[QUOTE=ComfyCushion;38021964]Ducksink, I love the beard. Did JZeeba and I never post this pic? It's the Preternatural Pilot with the all-class hats.

Btw. I don't think i complimented it yet, but that alien pilot is one of the most clever workshop creations out there. Definitely a thumbs up.

[QUOTE=Roninsmastermix;38022286]Btw. I don't think i complimented it yet, but that alien pilot is one of the most clever workshop creations out there. Definitely a thumbs up.[/QUOTE] its not exactly clever, the idea has been bounced around for a while before it was made. a shame that the execution isnt that great though :\

Am I the only one who thinks that a tiny alien piloting the Pyro is a stupid idea and doesn't fit TF2 at all? Not critizing the hat itself, it's well done but it just doesn't fit.

Page peons will be the death of me (my last few posts have all been peons so no feedback) I would like thoughts on this please. It is part of the buff pack I am making for the soldier for christmas. I may even make a whole set. [img]http://puu.sh/1euEf[/img]

[QUOTE=Sparkwire;38022302]its not exactly clever, the idea has been bounced around for a while before it was made. a shame that the execution isnt that great though :\[/QUOTE] "Congrats on finally finishing and workshopping that item you've been working on and continuously posting WIPs and stuff of on the emporium. By the way, you're unoriginal and bad at making stuff. Just thought I'd mention it." EDIT: Hm? I'm not a big fan of the item either, but the timing of that post came across as pretty rude to me. What am I missing?

[QUOTE=Deodorant;38022372]"Congrats on finally finishing and workshopping that item you've been working on and continuously posting WIPs and stuff of on the emporium.

The creation process requires criticism, correction, and if necessary - reiteration. Unless you live in a wishy-washy world where everything everyone makes is instantly good, and we should all pat ourselves on the back every time. The texture on the alien head seems flat and the whole idea of a small being controlling pyro's body has been posted here many times over.

i kinda feel it does not fit TF2 as well as others but i don't mind seeing it in game either. I just want to give praise where i think its due. Also, extra praise if it was in development for a long time and hard work was put on it.

I personally find both the idea and execution of the item unfitting. Now, I can't remember if people complained on the previous occasions when pics of the item were posted, but if they didn't it seems too late to do it now, and if they did CC clearly doesn't want to change it. Making a sweeping negative comment just after it's been workshopped seems redundant either way.

[QUOTE=.Glenn;38022280]It looks excellent with the pyrovision goggles. Anyway, hai guys, first post here. I have this concept/model that I would like some feedback on. It's going to be a replacement for the Flying Guillotine. The only problem is that I will probably not be able to make it not spin. [IMG]http://img1.uploadscreenshot.com/images/orig/10/28606313420-orig.png[/IMG] It's pretty open to changes and ideas. I was thinking the texture could probably be some kind of Saxton Hale comic, perhaps a newspaper page...[/QUOTE] Dont make it guillotine replacement, make it balloonicorn replace!

guys stop fighting youre tearing me apart i dont know who to side with so stop fighting so i dont have to pick a side

They often just look like straight up base colors with a few brush strokes and the color combos are usually pretty off. It would be an incredible shame to see you leave though

dont stop :c

A few things: -Thank you to everyone who has left positive comments and helpful criticisms. That is a major part of why I lurk in these forums. -It would be helpful, if you think it's lacking something, to actually say what you think it's lacking, instead of being pointlessly vague. I can't try to make it better if I don't know what's so dissatisfying about it. -I have not seen anywhere where the alien pilot idea has been anything more than a passing mention. No drawings, no models, no nothing. I put this together off of my own original idea, not because I saw someone else talking about doing it. -It only took me a couple weeks of off-and-on work to put it together. If you think that makes it bad, I guess you're entitled to your opinion. -I don't understand people saying it doesn't fit into TF2. It's meant as a Halloween item. Does the Apparition's Aspect fit? Does the Voodoo Juju or the World Traveler's Hat? I think what fits into TF2 is a very loose category, and I'll hold that opinion until someone actually says something that explains to me why they think it doesn't fit.

Don't use others mistakes to justify your own.

Am I going crazy? Again, please explain to me what mistakes I've made and why the item doesn't fit. I'm not trying to make excuses and I'm not just being contentious. If you think there's something wrong with the item I made, please be specific. Telling me you don't like it doesn't help me improve it in any way.

You can only notice it's an alien in a ship on close-up pictures. The way it's shaped like the real Pyro mask is clever but it also doesn't help the readability of the hat. From far away, or even from relatively close, it just looks like a futuristic mask with weird eyes. I understand it's an alien but remember it's a game, and the head will move even when you stay still. Also, there's no way you can understand that these are arms coming out from under an alien head, even when in the spawn room. It doesn't help that they're so small, not only compared to the head, but for TF2. They're thinner than Scout's necklace.

[QUOTE=VernoGuy;38021600]I like the name Good Motors more, because who would name a company Bad Motors (unless it was catering to to a punk culture or something). I also think the upward curve of the "Good" logo looks better with the text than the downward curve.[/QUOTE] Bad as in Badass, definitely a common selling point in car companies

[QUOTE=Harakiwi;38022866]Alright, let's do this: -bunch of pictures- Reason why so many at once? Well, I'm thinking about quitting, by the end of this month. Or at least for a [I]very[/I] long time. [sp]I'm not joking[/sp][/QUOTE] Whoa, that's a lot of stuff to post at once... Great quality on nearly all of them too! The only thing I can point out is that the Plunder Hunter looks rather... Odd. I don't really understand its purpose as a hat. I especially like the Boltflinger. Great idea, great execution.

You've created a fair amount of great items, and I think you have one of the most distinctive styles on the emporium. Hope you'll have fun doing whatever you'll be doing instead. And thanks for the giant pile of mods!

I thought it looked like something a supervillain would wear.

every single one of those should be on the workshop, they're great. edit: Oh, they are already, cool!

[QUOTE=Harakiwi;38023519]It's based on a leather football helmet with spectacles/goggles and a nose protector(?). I thought it looked like something a supervillain would wear.[/QUOTE] Ah, now I see it. Well, the goggles look rather unfitting in my opinion. I didn't see it was a football helmet because the leather straps were way too thick, and the flaps on the sides stick out too much. It doesn't look too much like leather because of the oversaturated color too. Don't get me wrong though, it's still a cool hat. I would recommend fixing those things I mentioned though.
