Gearbox Software: "Borderlands art style took a massive shift that Pitchford initially knew nothing about"

"So, a couple of them - without me knowing about it - went back and looked at all the original concept art we’d done for the game and they found there was a lot of character and personality that was cool." said Pitchford.

"They started tinkering, putting the concept art in (the game) running real time, working with the programmers to figure out a way to render it so it would look like that."
