[QUOTE=HyperTails;31821882]Who?[/QUOTE] The guy who made the Soldier Polycount entry with the Black box and Softcap. He's made countless other items, too. [editline]19th August 2011[/editline] Ninjaaassss
Just traded my Machina for a bunch of other weapons. 1 of which was a bison. I already had a sydney and 2 scrap so I didn't hesitate to make another one.

No it was another one I crafted.

To be honest I dislike how some of the new weapons look, they kind of look like nerf guns (Diamondback and the new rifle). They're still neato though, they just need a lot of statwork. Also, got triple meatshots with the Widowmaker on a demoman. Awww yeah.

The shogun and deus ex items all look lovely though, great work.
[QUOTE=PSI Guy;31822106]To be honest I dislike how some of the new weapons look, they kind of look like nerf guns (Diamondback and the new rifle). They're still neato though, they just need a lot of statwork.[/QUOTE] Actually, they don't, really. I'd like to get my hands on a maverick that looked like the diamondback. But I do think that they seem a bit too meaty for the art style, and Engie's new shotgun looks really out of place.

I think the company that makes Deus Ex could've contacted him a la Sega and Shogun.

Awww yeah.[/QUOTE] The designs for the items were specified by Eidos-Montreal. Little could be done to twist the design, at least I didn't include the mount rails! :p However I did have creative freedom with the Short Circuit in terms of design and name.

I found that post informative! I need to look through Laro's deviantart, people like him always have neat art.
[QUOTE=Jetamo;31822179]Can I ask... were you contacted by Valve to make the new promo items, or what?[/QUOTE] I was approached by Eidos-Montreal to create the promotional items, Valve gave me a choice of 4 out of 8 items to create. Valve created the rest of the items, the machina, nanobalaclava, purity fist and the company man.

I wish I could change it but its way too late for that.[/QUOTE] Your tank buster pack are some of the best looking models in the game and are a shining example of what any TF2 addition should look like. They aren't "too dark", they're dark because that's what they should be.
to be fair the only item I don't like is the Nanobalaclava. doesn't really fit.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;31822480]you could have made the company man which would make the workload much lighter[/QUOTE] I could have, but where is the fun in that? :p

[QUOTE=Brunix;31822532]They also added blueprint for Original [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5803603/original.PNG[/img][/QUOTE] Well that's just.. weird. But I'm okay with it.
I'm ok with it. I'm glad I didn't try to craft it beforehand, all the failed attempts I've seen
so... with a new original recipe... did the previous crafted ones turn vintage?
[QUOTE='[Z];31822614']so... with a new original recipe... did the previous crafted ones turn vintage?[/QUOTE] No because the new recipe is even more expensive.
[QUOTE=johnlmonkey;31822543]Thats a rather boring recipe.[/QUOTE] New recipe: 2 Black Boxes + 1 Liberty Launcher + 4 Direct Hits + 1 Cloak and Dagger + 2 Refined Better?
I hate this new update cuz i can't get all the new weps with a g. pip boy :arghfist:
