OK, I was advised to post my TF2 creations here by tehMuffinMan, in order to get some help with them.
The first is the Toxic Torchbug, a Pyro weapon I made to go with the Hazmat Headcase:

(Old pic, I'll update it when I can)
The second is the Tom's Peepers, a pair of binoculars as a misc. item I intend for the Scout, though in hindsight the Sniper might be a better choice.

Lastly, I have the Armed to the Tooth, which I may or may not have help making from [WDZ] The Ronin. It's a knife for the Soldier to hold in his teeth.

When I first saw the knife I thought it'd be just another knife melee for soldier, but one in his teeth as a misc sounds like a great idea.

I figured it'd be a Soldier appropriate thing to make.
[QUOTE=ZombiPlastiClok;37531127]Of course! On the Steam Workshop page, I'm giving him a bit of credit so he gets a selfmade
Also did anyone call this? Because I want to do it. Bad[/QUOTE]
I'd hope he'd get more than a " little bit ". Considering he gave you the full idea and color scheme for the texture, I'd say 10-15% is fair.
[QUOTE=Clovernoodle;37531163]*Meet the Pyro*
I'm sorry, what?[/QUOTE]
This is why I was disappointed by Meet the Pyro.
Before it came out, the whole "ecks dee Pyro is so random" thing was generally frowned upon when making Pyro Hats. When Meet the Pyro came, it pretty much gave people a [I]free pass[/I] for that kind of shit.
I mean don't get me wrong- I like some of the "wacky" Pyro items, but [I]god damn valve you could've picked any other backstory for him and this wouldn't have happened[/I]

I don't think Valve's concerns should lie in "what kind of items are the community going to make in response to this"
I mean come on they already put a Dr. Seuss hat in their game, at least let them have a fun and unique backstory. "grr I'm a sociopath" is tired and old, don't see why people keep clinging to it.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37531794]"grr I'm a sociopath" is tired and old, don't see why people keep clinging to it[/QUOTE]
You know, they could have added some depth to the "sociopath" part and make it an actually interesting backstory instead of adding Frollicky Lollipop Gumdrop Land. Just because something's old doesn't mean you can't make it interesting.
Hmm... I found the rainbow psychopath angle to be even scarier and deep than a straight psychopath angle
[QUOTE=Totenkreuz;37531521]That's so small no one would ever notice it.
Have it bursting out the top and bottom of his jacket.[/QUOTE]
Having it bursting out of every possible opening can work I guess.
This as a misc then I could make a separate hat that's not just some hay coming out of his hat.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37531460]I think the idea of scarecrow soldier isn't bad. The stringy method probably won't work though.
Maybe something like this?

with transparent, textured hay?
[QUOTE=NeoDement;37529594]remove the secret characters please[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37529662]just axe them, I never liked them as part of the game.[/QUOTE]
They hold a very strong sentimental value, at this point it would be very difficult to convince people to allow their removal without being met with large resistance.
At the time of the game's conception, it became a running gag on tigsource that all of the newly-made games were inspired by Cave Story in some way shape or form. When Medo was first creating the game engine, he used Quote as a placeholder until mrfredman finished the artwork -- one on RED and another on BLU. The placeholders were kept in the game as a tribute to the running gag and as an homage to the game's early days of creation. Today, they act as a bit of a wildcard when it comes to game balance -- they've been going back and forth through nerfs, buffs, and complete overhauls, since it's plain difficult to create a new style of class that isn't already covered by the other 9.
Once I finish the alternate weapon project that I started earlier this summer, I might attempt to incorporate their weapon into a different class and create a subclass -- much like how the Demoknight exists in TF2 without requiring a 10th class to be made. It's still going to be a challenge to convince sentimental players and developers to let go of the class, though. Even if incorporated into another class, it will not be a perfect recreation due to size/health/speed differences between classes.
Also why was this conversation taking place here instead of the GG2 thread? :v:
a 10th demoknight class for gg2 would be pretty cool
The spirit of his flares are taking over his soul

Also the option to play as rowbuts

Trust me when I say that it's really hard to balance melee in a 2d plane when the UI only permits for 2 inputs when it comes to weapons. For the sake of simplicity, classes are sticking with their current weapon format -- no need to mix weapon switching into the concoction. Either melee is too weak once in range, too powerful once in range, the method of getting in range is too good, or the method of getting in range is abysmal. Since there's no way to actually ambush people, the class has to be a brute in order to actually kill someone, but if the class is too durable, then it will steamroll people who get in its way. The Infiltrator is the only class that can truly ambush people due to his innate invisibility whenever he stands behind someone; and his only form of melee is a 1-hit kill from any direction that is more comparable to a tauntkill due to the difficulty with trying to balance a more-accurate backstabbing mechanic in a 2d environment.
Quote and Curly have this style of thing in their possession, but it is not a true melee. The Bubbler acts as a shield that can absorb bullets and syringes and defect sticky mines, but flames and blades will tear the shield apart, and the rifle and rockets will ignore the shield entirely. And players coming in contact with the shield will destroy it and deal minor damage. The Blade is a projectile with limited range. Due to it having knockback, it is most effective when used to pin someone into a wall or corner while wailing on them. It being so terrain-focused makes the class limited when in the open and very potent when the terrain allows it to be. The blades can also be used to extract a player from a group, such as separating a Healer and his patient.
If I were to assign any class to get a weapon like that as a subclass, it would most likely go to Firebug, as he is the close-range specialist. How such a weapon would be explained to be in the pyromaniac's possession or even how it is used or looks is unknown at this time.

I swear that name has been suggested for every single rocket launcher that's been made.
