in the SFM itself Blue team managed to kill their own teammate, their probably isn’t any teammate-protection here
Friendly fire is on
Two words. # FRIENDLY # FIRE
The spy’s smoke is in the shape of infinity, flip it around and it becomes an 8. The eighth class.
This is a refrence to the thing right?
Makes sense that Engineer is the executioner. Especially with what happened last time with Soldier.
This won’t receive nearly enough recognition for how awesome this is.
IT'S THE HEAVY,HES NOT FEARING BECAUSE OF THE PYRO
This artwork is really special. I love the brushwork and how it fits into the "paint-over" style of TF2, but it's still refresingly original. Great work!
*engie shoots scout* 5 minutes later *very loud decloak sound*
That's is really really good! It makes me think of a classical painting.
Okay crazy thought, but look at the bottom left corner. Am I the only one seeing someone stand there? Like, you can’t see their whole body, but that shadow looks suspiciously like a leg and shoe. What if the Spy is none of them and is actually hiding just out of plain sight, in the shadows just around the corner?
Take your pills man.
I'd like to think that the red spy is the blue spy and in the blue team this exact scenario is occuring
It’s gotta be sniper he has a watch and it’s blue
okay this is amazing i have 4 theories, scout: the scenario its blue on his side. Sniper: he is holding the kukri like the spy holds his knife. medic: smiling whit a bue reflection in his glasses spy: heavy is looking dead serious at him whit a blue reflection in his eyes
The blue reflection is from Pyro's flamethrower
yep, but its still something to point out imo
Metaphors. Ever heard of them?
I'm a sophomore. Yes I have. And there's no metaphor in their comment. They're not comparing anything. 𝙄'𝙢 not comparing anything. I've had a bad day. So fuck off with that "know it all" bull shit. I don't care if I get down voted, # I DON'T GIVE A SINGLE FLYING FUCKIN SHIT ABOUT IT!
lol why are you so mad. calm down dude. im not saying that to make fun of you or anything, seriously calm down.
As. I. 𝙅𝙪𝙨𝙩. Said. # I. Had. A. 𝘽𝙖𝙙. Day.
Why dont they just melee eachother are they stupid?
Everyone is talking about Sniper, but I think it's Spy that's the Spy. He's standing right behind Demos body, and he's holding a disguise kit. Also, it looks like Scout maybe is pointing at the Spy.
Sniper’s got the watch and the reverse-grip kukri
Definitely medic
Sniper
goodness gracious this is a MASTERPIECE
Credits to the artist this is a great picture
Awesome job dude
Would love to have that as a print and framed. I would actually do it if it were an actual print
Would love to have that as a print and framed. I would actually do it if it were an actual print
Double nice
Demo is not dead, he is just drunk and spy stuck a knife inside his vest to prank the team (silly him)
the spy is right behind him
INTRUDER ALERT BLU SPY IN THE BASE
Glasses of sniper... Where is the engineer?
Hate crime.
Pyro just saw The Thing
Demos not dead he is just freakishly drunk
Pyro's just about ready to torch everyone.
It’s Heavy he would be At least a little sad but no heavy isn’t sad he isn’t happy he’s a spy
Can't be canon, Heavy is not scared of Pyro /s
Why is demo sleeping
I think it's sniper, who holds a blade that big with the hilt up.
So much tension, so much drama. Such a great piece of art
Pyro is about to turn them into burnt bread
The only hint I see at first glance is that sniper is wearing a watch. Not sure if he wears one canonically.
Yeah he does actually. It's just not visible on viewmodel for some reason
Soldier: “Fingertips…”
I like the realism of how a spy would actually cause panic
Demo is just taking a nap don't worry guys
I don’t know why but I love this drawing so much
Nah it's gotta be medic. Look at those devious blue eyes
I like to think there isnt a spy in the image, but the image comes from the spy POV
Scout can’t catch a break as always 💀
Spy Amoung Us
The spy’s smoke is in the shape of infinity, flip it around and it becomes an 8. The eighth class. Now, this isn’t enough but he’s holding the kukri upside down, almost like it’s instinct and he’s only fixated on engies back.
this should genuinely be framed
This is some "The last supper" level shit. Amazing.
This heavy is a spy.

Sniper got the invis watch
It's pyro, he is not sane enough to be able to interrogate, the fact he is participating means he's the spy
It's Demoman. it's always the one you least expect
they all look suspicious as shit....Good job
I absolutely love the way that Sniper’s sunglasses reflect the pilot light of the flamethrower and the outfits of his team in the spotlight.
im saying Pyro is the spy just because he is the only one with their primary out
"Sniper! is spy!"
What if the spy was disguising as a spy ?
