Hey! my name is Liran and I love making tf2 items[if I didnt I probably would have stopped back in 2011]
I owe a lot to Valve and the TF2 community for creating this wonderful collaborative greenhouse that allows many people to find their passion for game art and design and develop it within itself, and even make money off of it(which as you get older sounds less and less like a bad thing).

I still remember the morning shout of joy that 14 year old me produced when his own voodoo doll resembling creation was put out to be worn by thousands of people worldwide, its a great, motivating memory and i'm sure that if you'd ask other contributors they would share similar experiences.

I've opened this thread to shoot out progress, ideas, and get feedback on stuff that I make without clogging up the emporium thread. I've been pretty much out of the game for the past 3 years due to my military service but i'm now fully back with plenty of energy and time[right before life slaps me to the ground]

TO CONCEPT ARTISTS/COLLABORATORS
I love working with creative and fun concepts and developing them along with the artist who made them, if you want to work with me please shoot me up a message on steam or on facepunch! if I want to make your concept i'll be sure to spam you about it.

TO NEWCOMERS
As much as I had trouble getting started and endlessly harassed people for help(mainly pogo and neodement), I'd love to be of help to anyone new who wants to learn.

Putting Olaf on the backburner, I resumed working on this guy
I re-made the bodys fur to be thicker and more full, because I ran into rigging issues with the former[stretching and squishing looking ugly on default weapon poses], also I think it gives it a bit more character covering nearly his whole vest like that. also moved his emblem to the cape(which is now jiggleboned) because it squished oddly as well what do you think?

Yikes, I did the HP mesh, bakes and textures

[Garry #3]

Goddamn man, even with your stuff that really breaks from the (already mutated) tf2 artstyle, your stuff feels like it fits amazingly well.
Don't know what it is exactly, but it just feels like you know what tf2 should look like.

Not sure about that weird bit of wear right down the center of the caps peak

https://i.imgur.com/eSwij0B.png

[Ducksink]

its a stress mark of the underlying material after the peak has been folded in a sharp angle several times(because thats what cool kids do)
