[QUOTE=Deodorant;37456377]I don't think murderous psychopath is the [I]only[/I] stereotype associated with the character, and I certainly don't want all Pyro items to be more or less forced film references.[/QUOTE]
[quote=Simski]Nameless faceless henchmen, horror movie psychopath killers, crossdressing serial killers, arsonists, pyromaniacs, pyrotechnicians, firemen, sadists, lunatics, unintelligible characters, faceless mysterious dark characters... that's just off the top of my head. There's plenty of stereotypes that fit Pyro perfectly[/quote]
Also before someone asks, arsonist, pyromaniac, and pyrotechnicians are not synonyms.

Beanie is reference to mischievous and misfit kids, the kind you would probably find sitting away from the other children on the playground, using a magnifying glass to burn ants

Most of all, I think there's enough wacky things for Pyro. Yes, Pyro can be "wacky crazy", but a large majority of all cosmetic items for Pyro is based on this idea, and it's getting really, REALLY boring and uncreative. I want more items that aren't based on "wacky crazy", because there's a lot of that already, I want more items based on "psycho crazy". I want more of the non-pyroland Pyro portrayed in MtP. I want more arsonist, I want more axe crazy, I want more deranged and evil, I want more fearsome, and I want more professional. These are the ideas that right now would be unique for Pyro, because nothing can be unique if there doesn't exist anything normal.
[editline]29th August 2012[/editline]
I also think Pyro needs less of those "resourceful" weapons, because Pyro if anyone could use some more professional weapons.
[QUOTE=Pocket Medic;37455059]My Bloody Valentine set? Nice, but the pickaxe could cause confusion between it and the other two in the game.[/QUOTE]
Uh...
WHAT?
Have you seen this movie? The pickaxe is twice as big and pointed on both ends, there is no chipping end like on the others! It's perfect with Pyro's animations, too. See what I mean?

I did this video for the Saxxy's last year; sadly, I had to do it by myself, cause all my actors fucked off and I couldn't get anything filmed correctly, so it came out crap.

Did you consider adding a hat or collar? Anyways, good job. I just think the smile could look a bit more evil/scary.
Pogo, is the clown hair final?
If not, do you think you could make it a bit more shaggy looking like in these pictures?

I think the hair right now looks a bit too shiny and... well, not sure, but it doesn't quite look like clown hair.
Right now, it looks a bit like Pyro grew tentacles right out of the back of his head.

i think a good idea for the clown set would be the make the hat be the hair plus a hat (since having the hair as a misc would make it clip)
And i think that rather than making the head misc be just a clown face it shoudl be a gas mask with clown makeup painted on it.
maybe a design like this

Wasn't someone making a spider buddy for pyro's back? Glad to know that's been postponed. I'm deathly afraid of spiders and that..thing creeps me out, so i'm pretty happy there's no pictures of it on recent pages.

I recommend doing something more with the front, so it doesn't look like a minigun as i assume it's not going to work like one

I love the tubing, but the lower handle is absurdly flimsy and the front ends somewhat abruptly.

Without the filter he looks like one of those water gun carnival game clowns, the ones you fill with water to see who can fill it the fastest. :v:

I did consider a hat and/or collar, yes. I originally designed a more scary look to the mask, but it felt forced and that somehow made it less creepy. With the pyro's big saucer eyes it's hard to get an angry expression. Instead I took the tainted innocent look - while not inherently scary gives a vibe that feels "not right".

Looking at those hairstyles compared to my current, I can definitely push the madness of the hair. The sacrifice is not being able to wear hats with the hair (probably) since it will be more up near the head.
To make up for that I'll do a tiny little hat and flower, or something.

the sideburn-area looks a bit off. maybe lengthen it some and give the scout some greaser sideburns? but the current shape of the sides just seems unnatural.

To all of what you just said, YES, DO IT, NOW.
Oh god, I'm imagining that clown mask emitting an electronic clown's laughter upon taunting.
I look at it and hear the Bioshock Circus of value clown laugh.
For an extra misc idea, have a helium tank on his back with balloons attached maybe the ones from the achievement icon.
