This article serves as an archive of past TDM concept art and discussions related to concept art.

It also houses fan art for TDM, made either by individual FM authors of player-only fans of TDM, and discussions about said fan art.

Concept Art

Official concept art for TDM. Most of it was made in the earliest years of the mod (2004-2009), before its initial public release in 2009. A few pieces of concept art are from more recent years, mainly for ideas or characters that have been contemplated, but not yet included in TDM.
