Ever wondered whom Valve based the L4D characters on?

[Carne]

EDIT: I e-mailed Valve and asked if they could give me the names of the L4D 2 models aswell, will post if they anaswer.

Here's the answers:


Francis: Taylor Knox

Louis: Sean Bennett

Bill: Bernard Fouquet

Zoey: Sonja Kinski

interesting

 

[Allster]

Okay.. That is pretty interesting but why lol?

 

[Carne]

Why I posted this or why Valve chose these people ?

 

[Zegz]

well i said interesting because 99% of video games have characters designed after the developers. So it was interesting to see who was based off of who.

 

[.:cake:.]

I send my picture to valve, hopefully they'll put me in L4D3

The new ones are based on TF2 characters.

Spy, Heavy, Scout, and a chick is what I see

Coach could also be Uncle Phil.

 

[The Red Comet]

I don't see a whole lot of resemblance in Louis, they must've morphed the head shape a bit.
