[QUOTE=SgtR007;37797751]Just got back from a brutal hike in the Grand Canyon followed by debauchery in Vegas. I did a little more work on this little guy and called it a wrap. Don't worry, I didn't make an Engi version. [url="http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=98866153"]Please vote on the Workshop now[/url], or when it's linked in the NoTLU.

If sparkwire gets a hold of the model it will never see the light of day again.
Texture is pretty much finished on the Grenade Launcher and the hat's model. What do you guys think so far? [IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35490615/bombard/Left.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/35490615/bombard/Right.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=snookypookums;37797644]Well, I've kept that version safe as well. I'll be putting both up once it's done, or at least, that's the plan. :smile: Edited: Thought I'd also show off this thing that I originally made as a very bad joke. Originally tried to come up with a set to go along with this (Beach Street Brawler, Beach St. being Boston's version of Chinatown), failed miserably most likely because I didn't think it fit the scout. [IMG]http://puu.sh/18zeB[/IMG][/QUOTE] Can i texture it ?
[QUOTE=mphayes97;37799658][img]http://www.starburstmagazine.com/images/stories/auton.jpg[/img] ikr? and slenderman, which is what i thought of at first when i saw this[/QUOTE] yeah I'm hoping giving it a chipped paint on wood look will keep it out of slenderman territory. Ironic because a mannequin in a suit is used in videos with him. Do wood mannequins even exist? I dunno. [IMG]http://puu.sh/18Crn[/IMG]
Really feels way too simple. It's just an oval shape on a stick with a fancy texture.
[QUOTE=Simski;37799837]Really feels way too simple. It's just an oval shape on a stick with a fancy texture.[/QUOTE] can't think of anything else to do. Don't want to add a face because faceless is creepier. Don't want to add a bunch of flashy details like peeling wood because that's just distracting. Frankly I'm fine with it being simple. That's what's creepy. But if you can think of something to add I'll consider it.
Add seems down the middle and sides. Mannequins are usually stacked together, and it'll add to the creepiness.
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37799936]Add seems down the middle and sides. Mannequins are usually stacked together, and it'll add to the creepiness.[/QUOTE] I'm confused, what do you mean by stacked together? And which part are you referring to as the sides? Side of the head, like from top to chin?

It just looks so crazily detailed compared to the rest of pyro.
It's also social commentary about how our favorite characters have been reduced to faceless mannequins whose sole purpose's are to wear hats. [IMG]http://puu.sh/18CRs[/IMG] ~deep~

[QUOTE=Simski;37799837]Really feels way too simple. It's just an oval shape on a stick with a fancy texture.[/QUOTE] He's right, try adding minor details that still resemble the pyro such as [img]http://image.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/72078/72078,1242606957,1/stock-photo--mannequin-head-shot-with-gradient-background-30482857.jpg[/img] Note it's still clearly a human male, Try doing something similar to make it the pyro.

[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37800218]I'll try ears, maybe a nose, not doing eyes and mouth though, it's less creepy when it has a full face imo.[/QUOTE] I meant pyroesc features maybe both eyes and one filter. but keeping it simplistic so it still fits that category.
Add a carved on filter Maybe try to make it look more like a creepy, off brand pyro head
[QUOTE=ned_ballad;37800250]Add a carved on filter Maybe try to make it look more like a creepy, off brand pyro head[/QUOTE] Bingo.
I don't know, when it's specific pyro stuff that seems to fall under the "flashy, distracting" thing.
[QUOTE=Venezuelan;37800301]I don't know, when it's specific pyro stuff that seems to fall under the "flashy, distracting" thing.[/QUOTE] Well, here's the thing that I've wanted to say to many modelers in these threads. If you're not comfortable with peoples suggestions, make it how you want, it'll still be great because it's how you wanted it. [sp]unless it's crap, But yours doesn't fall under that category[/sp]
Well if you make it look like the pyro in color and shape ( as much as you can with textures) it won't be distracting.
Personally I like it how it is because I've seen a lot of films, video games, and TV shows that do the faceless thing and it's always superuber creepy and I love it. Hellraiser Inferno, Silent Hill 2, Watchmen, Jacob's Ladder, that one episode of Are You Afraid of the Dark with the little girl who turns out to be an alien, the Chozo games Yahtzee made, Slenderman even... it's just creepy... and to me for a Halloween inspired item seems perfect for the Pyro. Humanoid, but not quite humanoid, uncanny valley area where is it male? Female? Alive? What the hell is it? It doesn't need a filter, even one carved on or attached later, because that would detract from it's creepiness. Is it plain and simple? Yes. Does that make it bad? Absolutely not, it's simplicity adds to it's creep factor.
[QUOTE=Eeshton;37800339]Well if you make it look like the pyro in color and shape ( as much as you can with textures) it won't be distracting.[/QUOTE] my point is more this: one is a blank mannequin, it's mysterious, it's creepy, it's animate but be can make no facial connection whatsoever, it's creepy from just a glance and there's nothing more to it, which is what bothers us now if it had pyro parts, rather than go through that thought process, you're forced to imagine someone carving out a mannequin head specifically shaped like the pyro, and it has more personal recognition, even if it's just a filter, we know whose filter that is, it's familiar [editline]25th September 2012[/editline] anyway, I'm dumb and can't make ears, but I added a subtle nose and brow [IMG]http://puu.sh/18Dwn[/IMG]
