TF2 Mod Emporium 46

[Ceiling Man]

I love the Mutton Chops and Pipe, but I never liked how it paints the pipe too, so I did a 2-minute alpha fix.

Back on the heavy helm. Work in progress. No textures. Test base colors. Test shading values. A collaboration between me and ned_ballad.

A name with no alliteration, no gimmicks, just cute.
I would write a description, but last time I wrote a description for an item, it was changed to something mediocre when it got in game.[/QUOTE]

I want it to just be called Bruce. The styles would also be called "Bruce". All of them. True blue Australianness.

I thought it was time for the Home made honors to get a full redux.

Left is the new, old is the right. I honestly have no idea what I was thinking back then, why the fuck did I make all those cylinders so smooth.

You should make some custom animations for those cubes

Yeah, maybe have each of them slowly rotating in a different direction.

Heavy ideas to go with the Gym Rat + Toss-Proof Towel.

[B]The Barbaric Barbells[/B] [I][Melee weapon][/I]
A pair of weights that can be used in two different styles; 50kg in each hand (fists-type reskin) or 100kg in one hand (Saxxy-type reskin).
"Show the world that it really is muscle, not fat, by hitting them with these babies*!"

Set: Let's Get Physical
Items: Gym Rat, Toss-Proof Towel, Barbaric Barbells
Set Bonus: 60% Sweat increase

*Do not actually hit enemies with babies. 1 out of 4 children is seriously injured by being used as a bludgeon without proper safety equipment.

I'm thinking I might do some styles for the 3 lines on the front of it. Maybe a TF logo or something like that.

[AlfieSR]

I read that as "Furry paintable" at first

They already have that, and they're jiggle boned.

I think a canteen would be a cool soldier lunchbox item, using the buffbanner animations to make it look like he's taking a swig.

[QUOTE=Simski;35742402]I think a canteen would be a cool soldier lunchbox item, using the buffbanner animations to make it look like he's taking a swig.[/QUOTE]

There is already [URL="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=122&searchtext="]one banner item[/URL] in the workshop that uses the trumpet animation to simulate drink-swigging. But yeah, a canteen could be cool. I wouldn't mind seeing one made.
Fun fact: If the Soldier got a lunchbox item, he'd have four different types of secondary. Five if you count pistol (Bison) and shotgun as different things.

[Simski]

A canteen and one of those bigass fucking soldier backpacks would look awesome together.

the skulls on Pyro probably would have been positioned better if he did use jigglebones

[QUOTE=Simski;35742568]A canteen and one of those bigass fucking soldier backpacks would look awesome together.[/QUOTE]

That could indeed look totally radical. Canteen and backpack seems more fitting for the Soldier than whiskey bottle and liquor cabinet.

I'm currently fiddling around with designs for those phlog and manmelter replacement concepts I mentioned a while ago. Until I'm done, have this picture that inexplicably keeps turning up in every reference image search I make.

Paintable...seriously...

[ned_ballad]

with very very rare exceptions (like Team Captain), every cosmetic should be paintable

[editline]28th April 2012[/editline]

be kind of interesting to see a dual class set. 3 items shared by two classes that can both have the full set.

You're illustrating bad paint colours, not bad painting.
Browns, black or greys work just fine for those.

I don't really see why the Team Captain should be unpaintable. It could still have a unique base colour per class with paint enabled.

Well, yeah, there are a handful of item/paint combinations that actually improve the item, but I barely ever see people using those.

Even the colors that in themselves are stylish and cool (Drably Olive, Gentleman's Business Pants, Similar to Slate etc.) tend to look bad when combined with most items.

true, I forget you have some leeway with how much tint gets applied

I promise I will actually release this.
And yes, i'm still working on the gravity gun (texture).

It took me up to about 2 weeks ago, while showing my friends Meet the Soldier, to finally get the ending joke. "And from there on whenever a bunch of animals got together in one place, it's called a [b][i]TZU![/b][/i]"

I felt so ashamed that it took so long.

Whoa, I never got that at all. It disappoints me a bit though, as it makes the monologue slightly more coherent.

Unless it's something with one actual color in real life. which describes five out of six of the cosmetics I've made.
