The 1st page needs to be updated, is the current one full?

[QUOTE=LonelyRobot;44231646]Little update, just made (rough) colour versions of Dark Ones concept art (with his permission, to be safe) , as well as a probably temporary medigun name (just going to link):

Again, if anyone is interested in working on the model, leave me a pm.[/QUOTE]

this is just me, but you can model why can't you just do it yourself overall the geometry isn't that complex with a few exceptions to that cable and the front section.

then you've got the tricky thing of finding someone to texture it.

[Kibbleknight]

[QUOTE=dolphin;44230692]I think you have pretty good ideas overall despite your negative ratings most of the time.

But you should really think about ditching whatever program you are using though (ms paint?). The thick bold black lines look kinda bad and squish everything together making most things look cluttered.

I know my concepts are not good looking whatsoever but I think this should help.

Here are some free drawing software you can try:

There are more out there but these are just some that came to mind, good luck![/QUOTE]

as much as i appreciate your intention here, i have to disagree with ditching the program, which is Paint.net. despite the fact most of my concepts have thicker outlines, its only ever when a modeler requests a more detailed image that i put more detail into one. I prefer to make a vague idea sketch, and receive feedback upon it before fully fleshing out concepts.

here is a semi relevant example:

The only thing that has changed is the outline color...

Edit: I don't think you know what vague means, because in your example, you've actually described less than the original version. When people suggest you switch programs it's because you've shown no progress in your technical skills, you're still doing what you did years ago. Unless you're totally cool with stagnating, I'd suggest exploring new techniques, trying out new tools, and being more open to criticism.

Couldn't agree more, I for example went from making concepts that look like this; [t]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c62/Alistair555/Tf2-Hair-1.jpg[/t][t]http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c62/Alistair555/pyro-balanced-breakfast.jpg[/t]

To stuff like this;

all thanks to taking feedback on board and trying to improve my skill set and the way I work.

so is just in case, but does anyone here do commission for texturing? and how much would it be for a dozen different items in bulk.

Why not learn how to texture?

[QUOTE=TrevorTheJedi;44234290]Why not learn how to texture?[/QUOTE]
i'm already learning, its just certain things may halt this entirely.. or at lest for the next 16 months.

People here generally work on an item if they like it and are excited by it. Not too many people here are doing it for the sole sake of getting their fingers in as many workshop submissions as possible in order to get money. That being said you can just split the percentage up with the texturer once you submit the item.

[QUOTE=TheJukebox;44234573]Not too many people here are doing it for the sole sake of getting their fingers in as many workshop submissions as possible in order to get money.[/QUOTE]

i guess that would stop commission base work, beyond the stuff that valve does.. anyway.

[QUOTE=TheJukebox;44234573]That being said you can just split the percentage up with the texturer once you submit the item.[/QUOTE]

if it was a commission there would be no need for percentage, because you've paid them for the work and technically brought them out but even then there are options like if it was completed by a reasonable date..

[Mellowbloom]

why commission someone to do a bunch of textures you might get no return on when most artists will happily work for a %

see; most items on the workshop

[Dark One]

[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;44234697]why commission someone to do a bunch of textures you might get no return on when most artists will happily work for a %[/QUOTE]

simple its time constraints.. plus, i've actually contacted a few people already and a lot of them are just busy and at lest with a commission there is then an intensive to do it.

I would put some more team color on the sleeves. Maybe up to the class emblem.

Also, I liked the old concept collar more.

does anyone have any other suggestions for this to maybe make it look more interesting? Model or texture wise?[/QUOTE]

Do any Blender animators here know how to get Auto IK working with Source imports?

Also I cannot for the life of me get the stupid firing animation to play in-game on that SMG [URL="http://i.imgur.com/cIOItgd.gif"]world model animation fix[/URL] I made a while ago so I'm just gonna upload the source instead of letting it sit on my hard drive.

Maybe someone smarter than me can fix it, I've tried everything, it refuses to work, even compiled from the unmodified SDK files. I was hoping Crowbar's newest decompiler might tell me the info I need but not even that helped, I officially give up.

works a lot better than your outline stuff. Still you need to work more on the shading and making it less flat.

The thing is that you need to get familiar with software you working with, and be able make full use of it. Like right now main problem I can see in your drawings is the lack of knowledge how to bend colors. Thats why I suggested SAI, since it has some nice brushes for colors blending so its pretty easy to get good results. Just take some time to learn how to use them.

[Omninerd]

So, I used Mellowbloom's concept for the Librarian Heavy set and added some items:

I don't know if I should leave it without class emblem. I mean, Scout and Spy doesn't have it...

It will probably take a while before i figure out all of the tools and such, but in the mean time ill do this:
